yes i know those 4 hour lunches in france are really tough.....

Now wait a minute... I get a lot of flack for saying life in much of Western Europe is better because of things like this.

So, what is it? Is life better there or here? I know that's a subjective question, but man... I think more vacation = better life.

More affordable healthcare also = better life.

So if America is a better place to live, why is it? Working longer hours doesn't sound like a better place to live to me.

On the other hand, working longer hours doesn't sound easier than Europe either though.

So guys... please explain this one. I don't get either perspective on this right now.

Its all in the salaries/ cost ratio imo.

Europe is overpriced.

I'd rather know why our immigration rate is so high... I'm not just talking about Mexicans neither. Our immigration laws are supposed to be tougher than most. Germany is pretty tough too.

US immigration is a fucking bitch. 5 years+ to get citizenship... Hell in aus it only takes about 3 =/

Well one shit thing about being an American expat is that you have to still pay federal taxes lolololol.

Because America is better than most countries/all so a lot of people want to come here.

We have tougher immigration laws, but higher allowances for immigration totals.

Most countries literally don't keep as many spaces open as we do, mostly because they don't have the land or resources for it.

When looking at immigrants per capita, our rate is actually lower than Canada's.

Canada apparently has the highest rate in the world.

Well, here's my question... Do the amenities make the taxation worth it?

Do you think it's better to have higher disposable income with more expensive amenities that are privately run, or less disposable income but with socialized amenities?

It sucks when it comes to prices. We do generally have good quality care if you can afford it though.

Not having lived long enough in WEU, I cannot tell you. 1 month ain't enough to form a solid opinion.

EEU is quite fucked up though, the prices are the ones from the WEU along with salaries from the USSR-era.

Epic failure ensues.

No, there's only one health care service here - the best. You won't get any better care with money

I don't know much about Slovenia, but France has both public and private care. According to the WHO, that mixture of markets works better than anyone else's overall.
