Norway in this case. I'm not sure what America's delusion would be.
I've been living here too long to tell.
In any event, I think America's dirty laundry has been thoroughly scrutinized at this point.
Every time I return to Europe most people are all too happy to remind me what precisely is wrong with America (income disparity, minority incarceration rates, healthcare, etc etc).
- pedrocr 17y agoI agree that continuously pointing out those gets tiring fast (even though they are true). But then the US response tends to be "but on average we make more money". It's great that the US produces more (and can borrow more) and can buy more stuff, but that in itself does not guarantee quality of living. Diminishing returns on happiness of having more money kick in too soon for that to be a full argument.
