How is it actually like living in the USA?

So, here's the thing. I can't stand the USA's foreign policy and the influence they have on the world. I also hate that they try to extend trickle down economics, unbrindled capitalism, and corporate privileges through treaties, diplomacy, and war.

And I really wonder how the citizens of the USA can live with no social security. I mean, break a leg, get fired from your job, get in debt because you cannot pay the sky high bill for the operation you needed, end up in the street. Everything seems like really fragile.

Do you live it differently? How does it feel living there?

They're pumped full of propaganda telling them they're living the american dream, and they believe it

It's ok. There's a lot of cheap crap you can buy, but it's all low quality. We also buy all of our expensive crap on debt and usually sell it before we actually ever own it. Keep your taste for quality and cozy, relaxed lifestyle, Iberia.

That's mostly the defensive pickup truck and chinstrap beard Aggies on Cred Forums. They're mostly 19 with a bottle of Mountain Dew and an Internet connection they shouldn't have. Think Anglo banter, but really serious and butthurt, as opposed to fun and satirical.

Shut up wanna be Sven. WE ARE THE GRATEST COUNTRY IN DA WOOOOOOORRRRLLLLLDDDDDDD.

BACK 2 BACK WW2 BABY.

SUCK IT WANNA BE SVEN

SeePretty right, if you dont live in meme cities you can live real cheap. I got a good job with bennies so I got full retirement, health and dental and many other shit I can chose to pay into.

Id say the only real advantage we have over Eurokeks is how easy it is buy guns. At least now until (((liberals))) say so.

Social security? WAKE THE FUCK UP EARLY AND GO TO WORK

Most of us hate our foreign policy and corporate fuckery too. It's taken a few years but the general diffuse anger of the recession finally coalesced into Trump and Bernie voters. We know we should be much better off than we are, and we have a plan to change things.

The key about understanding the US is that all that is COMPLETELY SEPARATE from pride in our country and thankfulness for what we have, and we will still shit all over any outsider who makes fun of us or attacks us. We don't endorse neocon foreign policy or Obama or corporate raiders just because we wave the flag or brag about the cool things we have or do.

but what if something happens. I don't think social security is simply asking for free stuff. It is having you covered if something happens.

As long as you can handle personal responsibility, it's pretty great.

But guess what, having adequate medical insurance is part of being a responsible person.

its ok as long as you buy into the american ideal of hard work. Unlike you we dont take naps and we wake up around 6 a.m. for professional commuters. We dont eat late we eat early for more time to work. We are some of the hardest workers in the world, and you'll feel that by your parents roasting you when you're 18 if you dont have a job or not in college

Uhm not that bad, I work as a computer programmer. Get paid $126,538 a year, have enough to invest in stock and for retirement. 22years old, and I take very good care of myself. Live in mostly white neighborhood have sex with so many women I've lost track. You can make it in America just don't be a jackass. I was interested in working in Europe but then I saw how much you guys tax in income, I literally pooped myself.

It is kind of difficult to understand, yes. But I do get that you can be proud of many things, the USA has been a great country. It's the last twenty-thirty years that have been pretty fucked.

I hope things get better and more people enjoy what the USA can offer.

What's it like living on an Arab rape baby peninsula? I just can't imagine what life is like there. In fact i can't imagine how anyone else exists aside from myself xddd

>Keep your taste for quality and cozy, relaxed lifestyle, Iberia.
This. Having lived in the US for the almost first thirty years of my life, and in Italy for the next 20, I wholly prefer living here in the Old World.

Are you me user?

We are stronger because not everything is handed to us.
We live knowing that if we make one mistake we could end up on the street.
There is a constant feeling of being in survival mode for a lot of Americans. This fear keeps people working and trying to move up the corporate ladder and to make innovations
>The US is different because most of the working class (non-retail) are conservative while a lot of the rich are liberals (excluding the deep south)
A normal job will include health insurance which usually covers 90% of the medical payments.

Eh, my hobby puts me in situations where I could kill myself every day, so you get used to it.
>break a leg lose a job
>not having a job with benefits
Only works if you're on the bottom tier of rungs, my job (technician at a corvette dealership) wouldn't let me go if I developed a meth addiction. But I'm a lucky fucker, I figured my shit out when I was 19 and worked towards it.

>I can't stand the USA's foreign policy and the influence they have on the world.
Oh well. Too bad so sad. I dont have any more influence over it, just cause i happen to live inside the coutry. They will do what they will do. Get used to it.

>break a leg, get fired from your job, get in debt because you cannot pay the sky high bill for the operation you needed, end up in the street. Everything seems like really fragile.

I simply have a job working online with audio files. I could be crippled, blind and carless and still do it.

Even if they took my home, I have 3 computers and there's a McDonalds with free Wifi nearby. Just find something like I have and you're good to go!

The nap thing is astoundingly exaggerated. At least where I live, Barcelona, people actually taking naps around noon is the exception.

>A normal job will include health insurance which usually covers 90% of the medical payments.
Gross over-simplification. This doctor doesn't accept that plan, this hospital disputes that cancer treatment, that plan won't accept you because you smoked 15 years ago, so...no, it's not like that at all.

>end up in the street

literally the only reason you'd ever care about debt is if you need to finance things, so if worst comes to worse, you say fuck your hospital bills and pay for what actually matters.

As long as you have a decent job, you get adequate health insurance. Don't be a leech because you got a boo-boo.

Most of us are willing to live with the terrible health insurance system because we recognize it basically serves as a soft population control of the undesirables and the poor.

Depends. I live in California where everything is expensive and the job market is flooded.

We have social security. It's very hard to get fired and legally you only need to pay a small amount each month for bills.

About 2 months ago, I returned to the US after living for 6 years in Singapore. No shit, I almost cried watching the sun rise that first day over my 4 acres. I fucking love it. The key is to make enough money so you can have space and never, ever live around sjws, niggers and spics. Find your demographic region of choice and move there. If you can manage that, America is fucking wonderful.

If you got cancer because of smoking for 15 years, good riddance. Just die already and stop wasting resources.

How would you maintain your social safety net if another certain country were to insist you pay your fair share for defense? :^)

What do you do?

Incredibly diverse

Ever state is different

Oh and foreign policy makes me scream at the TV

We are ruining the world with a corrupt oligarchy that does not represent us at all

Sounds like someones been watching a bit too much tv

Don't be a show-offy faggot and actually look at the road when you are driving and you wont get broken bones. If you do then you can sue the every living fuck out of someone if they refuse to pay for your medical bills.

On the job accidents, unless you are a filthy illegal Mexican or Spaniard, will be covered by their employer in damn near any job that has a reasonable chance of accidents occurring. Even not in some cases and that's just for broken bones, you'll still be insured for sickness and things like that if you are working a job that a legal citizen who is worth a damn.

All that being said though, I live in Texas and have no idea how other "states" run themselves or the quality of life anyone from there has. All I can say is that if there is ever a roll-call done for statesmen in concerts, gatherings, etc. that Texans are seemingly always the loudest, happiest, and obnoxious.

Just burn Austin, secede from the U.S., and everything would be perfect.

PROS

* Gov still respects free speech. And that generally includes photographing / filming anything in public, including LEOs.

* 2nd Amendment is sort of respected.

* As long as you're not in a ghetto infrastructure is decent.

CONS

* If you're middle class you are financially fucked.

* Congress is bought and paid for by big health care, big pharma, mass media, colleges, public schools, and any corporation that wants offshoring or H1B immigration.

* All news sources are a joke.

* No job security.

* No health care security.

* Constant stress of trying to make it day to day.

* 2 out of 3 women are "plus size."

* Gov constantly lying about the economy, jobs, unemployment, inflation.

TL;DR

America is a great place to be if you're rich as fuck. Otherwise....

it's probably the best place in the world for consumerism. blows all of europe right out of the water.

I spent 5 years living abroad partly because i hate a lot about this country -- our foreign policy and corruption, etc -- and i basically moved back to USA because of Amazon Prime. 1 or 2 day shipping on literally anything rekts the entire rest of the world

i can't speak for our social security system because i'm not poor. if i was gonna be poor yeh i guess i'd rather be french.

you get cucked on health/medicine though. I buy drugs from abroad and travel to other countries for procedures, but i get advice from the best jew doctors in the world right here in the US of glorious A.

regarding corruption: it's bad here, but everywhere else is worse.

I often want to leave USA for good but there's nowhere that's genuinely better to migrate to. Unless u mean like Bhutan with enlightened people. Typically someone would suggest Canada but they're only better in a "behavioral" sense (vs an "intent" sense) because of universal hegemony. In other words IMO canada can only be morally superior etc BECAUSE of USA being nextdoor.

USA is pretty tight. our intense diversity gets shitted on in Cred Forums but it leads to us having EVERY CUISINE IN THE WORLD on every corner.

And i can get illegal immigrants to do work on my house for cheap prices, buy clothes made by slaves, etc.

For shopping and eating, nowhere else comes close. Also if you speak english natively, it's a great place. you can move to different "countries" just by moving to different cities. Seattle vs New Orleans for ex will have totally diff cultures (and even cuisines and languages!)

>So, here's the thing. I can't stand the USA's foreign policy and the influence they have on the world. I also hate that they try to extend trickle down economics, unbrindled capitalism, and corporate privileges through treaties, diplomacy, and war.
Hey, we agree on that.

>A normal job will include health insurance which usually covers 90% of the medical payments.

All the downsides you list depend on highly improbable events. If I break a leg (I've had much worse trauma surgery), my insurance from work covers it. I've never gotten fired and know few people who have, because most people are competent. Almost nobody needs expensive operations - insurance (including the European-style public safety net) only works because those operations are rare. The things you worry about are akin to worrying that a terrorist is going to blow up your plane or that your neighbor will smoke bath salts and turn into a cannibal. They just don't happen to ordinary people. The vast majority goes through life without needing to worry.

What's living in America like? I have a decent-paying job, I feel secure, I know that I can hop in my car and go to any of a number of interesting cultural events or museums if I wish or go hiking in the mountains, I have hope for the future, and I can say and do what I please.

Also, there are lots of niggers and green frogs here.

America actually has a good kind of diversity. I've been to nearly every state at this point, and while they all feel different- they all still feel like home. Being able to live in enormous cities, quiet mountain towns, seaside villages, southern farmlands, tropical islands or tundra wilderness is pretty incredible. Being able to juggle diverse populations has been one of the greatest challenges this country's faced since its inception, and now that we're waking up and realizing that "I prefer the sea to the mountains" and "I prefer beheading apostates and stoning women to behaving like a civilized human being" are not equivalent, we might actually pull our heads out of our asses and appreciate what a wonderful country this is for once.

agreed. the key to being happy in america is money. if you don't have money then gtfo.

>Food is dirt cheap
>Rent/Land is dirt cheap (outside of cities)
>Liquor is cheaper than water
>People are pretty nice and honest in country
>People are very ambitious and busy in cities
>Non-whites confined to a few slums
>Taxes on fucking everything
>lots of SJWs in cities

Mixed bag.

Yup

People even have different accents and laws

CA would lock a Nevada neighbor in prison if they carried their gun stuff across the border if they caught them

Unironically this

Also Spain is poor as shit. Even fewer jobs than Poortugal. No industry, no nothing.

This too

Being poor in America fucking sucks

>And I really wonder how the citizens of the USA can live with no social security
we have social security though
>unbrindled capitalism
in what way is capitalism in America unbridled?

> How does it feel living there?
fine I guess. I have a pretty cozy life. Going to college for Computer Science, grew up in a nice neighborhood, live in a multi-generational household. America is fine if you aren't a shithead.

This

All Americans hate Obama/Bush's foreign policy

Obamas approval ratings comes from nigs, beaners, feminists, cucks and corrupt pieces of shit/muslims

I want to move to NH. Is this a good idea?

I live in California and I hate every minute of it.

And by beaners I mean illegals and their families/friends

This is the best country in the world. We can do anything we want. The freedom is taken for granted until you leave for a bit but when you come back to America it's like a blessing.

Living in America is alternately beautiful and hideous. And as far as the social safety net goes, it really depends on where you live.

>Obamas approval ratings comes from nigs, beaners, feminists, cucks and corrupt pieces of shit/muslims

So, if you ignore entire chunks of the population that together equal more than half, Obama doesn't have a good approval rating?

Greatest country in the world if you're upper middle class and above.

If not? lol

But half the city shutting down between 2 and 4 is not the exception.

Neither is seeing people out drinking at cafes at all hours of the day.

I like living in Barcelona, and I'm sure it's worse elsewhere in Spain, but, generally speaking the Spanish are lazy by American standards.

There's a lot of fucking off and not giving a shit about getting anything done.

It's cool that everything is super laid back, but it gets tiring...

>I mean, break a leg, get fired from your job, get in debt because you cannot pay the sky high bill for the operation you needed, end up in the street.
Do Europeans actually believe this?

Expat here. It is ok if you're wealthy, but the poor areas are essentially third world tier. Most of the northern states are great places to live, but the south is absolutely disgusting tier, where everything terrible about the USA is made.

>How is it actually like living in the USA?
If we didnt have any nonwhites this country would have literally zero problems

If you're not an illegal immigrant, fucking the girls, a beachbum or making tons of money, CA sucks dick

I'd much rather be a socialist paradise like Spain with 45% youth unemployment

lol u sad

opposingviews.com/i/society/worlds-happiest-countries-take-most-antidepressants

Serious question here, if you get in a intense argument with a stranger e.g. you crashed your car into someones and they flip out, are you ever worried about the other person pulling a gun out?

Would you be worried about getting in a fist fight with them incase they had a gun?

no, you're not supposed to talk to the other driver

only exchange insurance information and call the cops and/or tow truck depending on severity of the crash

feels like plastic.

ITT what you believe if you get all your information from reddit

I don't get in fights you chav maniac, fighting is for poor people

>Spain
>Socialist paradise

choose one and only one.

Spain is hell. It was a great place to live until the 2000s. From then on, there has been an enormous amount of immigration that was accepted and even attracted so labor would be cheaper; we have had conservatives in government dismantling public health and education; and got hid hard by the crisis the USA created.

Also, corruption. The corruption here is unbelievable.

Socialist paradises are Denmark, Sweden, Norway.

He was being sarcastic, Ferdinand. Go rereconquista so you can get a job

Sorry that's not what I meant, I was just trying to think of a realistic situation where someone rages at you.

What I meant is that if you're in a intense argument, are you ever worried about someone pulling a gun out?

You will get in a situation like that eventually no matter how peaceful you are, there's always someone trying to start shit.

I know that paradise was sarcasm, it's just that socialist does not apply here either.

>What I meant is that if you're in a intense argument, are you ever worried about someone pulling a gun out?

answer's gonna sound like a joke but it's not

only if they're black

And supposely what is it that i can't do here and in america i can?

Get a job under 30

This, too. I can kind of understand the criticism when it seems like we're imposing our shitty lifestyles on everyone via back room trade deals and and so forth, but any even light banter by foreigners is met with Russian-tier vitriolic autistic butthurt
>how's that recession tearing you, Americla-
>LMAO Eurocucks will never know shooting an AR from the second story of your McMansion while listening to White Snake

It's like it's kind of a cringy defense mechanism and you can never tell if it's satirical or they're being serious.

Thanks for responding user, always wondered about this

Yeah a little if you're in an area with lots of guns, especially black neighborhoods. It's a good thing because it keeps people in line. You should expect to get killed if you engage someone in combat when they didn't agree to it.

...

It's great if you make over 60k a year and don't live in a meme-city. That could be said of most anywhere, though. It probably
Is the best place to be upper-middle class in the west.

Yeah man it's not like on TV. I've been in, and seen plenty of fights and arguments where people had guns in their cars and/or homes. Never once have I ever seen any one pull out a gun with intent to shoot a human. I live in a fairly white area though.

Get off Cred Forums, grandpa.

I just traveled through Iceland, UK, and the Czech Republic ...

The US has its issues, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Thinking about our national park system gets my dick hard. You talk about our poor social safety net - those I've spoke with In Europe seem to have VERY little confidence in the stability of their social service system, especially with unchecked immigration flooding Europe. Wealth distribution seemed to be shockingly unbalanced in London - a brief tour around the Royal Exchange made that abundantly clear. After seeing the royal jewels in London and how lavishly the British royalty lived during the colonial period in America, I can honestly say I've never been prouder of my ancestors for slaughtering every last red coat that they could. In Iceland, it seemed that the only ones who could afford good quality food/goods were tourists. The Icelanders I spoke with basically shopped at bonus and traded with neighbors, explaining that prices were just as overwhelmingly high for them as they were for tourists (their salaries weren't any higher to offset the high cost of living). The Czech Republic was nice, but it seemed like everyone was out to make a buck via scams (overcharging on restaraunt bills, returning out of circulation bills, pickpockets, etc), chain smokers everywhere, infrastructure worse than the US (National Museum is fucking collapsing right now, AFTER catching fire), and the wooorst fucking service I've had the misfortune of dealing with (look it up online, they treat tourists and locals like shit - apparently it's cultural and it's even taken a significant toll on their economy).

God bless the US, I can't wait to hop of the plane and kiss American soil.

It sounds like you
We're just born into a nice lifestyle. There's no way to tell if
You're a shithead until the training wheels
Are off.

>Is the best place to be upper-middle class in the west.
Since most people, by definition, are below upper middle class, it means that life is rather bad for most of the population in the US.

I honestly think that most people would be better off in Central Europe. We don't know this existential fear of losing everything everyday.

There are Americans that actually think their quality of life on average is better compared to Italy,France, Spain. Those countries might be poorer, but there is a reason why they live so much longer. Americans seem to think the more money you make the happier you will be, no idea why. Protestant work ethic + german genetics I guess. My dad is italian so I have a different view of the US than most. Spent time over there, if you're not rich its way better to live a quiet life in those type countries. Americans are unhealthy, hooked on jew pills, miserable on average.

This is really the long and the short of it. The lower people are among the staunchest supporters of what they think the country is, but they're just stupid.

>tfw California prunie communists are migrating and ruining your state
>you will never live in a truly free and wild Nevada
>you will never set up a homestead and care for yourself and your family the way your forefathers did

Aren't those numbers artificially high due to people not entering the workforce until they're done with school and starting a family, as opposed going to school while working full-time, like here?

Life as a third world fag is hell. I'd go to Europe if I legally could, but I don't even have any contacts there.

At least in the US I can work.

Yeah, yeah but those low people are ignorant and believe what they hear, and they hear they live in the greatest country in the world. My gf is actually am Ossie and said DDR was cozy as fuck if you didn't live in Berlin, so we're always lied to about how life is for other people.

It's nicer than a lot of foreigners seem to think honestly.

Also from my perspective most Americans hate all the same shit about this country that you guys do.

>no state taxes
>pretty much any guns you could ever want
>cheap desert land
>carry guns almost anywhere and gun down anyone who violates the NAP legally
>prostitution legal
Nevada is still wild and free for many decades

If you're white or Asian (actually Asian, not Paki), educated, and don't live in meme cities like San Francisco, L.A. or New York just to be able to say you live in San Francisco, L.A. or New York your cost of living will be low, your income high, and your life comfortable and safe.

If you're poor and live in the city it's literally a third-world country.

Just say allahu ackbar and eurocucks will give you pussy and 30k a year + a house

I don't think we should romanticize Socialism, there's a reason people fled to the West.

But, yeah, I always wonder how Americans still support the bullshit they're living in. How they're told they have to pay insane sums for education, if even far poorer countries can afford to provide it, for example.

What is with this meme that you break a leg and are finished for the rest of your life? Europeans are fucking retarded.

This isn't Cred Forums champ. There are alot of middle-age fucks on this board

t. 38 year old

>said the communist faggot

>let me tell you about your country when I have never lived there

lol

Modern America sucks.

I live in Texas (surrounded by descendants of slaves and descendants of half-spaniards, like yourself)

You're in constant watch-over-shoulder mode if you're white, which is far engrained into white southerner life it's become a part of life, not easily recognized by most white Americans. We don't even see how watchful we are of non-whites.

As for health care, just pay for it yourself. Have some family help you, I guess. Don't get fucking hurt. I dunno. I haven't been to the doctor in 6 or 7 years. I feel fine.

>also voting on Marijuana legalization in November
Let's hope 2017 is an even better year for happenings, folks.

>I really wonder how the citizens of the USA can live with no social security. I mean, break a leg, get fired from your job, get in debt because you cannot pay the sky high bill for the operation you needed, end up in the street. Everything seems like really fragile.

With the exception of war, you pretty much described Chile in a nutshell, not the US

second

There's a strain of defensiveness and willful ignorance that permeates our culture, most noticeable on Cred Forums. We don't actually support this stuff, we just know if we tried the Germanic or Scandinavian models here it would turn into a shitstorm that only serves oligarchies, like with our auto or health insurance attempts. Uni prices are especially bullshit here, though.

If you have money (a lot of money) life is wonderful. I had an awesome job, fantastic apartment in Santa Monica, CA. No nigs live there, the only time you see spics it's when they're nannies, maids or gardeners. The beach was around the corner. Lots of Europeans around, great vibe. Unfortunately I lost my awesome university job (had to resign to allow them to hire someone elese) after a debilitating injury and 3 back surgeries. I was okay financially for about 2 years because I'm not a shitskin and had savings, extra disability insurance, etc. However after my savings were gone things went seriously downhill. Had to get a smaller apartment. NBD. Still in West Los Angeles. Not too many spics or nogs. Then my car gets stolen, Pacific Division LAPD lost my police report. Didn't get paid by my insurance company. Can't live in L. A. Without a car. I lose my online business. Can't afford W. L.A. anymore. Have to move out. Can't find another apartment, put my stuff in storage, move in with my mom to my old neighborhood. It's now filled with spics. Sleeping on the couch. Buy used Volvo from a fucking Armenian. Car lasts a month. Savings seriously btfo. Hate every second of my life. Start smoking heroin cuz I'm gonna kill myself otherwise. Wanna die every waking hour. The end.

fucking great the rest of the world is total shit compared

Except it's not like that. I have over 80 grand saved up at the age of 26 with no college debt and full health coverage and I have no college.

America is amazing if you aren't a loser. It's why everyone but the jealous foreigners in Cred Forums want to be American.

These threads to boost the pathetic non American ego are sad. If you are Russian, American or Chinese you should just kys.

>$80k USD
>not investing

>Modern America sucks.
I live in Alaska. It's awesome.

Fellow Texan. This. We don't really worry about our health until something actually happens. I'm perfect, physically so my only pitfall could be a car accident. I just hope I don't have to limp away after, I'm sure I'm not the only one taking the realist approach to our health situation.

it's alright

what's it like living in a country that's irrelevant?

livin' the dream, baby

By the way, your responses are going to vary MASSIVELY from American to American.

Way of life is way different in New York than it is in Texas. The cultures, demographics, politics, economy, even the weather, will all affect how Americans see way of life here.

Poor white Texan who's a minority in his neighborhood/city? (me) Third world.

Rich white suburban white person from Oregon? Life's great.

The US is better than really poor countries, like Africa, the Middle East.

In a ranking of western nations it's mediocre at best. Being middle class is far better in Germany.

Amrica is so huge. You hear about stuff happening somewhere in the country, but its so far away. I drove to Austin, Tx recently from my house. It took like 12 hours.

I like where I live in general.
Daily life is pretty good and there is a lot of "freedom" that just doesn't exist in Europe.

Sure if you move to Jew York City/Los Mexicos you won't have those freedoms either, but in general all the real Americans live in flyover doing whatever the fuck they want with very few restrictions on them.

Its a kind of life that isn't for everyone, and it requires a toughness that a lot of people don't have. Hence why there are even modern Americans crying for a socialist dictator to control their lives for them.

The bold should live here, the cowardly should not.

Kek, /biz/ roleplayers on Cred Forums. Which penny stock on robinhood are you bagholding bro? Mnkd? Kek.

Of course i invest, I'm white.

fuck that looks comfy as hell

>I also hate that they try to extend trickle down economics, unbrindled capitalism, and corporate privileges through treaties, diplomacy, and war.

That's ironic coming from the country that spent centuries extending their Catholicism, colonial dominance, and mercantile privileges through treaties, diplomacy, and war.

We're just copying Europe, except now you're on the receiving end.

Though, were supposed to be the obnoxious cheerleaders and they're supposed to talk about how backwards USA is and how we need socialism. Go fugure.

I posted another reply talking about it will differ from American to American.

What was it like when the maple trees were young and giants still walked the earth?

>Everything seems like really fragile.

That's retarded. There are bennies everywhere from housing to healthcare. Think about it. Our "poor" people weigh 350lbs.

Secondly, if you make 120K a year doing, let us say, writing code, you can only work a few months out of the year if you wanted. Choose your own adventure.

>How does it feel living there?
Aesthetically, it is horrible -- people have no taste, everyone is ignorant, and fat disgusting fucks are everywhere. Standard of living in contrast is outstanding as long as you live far away from minorities.

TL;DR Murica has the best and the worst of everything.

Ok I'm a fairly decent programmer, better than most people in my program.

How the fuck did you get a job for 120k a year?

Your country has 23% unemployment and you are telling Americans how bad they have it.

You are the only first world country without basic safety net. You can legally starve in the US. That's the exception, not the rule, in the developed world.

The 60% white and "dumb fat american" aren't just sterotypes.
Sure cost of living is super low and you have the bill of rights, but you're surrounded by brown retards unless you're rich.

If Europe had free speech I would probably move back (dual citizen).

America is by far the best. Don't be poor.

Social Security/safety net beyond family is a meme. Our existence is uncertain and precarious at best no matter which country we reside in. Which is why we work hard, save resources, invest in family and never trust a bunch of lying thieving politicians with our healthcare or security.
Once a people become too comfortable and allow their government to secure their collective safety and existence they become enslaved.
The U.S. has very large and glaring problems but we still have the capacity to fix these problems precisely because we do not have this state run safety net.
Medical bills can absolutely financially ruin a person but guess what? No one is born with a right to healthcare. 4 years ago I cut off a finger at work. Rather than pay to have it reattached then pay for the physical therapy i left that fucking thing lying there, took the rest of the day off then got up the next morning and finished my job.
That is America. Suck it up and do your fucking job.

the cucks are also voting on gun control

vote No to question 1 my friend

>hurrr my rankings based on inaccurate population census means that my life is better
pathetic logic Hanz.
Maybe you like how you live, but that doesn't mean everyone likes it.
Some might object to a society that has such limited freedom of speech and high tax burden, just saying.

Besides, now that you have brown people in your country your national ranking is going to be brought down by a lot over the next few decades, just wait and see. Also your social programs will become drained, your economy will need to change shape to survive, and if Donald Trump is elected you will likely have to start paying for a real military instead of passing the bill of on America to do it for you, which will once again change your economy/social system.

If you are good at ANYTHING or if you can find a niche to make decent money, America is the best place in the world. It's not as easy anymore to move classes because the government and unions are so much more powerful, but it's still easier than every other country. The whole "American dream" is real (although slowly dying). If you work really hard and are smart, you will be successful 100% of the time. You may get unlucky sometimes, but the "why do we fall?" attitude is about as American as it gets.

Also, Americans can be some of the most kind and generous people you'll ever meet. Things are only fragile if you're a lazy piece of shit like 99% of Spain is.

The only good thing about the US is the white people.

Nonwhite areas are not American areas.

America today is basically Gondor in Lord of The Rings, every day we lose more territory to orcs, goblins, trolls, southrons, and easterlings.

Our major cities are all in shambles, Jews basically direct our foreign policy by tugging purse strings and manipulating the public eye with media.

America is is occupied and enthralled, the actions of the last 80 years are not American actions, they're International Finance actions, but we are equally as responsible because we let ourselves be enslaved so easily, and for that I cannot even ask for forgiveness.

>How the fuck did you get a job for 120k a year?

Bureau of Labor Statistics says *average* pay for a software engineer is 100K. If you have over 5yr experience and aren't clearing that, then you're getting hosed.

>aren't just sterotypes
Sure, but they're exaggerated. Not massively, but you'd think that everyone that isn't fit is a landwhale.
>you're surrounded by brown retards unless you're rich.
Or live out in the more rural areas. If you have neighbors, odds are very likely they're white.

It's a constant fight with retards to keep our God-given rights.

Fucking statuses just want more laws...and they can't enforce them.

>taxes

says the leaf

Stop pls

>You can legally starve in the US.

Nope. The poor eat like kings with EBT, get cheap housing thru section 8, get free health care via Medicaid -- you guys watch way too much TV

America is only good if you are making at least 100k a year. Even then, 100k a year isn't really enough to buy a house anymore, depending on where you live. Not everyone can be a programmer or a doctor either. I really don't know what these average people do to make money, people that make the wheels of society turn - garbage men, customer service, mechanics, construction, etc. I've looked online and they're really not making that much money, most of it is exaggerated here on Cred Forums

There are a lot of dumb, apathetic people here. And I really mean that. I've tried to have more in-depth conversations with people about things that people in other less vapid countries would talk about, and the general response is something like "Yeah man, I just don't really care, it's whatever". Nothing really matters to people here, people have no convictions about anything and that's really upsetting. Especially for the youth this is true.

Ok but how did you get the job? Did someone hook you up? Did you have any Oracle certs or something? Did you launch any software/applications by yourself? Or did you just have on your resume "BS in Computer Science" and you got hired for 100k a year?

That's what I'm trying to figure out

>watching tv

only in America

there is social security though. and my healthcare is free. I also get EVERYTHING delivered to my door and theres food everywhere. Also, there are a lot of whores that sleep around if you have a nice car.

Even your best cities and states are filled with homeless. It's a disgrace and can happen even to STEM graduates.

Sounds like you are just a fuck up. Sorry to hear about your embarrassing abject failure. God bless America!

>Swede has cuckold porn saved

As usual, I suppose.

If you aren't a fucking moron living in a capitalist country isn't so bad. There is nothing wrong with the US foreign policy, we intervene when we feel necessary because the retard islamofags can't handle anything themselves.

Is this what the tolerance police tell you about America?

wtf are you talking about?

the meme on Cred Forums for Mericans is that everyone can work in STEM

Is it also a disgrace that women in America can walk around showing their ankles and commit other 'haram' (or whatever you people call it) practices?

Glorious yet depressing

How does it feel that we cucked you out of the last of your empire, Dago?

>Ok but how did you get the job?

I taught myself a bunch of skills back when I was in NEET mode, and then knew someone who knew someone. Really worked hard, and beefed up my knowledge as went. I was also willing to work for low pay at first just to get my foot in the door.

When you get in arguments like that, are you worried someone is just going to beat you to death? If you're worried about strangers attacking you for petty shit then you have problems that getting rid of guns won't solve. Ignoring niggers, getting into fights in public is a pretty rare occurrence here and in my experience its mostly drunk poor people that have an issue with it.

Homeless are extremely rare in cities in my area. If you go to the shitty part of Green Bay, you might see them, but that's it.

It's the liberal-run shitholes like Madison and Milwaukee that have noticeable amounts.

Come visit glorious tax free new Hampshire

I read all of it, user. We are lost.

>he assumes everyone has cuck porn

nah m8, get your mind out of the gutter

Mericans think they live in the best country on earth because they are still suffering from that 1940-50s "MUH RED WHITE N BLUE STAR SPANGLED BANNER" propaganda

There's quite a few countries that are better than America. America has some very nice areas, no argument there, but 99% of the population cannot afford to live there.

American shills also have this delusion about anyone who isn't a multimillionaire and can live in a cushy resort town should just "suck it up pussy!", they are extremely retardedly arrogant.

We also have some of the ugliest women of any first world country. Probably only second to the UK in that regard.

The only thing better about America is its freedom of speech and gun laws, but even that is fading quickly.

But you just posted it.

> You think you will be rich if you work hard.

Good goy.

I live a very comfortable lifestyle and own my own home, but I only spend

Spaniards aren't lazy, they're just not a bunch of cucks that think working your life away is worth it so your jew boss can send his 3 kids off to college. Unless you own the company, why work hard?

>How does it feel living there?
Its like living anywhere.
You wake up go to work.
Try to do good.
And live a good life.
Or wake up.
Dont go to work.
Try to do good.
And get government handouts.
This might come as a shock.
But life is the same everywhere.
If your not in a muslim country.
Or a completly PC culture.
At least in the U.S. you can have guns and the laws back up your peronal freedoms.

A cropped frame, I don't actually have any porn or nude cuck porn, why the fuck would I save porn that's just sad

everyone is retarded. most people around me are idiots

>And I really wonder how the citizens of the USA can live with no social security.

Rugged individualism.

>I mean, break a leg,

If you are employed you likely have health insurance

>get fired from your job

We have unemployment insurance


>get in debt because you cannot pay the sky high bill for the operation you needed,

If you don't have insurance and If you can't pay your medical bills, you can discharge them in bankruptcy, or just tell the bill collectors to fuck off and deal with shit credit

>end up in the street. Everything seems like really fragile.

Boo hoo, the thought of not having your government issued blankie must really terrify you.

>Do you live it differently?

Yes

>How does it feel living there?

America is fucking awesome.

Everything is inexpensive, you get to keep most of your money, you can do what you want.

The only people who end up on the streets are lazy drug addicted shitskins, so I can understand your fear, spainbro.

come to arizona and find out

What I really wonder is what it's like to live in Germany. I've gone there on vacation, but I haven't lived there.

See, when I was in school, I had this German roommate who seemed confounded by ordinary things and he seemed to think that everything was different in America or something.

Like for example, on move-in day, he couldn't open the door. He put the key in and you can see and hear the tumbler giving a little, but he thought he had been given the wrong key. And I'm just like, dude, just push the door in a little bit while you're turning the key and it should open. How could you not have experienced this before?

And he was so amazed that we had keycards that you don't have to take out of your wallet to scan your way in. Do they not have that shit in Germany or something?

oshit venezuela how are things going? has it gotten any better in the last few months

it's like living in a country where people are at work during daytime hours, Pablo.

Jealous Spaniard. Enjoy sucking on the teet of your EU nanny.

Most americans have emotional problems. they are emotionally disconnected from... i don't even know what. their inner selves? it's like walking through a sea of zombies. if you don't project a fake face for the culture, everyone turns on you. creepy fucking retards most americans are.

Merica is the best gosh darn country on this PLANET. Aint no none other country in the WORLD got the FREEDOMS like we got here. I own a GUN and a 2001 pickup tryuck. We work 80 hours a week because we are BETTER and aint nothin like a good days WORK seven times a week. Tell me what other country on this planet has the things that make my life great like WALMART, TARGET, AUTOZONE, and BESTBUY. I even got me one of them skinny model girls with the BIGGEST titties you ever seen - yessir indeed she only weighs about a buck-60. If you dont like AMERICA then youre just a big PUSSY.

kek

I want to move to Europe.

America is too materialistic for me and everyone is way too brainwashed about our situation as other posters have mentioned.

I was going to become a lawyer but now that we have an over-saturated market and the fact that law school costs 300,000 dollars minimum it's pretty hopeless. So now i'm a NEET for now.

It's pretty much bullshit because other western countries have jobs for lawyers and it takes less time and money. So I'm either gonna move there or somehow go to graduate school in England or something.

inb4 "unless you're a programmer/engineer/doctor YOU'RE DUMB!!!!"

So basically 95% of the country is dumb. Not my fault my career got taken away.

It's only good living in America when you are a naïve child. As an adult, it's a nonstop flight and struggle especially if you're a White male. You will never get any job or promotion as a White male, pt handouts either. There is no reason to live in America unless you're an illegal immigrant with free EBT and monthly warfare checks.

I own a burial plot in America, but I don't see myself living my whole life here anymore. Nothing important to me is important to America or Americans. Everyone here is a lying, two-faced cheater. America today is a total shithole that's unsafe to visit under any circumstances.

#
This.
America is great if you make more than 120gs. America is great if youre smart and willing to put in the years starting your own business or climbing the corporate ladder. America isnt great for plebs and the average Joe, who are mereky a cog in a well oiled machine. The Amerocan working class dont have much of a political voice when compared to the rich.


Although this cut throat elitist culture is the reason America is an innovation powerhouse and attracts millions of smart people from other countries. My cousin comes from a rich family who made their fortune on breeding cattle, and he recently went to the US for business. He told me the rich in the US are treated like gods and rockstars, whilst in Australia, theyre seen as merely tax avoiders.

Isn't the unemployment rate in Spain like 94%?

You don't become homeless from a broken leg dumb fuck...either you have a good job with insurance or you suck it up and pay for your own insurance...either way it doesn't cost that much for the medical expenses if you have insurance. That said the extremely high medical costs are caused by socialism not capitalism. Socialism eliminates competition while capitalism encourages competition and therefore a fair price.

And that's why the insurance companies are so in favor of competition... because they want to lower costs for you... yeah....

To be fair - what you say IS sometimes true, but find an industry with massive barriers to entry... not so much.

Spainbro, I just spent the summer in your country, yours is very much like the 1990s or earlier in ours. I got the feeling where I was that the older generation was really making themselves noticed politically and socially. But in all honesty, it is very isolating. People dont share the same common space, it's so big and populated that there is a pretty wide mix of people from everywhere not just your town when you visit the local supermarket. Also, people in spain who have their kitchy traditions actually follow them. In america, all it takes to celebrate 4th of july is buying 4th of july napkins. people from asturias actually like fabada and cider and thats why its popular there. the US is pretty sketchy. i always have a chin over my shoulder at night even in the backcountry. In Spain I felt very safe always on ancient beaches and villages.

There is a reason why your shit country has had 20%+ unemployment for a decade now.

It's because of entitled fuck heads like you.

Ours has a 29% unemployment rate you idiot.

94 million unemployed out of 324 million.

We've had this for at least 8 years.

It's alright. Even being poor here is better than being middle class in most countries. I have no real complaints except that it's the birthplace of sjw

weird as fucking shit

thank god we live in a great country where our children and our elderly don't have to work.

data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

Currently it's 5% dumbass: data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

Capitalism encourages competition until there is either a monopoly or an organised rigging of the competition.

It makes sense dude. The company tries to maximise benefits and minimise expenses. Profits depend on it. There is a moment in which what makes sense is making sure threre is no competition so you can continue to make profits. And you are strong enough to do it.

The south is great actually. Friendly people, good food, more nature, an appreciation of family and community. There's more fat people though which is a shame. I'm a born northerner but after living in the south for over a decade it really rubs off on you.

this, american people are indeed the most retarded ignorants that believe they have the best system

Pros:
- Cheap everything
- Strong economy
- Patriotism
- Convenience
- Great universities
- Creative media
- Natural parks, natural beauty in general
- Diversity of geography
- Starting a business is incredibly easy and anyone can strike it rich if they know what they are doing
- Most people think they are living in the best place in the world and tend to be more optimistic than other countries

Cons:
- Healthcare system is very shitty or nonexistent if you are poor
- Everything is a competition. Everything.
- SJW culture rampant here
- People don't understand basic nutrition because they are blasted with subversive food commercials all day
- Journalism is a joke
- Feeling helpless to change things because the government is so clearly corrupt yet unimaginably wealthy

Overall I think America will fix its problems in time. We invest enough in technology to reasonably believe that can get us to the singularity in the near future. Seems our politicians think the same and that's why they don't give a fuck

Everyone, you really really made this thread interesting.

I got the impression living in the USA is extremely different based on your income - being rich or poor it is very different everywhere, of course, but there being poor is really terrible.

I still remained unconvinced it is better to hire private, for profit health insurances, as they are, well, for profit. I have also heard too many stories about people paying their insurances and then being uncovered because of some obscure clause.

In any case, I am saving the whole post. It is very very interesting. Thank you, really.

If you like wilderness life, America has some awesome options.

Really so 5% is 94 million??
cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/record-94708000-americans-not-labor-force-participation-rate-drops

94 million divided by 324 million does not equal 5%

Nice Obama statistics.

The healthcare industry is one of the most corrupt bullshit industries in the world.

Stop using anything that isn't organic, regulate your stress levels and exercise and you should never have to go to the hospital. If you get hurt by someone else, use your savings.

Just try to avoid the medical industry as much as possible.

Let me guess, you work in California

That's a good thing

We have tons of useless shitskins that need to starve

There's plenty of social security, but a portion of it requires you to pay regularly for coverage. Unless you are outlandishly poor, it is not expensive, and most Union jobs come with it for free.

The shit about breaking your leg and dying in the street is simply a lie repeated by liberals and foreigners to make the virtually nonexistent problem seem like a public crisis. It isn't.

It is not a good country to be a NEET in, but it is a great county to be employed well in. I do structural welding for a living. Pure blue collar stuff, I'm completely in the clear for any crisis.

Gun control in Nevada?!?

>Gondor
Yeah the race war is about to invade white neighborhoods. The liberal cucks in Osgilioth are going to get slaughtered.

Our foreign policy is absolute evil jewry and destruction for profits/helping Israel who does nothing for us

This isn't counting the people who have been discouraged from work and have dropped out from the labor force

I hate Spain pretty hardcore, tbqh. We deserve everything that happens to this country.

Most homeless are either mentally ill or criminals. If you end up on that situation there are tons of programs to get you back on your feet.
It is also illegal for hospitals to turn people away even if they cannot pay.
This is to say nothing of the massive food drives. Churches literally throw piles of donated food away because the homeless can't eat enough of it.

This triggers me because there are more fat people, white or brown, in the United States than actually starving people and those are the ones who deserve to go without food for a while.

Guns, food, housing, and a lot of land that you can do whatever the fuck you want on it. Yeah, we have niggers, but if they get on your property you can legally shoot them. Overall, it feels good. Your home is your domain and there are tons of places that are safe and secure. Just stay away from big cities. Cesspools, all of them.

People out of the labor force are unemployed

Obama just doesn't consider them unemployed for statistics

>work your entire life
>social security at age 65 people work til 70 now
>only get a few hundred bucks

You spend your money on absolutely everything and if you don't have the money for necessities you go without. That's why the quality of life is such shit. But we are allowed to say the things we want without going to jail.

THE END.

Liberals change definitions to fit their agenda

First and foremost, Spain is hell and is going to shit faster than most people in the world realize. There is no defending Spain.

BUT.

You will not starve, and your illnesses will be taken care of.

Yeah unfortunately we pay them not to work
Fucking let em die

>using the medical industry

Only Cucks rely on that shit. Real men strengthen their immune systems and don't get killed.

awesome

youtube.com/watch?v=zMGZtkMS3sQ

We have food stamps here. Nobody is starving unless they are degenerate niggers selling food stamps for drug money.

It's not my job to take care of some shitty niglet when his Momma blows all their gubmint money on Newports and crack.

>lot of dumb, apathetic people...."yeah man, I just don't really care, it's whatever"

this is so true for a lot of places. I blame the glorification of weed and nigger culture

>Life's so dangerous for Americans

Um no there's Medicaid which pays for your doctor if you're too poor to buy medical insurance, state disability insurance if you get injured and can't work, private long-term disability care insurance you can buy for $5 a day (for when state disability insurance runs out if you think ahead enough to protect yourself beforehand), and social security if you're truly disabled.

You really think any smart American ends up on the street over a broken leg? Fuck outta here.

You have to fuck up pretty badly to end up on the Street in America, but I suppose we cotukd make our society idiot proof like Europe is, but I have a question for you: why the fuck would we want to do that?

America was great. What we need to do is get back to personal responsibility and off the govt. tit. Living here is good. I'm considered in poverty. Make about 25K a year. I still have cable, internet, phone etc. What I hate about America and I'm not sure if it's better anywhere else. Seems a lot of people here think they are the center of the universe and show.no concern for.other.convenience. I wouldn't live anywhere else.though.

Texas, and maybe Georgia, are the best places to live. Texas is cheap and has a working mixed culture of Cowboys, vaqueros, Tejanos, and chinos unlike California's fuckfest. Foods great, just avoid nigger and illegal areas. Legal spics, like the majority of the RGV, and native Texans say "fu" to the fed a lot.

Bullshit. I was disabled for over a year from a work accident and I couldn't get ANY welfare despite the fact that I was starving, I'm an actual citizen, and have a full job history.

Oh well I guess it was inevitable that I learn that the only true welfare is fucking over other people in order to steal their losses. The American dream!

CA has tons of hot sluts, some ridiculous money making opportunities and amazing weather/activities though.

It's just that yeah, cities are filled with leftist pieces of shit and our gun laws are cucked. Just be rich/attractive, don't care about the future, get a semi-auto rifle before january first and stay away from the big cities.

My broken arms put me on the street where I heard all sorts of bullshit like this. No, social security is not given to the young people who are disabled. Nothing is given to us unless we fit a certain demographic. If only I was black or female this would all be so much easier, I guess that's the price of Privilege.

You have to be a whore, a nig, a muslim or an illegal immigrant

For the reasons you mentioned in your post, we'll be a third world standard of living within thirty years. Guaranteed.

Poor people don't starve in the US for the most part. They don't eat well on average but they eat.

>n-n-not REAL Americans!!

You might have been in the wrong state. California had disability insurance if you work.

Nice fucking meme.

It's still a serious issue in much of the country.

everything is racist and minorities are good for the economy, also you have to give up your job so that minorities can have a job too, but we need minorities, so its OK if you are homeless.. after all you deserve it because you're a fucking white male.

It doesn't matter how much you struggled your way through school or threw away your youth to get your degree, how many hundreds of thousands of dollars you put yourself into debt to get where you are.
The minority that got accepted to a better school just because they were darker than you, the same minority that isn't in debt because of the black/islander only scholar ships completely paid for their degree.. is more valuable to the country than you are. The country your ancestors built.

You try to apply for another position, but because you were born with a cock, you must have been privileged. They are only hiring females right now.
The very females, who from the first day of both of your education benefited from the fucked up curriculum, common core, where they teach you dumbed down emotionally based ways of thinking. They excel in that, and when they don't they get pushed though with the blacks.
When they got to college, the got special placements in classes, special scholarships, special exceptions. They lied, cheated and flirted their way though school, usually only passing stem classes because of some white knights help. She finally made it to the end, got a special place in the graduation because "women in stem" looks soo good for a diverse university.
As you walk out of the interview having been turned down for being male, you see her walk past you. You find out later that she got the job because of the quotas.

You decide to go to a bar to try to relax, and there she is celebrating her "success" with the "girls get free drinks" night. As you swallow you last few dollars.

Your wife leaves you a week later because she doesnt have that shopping money anymore. during the divorce trials

>le bootstraps meme

>USA
>socialist

What I can't understand is how Spain is still a functioning country.

>being poor here is better than middle class in most countries
You haven't seen most poor areas of this country.

During the divorce trials she gets awarded sole custody of your children, you might be allowed to watch them on the weekend sometime but its really up to her because nobody will hold her accountable.. mother knows best after all!
She also gets awarded 10 years alimony, half of your future pay checks will automatically go to her, and to help raise your, sorry HER kids, you also have to pay child support. The house is sold and the profits split 70 30 (because she has to support the kids), but the first round of alimony and child support will be automatically deducted from your half part of the house money.
Guess you'll be sleeping in your car for a while.

its been a few months and you still don't have a place to stay. You ran out of gas weeks ago and the city is getting ready to impound your car. Your at the end of your rope, literally. You see no way out of this, because there is no way out of it.
You've had all you can deal with, more than anyone should deal with. You decide to end it.

At your funeral, everyone talks about what a piece of shit you are, to leave your children without a father.
You kids are raised calling another guy "dad", they are told that you chose to abandon them.


Thats what life in america is like.

>there tons of programs to help people get back on their feet
>people believe this

No family? Then die you selfish leech

Not an argument.

The United States is not a country you fucking ignorant savage. It's got 30-50 unique cultural and geographical areas equivalent to your European countries, we just happen to all speak English and watch movies from California.

Here in Washington we are basically like the Nordic countries except that we have a much stronger gun/self defense culture and our tech sector doesn't suck dick and we have bad ass wilderness instead of just frigid forest.

Living here feels fine because I went to a world class University with close ties to the tech sector in Seattle for cheap, I own my home, I have a beautiful loving wife, my medical expenses are paid out of a health spending account that I keep topped up, and I have enough insurance to cover any emergency.

I do it by not being a financial retard. My healthcare is included in the benefits package from my job. Any full time job must provide benefits. Out of the available options I chose the high deductible plan with an HSA (with this option the company puts the difference between this plan and the nicer plan in the HSA) since I am in shape and very healthy. I haven't paid a dime out of pocket for healthcare in a long time, I just use what is in the HSA to pay for GP visits and any medicine I might need. If I have a serious problem like a surgery I pay up to the first $5k of the cost of the procedure which sucks but I could deal with it. That is, if the HSA was empty, I have over $5k in there so it would still cost me nothing. Since I only rarely use money from it by the time I am an old fart I will have a shitload of cash sitting in that HSA to cover my old fart health expenses. That is, assuming we don't elect a commie fuck like bernie sanders and end up nationalizing everyone's assets like venezuela. But at that point everyone is fucked anyway whether they saved or not.

Live in a medium sized city instead of a Judge Dredd clusterfuck ghetto and you'll be A-Okay and happy. There is no reason why retards go to live in San Francisco on a barista's salary and feel butt blasted and sad because they couldn't make ends meet.

You'll actually be wealthy, have significant LAND, and access to wildlife and self sufficiency in rural USA. GOOD, pristine land is extremely cheap compared to the rest of the world.

>126,538

Man I wish I made that much, I'm a developer up in Kirkland (as in costco) and I only make 93k/y.

>Bernie
>Venezuela
wat

lol, the only nordic country youre like is sweden.

I'm honestly not sure if you're just shit posting or if you are actually retarded.

Bernie Sanders is a filthy commie. Venezuela is a country that was very recently ruined by filthy commies. If we keep headed in the direction we are currently, soon we are likely to become a gigantic Venezuela.

what? i thought you had to spend the HSA every year and couldn't let it accumulate?

My insurance through work does. Maybe you should get a better job.

What do you do user? 93K is still amazing.

>How does it feel living there?
feels good man

Well. To be fair, Washington's public infrastructure isn't nearly as well funded because of the Federal leech on our back.

But if you mean to imply that WA is more cucked than Norway or Finland you can lick, lick, lick my balls brother.

Being a libcuck is just a Seattle meme, every county but King would be red if we could just get rid of the fucking blue collar labor, fucking boeing ass pieces of shit with their insane union thugs.

Nope, you're thinking of HRAs. HSA is like a 401(k) for your future vicodin prescription.

Same as him, I'm an educated Software Developer.

I completely understand why they are against tax funded Uni and welfare (I'm against it too), but I'll never understand why they are so anti tax funded healthcare. Do they not realize shits cheaper when you buy it in bulk for starters.

Here we have "ACC" which basically means taxes cover all costs oif you injure yourself through an accident, but not shit like cancer from smoking or diabetes from being a fatass. It's a fantastic system and I can't imagine life without it.

With Americans it always seems all or nothing, like the only options are full capitalism or full communism. I hate socialism/communism but capitalism with some sensible socialist policies patched on really seems to be s winner

THIS and also FUCK i594 and jay inslee.
oh and FUCK 405. someone please nuke that fucking "freeway" so we can build an ACKCHUALL freeway

That isn't our experience in the corporate world at all.

Corporate health insurance is through the roof and since the infrastructure is already in place here there is no reason to expect it to be any better if the government stepped in.

That and, the US is one of the world's centers for development and experimental treatment.

I totally understand why some countries do great with free healthcare, but 1. doing it like Canada where you are not allowed to also purchase extra care UK style is awful, and 2. the US would be doing fucking great if we had a Singapore system with a ban on low deductible insurance and forced wage garnishing plus a basic guaranteed medical spending budget and means tested free high deductible insurance.

Foods better than spain
Landscape is better than spain
Job is better than in spain
Costs are better than in spain
Service is better than in spain
People are friendlier than in spain
Most infrastructure is better than in spain
More options for everything than in spain
Lower small level crime than in spain

In USA, if you study in high school and get a B average or more, you can get a scholarship to the state university. If you study there, you can get a degree in something meaningful and graduate to a job, or you can move in with 6 other people and split costs. We have medicaid for poor people, and social security for old people who didn't save for retirement. After Obamacare, everyone has insurance or they pay a penalty. If the insurance costs too much they go on medicaid. That's all there is to it. This meme that people are ruined by healthcare costs needs to die. That was years ago. Life is better than in spain I promise you.

You're in the same boat as oregon, flooded with retarded liberals, numales, and lesbians, most of which hate guns.
Also idk what tech you were talking about, microshaft probably isnt going to be around much longer.

The problem is that the eastside is a glorified suburb that got a huge injection of Microsoft money.

There's too much corporate headquarters, asian food and mcdonalds sprawl to actually fit any freeway.

>Trickle down
>not get off your ass and get to work

also forgot to mention that my health coverage is included for free with my job, and that my take home this year will be ~$110k

fucking HATE 405 so frustrating. traffic 24/7

>being this ignorant
1. Amazon
2. Hundreds of other tech corporations.
3. Microsoft may or may not die out, but if it did, it would just spawn dozens more startups, and provide badly needed workers for the other smaller companies who are badly hurting for talent.
4. Google and Facebook both have sizable offices in WA.

kek.

I'm fine because I only have to go from Lynnwood to totem lake.

Lynnwood fuck yeah.

Hey any Cred Forumsacks want to meet up at big E's for wing Wednesday sometime?

A shame, living in first world but getting treated like a 3rd world-er when it comes to healthcare
underrated post, also add pharma adds to the cons.

>stop wasting resources!
Said the autistic NEET who lives with his parents and spends 14 hours a day on a japanese website specializing in anime and hentai. I swear you faggots like to talk tough "muh day of the rope" bullshit but the vast majority of you would be the first to go if ever such an event occurred. Normal, productive people do not come here and they definitely don't use this board. Even your hero, sam hyde, only uses reddit and refuses to browse any chan, those are his words btw.

Google has tripped themselves. Alot of people are pissed off with them and are seeking to switch away, facebook inevitably will die too.

Still, Amazon owns at least an 8th of proper Downtown (from South Lake Union to belltown)

Can confirm, have lived in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Montana, and Illinois; they are all very different. I think Washington is my favorite so far, the countryside and small towns are cozy as fuck, but stay away from the cities.

23 here in l.a. as dishwasher on that 12-13k a year after tax

maybe. how big is your cock? pics?

Literally average, and sorry only my wife gets to see it.

>not sure if out of town shitposter or actual local gay.

Thats not a good thing.

i'm joking. i also has a grill and kids and yes i am a bellevuefag

>be in usa
>love constitution

>general economic parasitism
>service(servant) economy growing around the growing oligarchy
>ree

still based af culture... at least it was. The PR industry has done a lot to make people generally fucking clueless cheerleaders in the last century.

I can't complain, not a leaf.

Why did you denote that it's nude cuck porn, and not just cuck porn.

Cuck porn is cuck porn Sven, regardless if it's nude or not.

>Implying that leaves aren't better than all but a few of the States.

I mean sure, I'm a red blooded American, of course I think Washington and Texas are better than Canuckistan, but be realistic.

>but I'll never understand why they are so anti tax funded healthcare.
Because healthcare would be cheaper if the government was involved. It was be even cheaper if health insurance was made illegal.
Plastic surgery for example, a tit job costs like $3000 and the procedures and technology advance much faster than other medical areas. Some simple procedures that are much simpler than that $3k tit job cost 10s of thousands of dollars more because of the involvement of the government and insurance, and isn't as advanced as it could be.

>muh megacorps
Oh well, at least this megacorps delivers things in two hours.

It would be disastrous to ban all insurance.

You just need to ban all low deductible insurance and especially all inclusive plans where you are always just paying a copay.

Then you can automatically force people to pay into their HSA so that being a leech is impossible, and give the very poor means tested catastrophic insurance and basic guaranteed medicine only income... just enough so that it costs less overall because they seek preventative care, not enough that it's anything more than a cost cutting measure.

It was fairly great until 911 and then worse when king nigger came along.

Live in a warehouse state so they have to charge me tax, even though everything I buy is shipped from the other side of the country and takes a half a week to get here with primes 2 day shipping.
I still like amazon though, but its only a matter of time until they cross over to being an evil internet walmart.

Its super fun. Cali about to go full libertarian with weed and Im not gonna need pic related anymore

I was homeless and lived behind a Walmart dumpster for a month rationing nutrigrain bars into slices and I drank tap water from mc donalds sinks.

USA sucks! Norway is far better!

AMA

Face it. The Fjordic states of the US and Canada have surpassed the original.

Still people prefer to live and work in the USA than fucking Spain.
Activates the synapses huh

It's like living in a supersized version of the uk with more manufacturing and IT jobs plus cheap as shit land/housing in a lot of places barring shit like nyc, la, and san fran. Also, we have guns.

>i cant stand usa's influence over the world.

Eurotrash opinion discarded.

Although its probably a russian proxy. Not that there's a difference. European and russian nationalist are both putin shills just one realizes it and the other doesnt.

Oh yeah? What makes you think exactly that?

Also we have social security, welfare, nearly free government housing, etc etc. How do you think the niggers can leech off of the government for their entire lives without working? The only people that live on the street are drug addicts and the mentally ill that are too stupid to stumble into a homeless shelter and/or food bank.

US foreign policy = Israel's foreign policy.

Its astonishing how many people fail to recognize this.

youtube.com/watch?v=fsXTP4aK298

thats retarded.

>And I really wonder how the citizens of the USA can live with no social security.

The majority of our federal budget goes toward health care and social security. Just an interesting fact.

Personally, the saddest part of living in America is how distant everything and everybody is. I loved living in Japan and being within walking distance of shops and a bus ride from downtown. It's not a lack of land, the Japanese just love being close to each other. In America I feel like I am always traveling in a sealed vehicle, separated from my city and neighbors.

You really have no idea what "hustling" is, do you?

The mini-WA thread in here was nice, but I'm disappointing by my inability to hijack this into a secession/breakup thread or discuss Singapore style Healthcare Reform.

I go to Europe often for work. The things I dislike about it out there compared to here are:

1) Price of stuff is much higher there
2) Driving is more of a chore than it is here
3) Finding parking in cities is a pain in the ass out there.

There is just a certain convenience I feel when I am out here that I don't feel in European countries.

We have other fjords than that tourist trap.

Do I really have to explain the JQ to you on Cred Forums?

Pornography
Neocons
Neolibs

How fucking uninformed can you be?

Top kek. Thay shit doesn't happen to anyone not willingly living on the street. We spend more on social programs annually than most nation's annual gdp. You are a clueless moron.

Yeah NH is good, Maine too. Vermont very liberal.

I don't believe you.

Most literally don't want to fucking work or are incapable of holding a job because they are psychotic piles of shit or drug addicts. And if they are the former, they can literally get a free check from the government. Most don't because they are morons. Many homeless shelters will even help you get a job. If you really want to redpill yourself on the homeless, try asking them why they don't live in the shelter down the street. They will all tell you it's because they can't drink there or pass a drug screen or some shit.
