This is true literally everywhere in the world. Some places may be more up front about it and others may try to hide it more, but in the end, everyone is subject to the same constraints of economics.
- VeejayRampay 11y agoIt is indeed true of pretty much everywhere in the world. But the people in the United States have, in my opinion and understanding of the world, a more natural tendency towards cold mercantilism where the personal feelings don't take precedence over good business models and potential financial gain. It is a trait that I believe is true of many protestant-based, trading-infused societies (like the UK, the Netherlands and others). That should have read: "Money talks everywhere, but even more so in the U.S".
