> Tell that to Europeans who can't afford a home and who are struggling to pay the bills. HN users constantly pulling out a random statistic off Google to dispute the reality people actually live in is the bane of this forum. Are you suggesting the housing situation is better in the US of all markets? > People don't care about meaningless statistics or graphs, they care about what's in their bank account and how that number has evolved(or devolved) compared to the past. People actually care about much more than that, including family life, health, and human rights, which are all better in the EU than the US. People's finances are _also_ better in the EU than the US in real terms. > What matters is how people feel about their situation. If this is true, people in the EU are _much_ happier with their lives than in the US. At this point, I'm not sure if you're trolling or completely disconnect with the reality of life in the US?
