I've visited the Netherlands 3 times, Germany twice, Canada once over the last ten years. Also Costa Rica and China. I understand I have lived a privileged life, materially.

I've lived in the USA for the entirety of my approximate quarter century of so-called adult life.

Rose colored spectacles not withstanding, the EU (and Quebec) is an absolute paradise compared to the US. People in the US are angry, empty, alienated, cynical, spiritless, and above all, broke and in debt; no surprise, as they are financially and spiritually raped daily by satanic corporations every second of every day. Unless you're in the top few percent of the filthy rich.

This country is going to hell and they are coming for the EU next.

You the light of the world imo.

Be forewarned Euro dudes/dudettes
