All are excellent examples for why it is better here than in Germany. I've traveled to both Germany and France on many occasions. The one thing that always stands out is how challenging it is to find ice. Asking for ice in your drink causes service people to look at you like it must be your first time in their country. If Germany has the most high tech economy in the world, why do I have to find a Marriott hotel to get a glass filled with ice?
It's easy to dump on the US, and we tend to do that a lot here on FR when a democrat is president. In reality, and with all the problems, there is no where else on earth I would rather live than here...at least for now. And I've traveled the world extensively over my lifetime for both work and pleasure.
