You look at Europe and seriously want that?

I live in Prague but travel often to the DC area for business. I’d choose to live in Prague in about 70000 out of 80000 simulations. It just feels better to live here for many reasons (safety, culture, nature, walkability, quality of restaurants and clubs and overall you don’t see many poor people around). Europe has economic issues but the quality of life is very high most of the time.

  I would also choose Prague over DC. Honestly DC is not a great place to live.

Over the American system? Anyday

Multiparty representative democracy with a prime minister is a far superior system than a presidential republic.

  It has advantages but I don’t see UK, Germany and France thriving.

Universal healthcare, strong working class, strong k-12 education, govt mandated work/life balance & child support, abortion, free from a large population of Christian (protestant) nationalism that influences politics at every level... why yes, yes I do.

  Universal healthcare is usually not a plus.. ask any Canadian.

    Meh, I personally like it. It's a bit of liberating feeling to never, ever think about health insurance here in Vancouver. Obviously has ups and downs (especially for non elective surgeries), but it's my personal preference.

    I'm Canadian and living in California. I want Universal Healthcare.

      Try living in Canada. And experience the healthcare and wait times there. Many Canadians come to the USA for healthcare, or wish they could.

        Even if the wait times get bad sometimes, isn't it worth the wait at times rather than going bankrupt? I think it's...a great trade off. There are wait time problems in US too but maybe not as common.

        You know it's the law in the US to have health insurance? Literally everyone must have health insurance otherwise you get penalized. If you have health insurance it's not going to bankrupt you. I know plenty of people without a job and are poor in the US... guess what? They get free healthcare. They don't pay a penny. You can even give birth and not pay a penny out of pocket if you are on Medical. The US has a large population on free healthcare. California actually has quite a large "socialist" state. Lots of things are free or near free for people people. Similar to Canada or Europe. No one talks about it though.

Beauty, walkable cities, history, better workers rights? I have never found a reason to go to the USA besides jobs and your national parks, nothing else.
