If anyone tells you how difficult Universal Health Care is to do, remind them that only 35/36 of the largest economies can make it work.

Should be this way everywhere, so no one's surprised by the full cost. I know what is taxable and how much tax where I live, but not where I travel.

The US never outgrew the original puritans.

That is soo behind...

SO sensible and completely logical. Also, meters, kilometers, degrees Celcius. It is just plain stupid that the US clings to imperial when nearly all the rest of the world is on metric!

What is weird is naming a room without a bath, a bathroom. That's not standard in Europe.

Safe public transportation!

Tips in the USA have gotten way out of hand. Even if you are picking up carry out, many places still expect you to tip.

Portland, Oregon, Boston Massachusetts, New York City. There are a few who have it figured out. The rest of the country is living in the dark ages if Mid 20th century car centered life.

I'm pretty sure anyone taking an ambulance ride has at least one thing to be worried about

We can send money from our banks via Zelle.

Cashiers in the US stand all day? I had no idea. What do the trade unions have to say about this?

Not everywhere.

Okay - it should say "Up to" etc. - the timeframe differs greatly between the regions, thee workplaces, the disablement status, the age, the experience, the time of your employment....

The issue isn’t the US’s military budget, although this is higher than is typical in Europe. The issue is that US government is hamstrung by ‘conservatives’ who are simply misogynists who won’t recognise that maternity leave is hugely beneficial for mother and child, and that supporting mothers results in better long-term economic outcomes.

I live in Portland, Oregon and haven't driven a car in almost 20 years. I have a dedicated shopping bike I use one a week and all winter. It's the bike with fenders. I can carry two shopping bags home at a time and that's how I control my spending.

Many people in the USA take their own bags to the grocery store also.

I'm from the Netherlands and most people I know don't mind if you wear shoes in their homes. It's a personal choice, not a cultural thing.

For me as a Belgian, Dutch mayonnaise is way too sweet though.

YES!!! Seriously I am so sick of a two party system! Democrats and Republicans BOTH suck! How did we get stuck with this BS?

This is very noticeable. Most Europeans have a far greater respect of the life part of the Work Life balance, and so this is seen reflected in cultural norms and often laws. (For example, try to go shopping in Germany on a Sunday or see the consequences of non-emergency work-related 'phone calls outside standard office hours.)

We have trains. Yeah, this country is backward as f**k but we have goddamned trains.

Respect other peoples' property maybe?

You can get your phone unlocked if you've finished paying it off

I'm curious how this differs from eu legislation. For example, the app store must clearly state how data is collected and how it is used. Sites can be prohibited from collecting data and the use of cookies can be adjusted manually. Apps can be denied access to, for example, the camera, messages or gallery if you want.

Roundabouts are becoming far more common in the USA.

The United States has an extremely low population density. When you live 25 miles from the nearest Walmart and there's nothing in between except corn and soybean fields, you need a car.

There's a video currently doing the rounds on YouTube about UK police arresting an autistic teenager, respect is the last thing being shown.

Mandatory in more than half of states. We're getting there.

I'm confused. We have kinder eggs in the U.S. I see them everywhere.

Sell a Kinder Egg with a 30 round magazine and they'll be in every store in Texas overnight

Kinder Eggs are banned because the US has too many stupid people, thus making the toy inside a choking hazard despite the warning (that nobody reads) on the label. You can see some of the evidence on all the comments by people who read that Kinder Eggs are illegal and then say they're not because they've seen a different product.

What makes these eggs kinder?

we have Kinder eggs where Iwork...in the US

Finally. Something I've never heard of.

Yum! regards, Canada.

Ugh this! US Kinder Eggs and their toys suck! I mean, I am still gonna eat it and assemble the toy, but it's not the same! Why are US kids dumb and try to swallow everything!!

What ? Why ? Real question. My mind is not accepting

Yesssss!

If you think the US doesn't have kinder eggs I suggest you visit. Kinder eggs are here and they're delicious!

best in the WORLSD

Never understood why US banned them
