☹️😭

THIS! I remember a time that my dad had gotten laid off and my mum was dealing with health issues. They were simply down on their luck and filed for food stamps. Due to their Canadian pension they only qualified for $18 in food stamps a month and made too much to have health insurance, just adding to the health issues.

This! Pay everyone a living wage and do away with tips!

Oh, we Germans kinda do that, too, actually 😅

Everything in American-English too rather than British-English. things that are translated from almost any other language into American-English rather than British-English regardless of the subject matter

We’d call that indoctrination in the UK. I remember speaking with an elderly Italian man who was a child when Mussolini came to power. He told me they were forced to do similar things at school.

And lobby for laws that put more people in jail

Most Americans think they're ridiculous too tbh.

It's so much more than that. It's not that they dont want healthcare, they dont want to pay for SOMEONE ELSE'S healthcare.

Most places use chip-and-pin where they *have* to take the card at the table since you need to enter your PIN. USA credit card banks decided Americans aren't smart enough for chip-and-pin, so we just have chip and an archaic signature.

Yeah, I kinda agree with this one.

This is sad

Add "who is paying their debt while also stopping treatment because they can't continue accruing more debt"

yeah...

i know- you can literally stare someone in the face while they are going to the bathroom

How else can they keep up the illusion that they live in a country worth celebrating?

Different taxes in different states. But yeah.

Work to live, don't live to work.

we get sooo many ads too; they're literally everywhere and most of them are attack ads with questionable information

it's disgusting the amount of money my school spends on sports, and we're not even remotely a sporty school

the meal in the picture is not an American one.

A group of American's explained why the meals are so big, it's because they are actually 2 servings. It's an American tradition to take what you don't eat home to eat as another meal or to share the one meal between 2 people.

This is so true

It's ridiculous, yes. Way too much food.

That's why we have an enormous problem with obesity in the US.

My friend, who's a chef, serves gigantic portions. I love his lobster mac & cheese, but I literally get five separate meals from it!

they're designed to get leftovers. people are busy, and the leftovers will give them a meal for another time. or you know, some people get confused and eat it all....

In the Netherlands the portions are not that much, high prices and after a meal you eat home again.

I agree. My husband is from Morocco. A large combo there is the small in the US. Not a lot of fat people there either.

That is an appetizer at the Outback restaurant. I recognize the bread.

But, but...then there would be no doggie bag if portions were reduced.

in america we eat good

which restaurant can I go to to get full off of half an appetizer. I just paid $12 for one crab cake appetizer the other day.

That's good tho if your paying the same price wouldn't you rather have more? And it gives you another meal so it's like 2 for 1

I've had quite different experiences here in Europe. But above all I've grown up being taught that it was rude to finish my plate in a restaurant. This would make the cook feel that I didn't get enough food.

I understand that US citizen here btw.
