Actually, that purchase was probably not real, as un-supervised possession of a gun is not legal for 13 year olds in any state even if it was a private sell. So either they filmed the seller actively committing a crime, or the mother was there as a guardian enabling the 13 year old, or (most likely) it was faked.

Also, ever since the armed conflicts have started, but mostly in Europe, the gun assaults have kinda escalated around here as well. There are kids who buy guns off the internet... as well as drugs. And the tech moguls still have the balls to say that technology is good for you, and that people are safe online. You get tracked if you try to pirate a movie, but they somehow "don't notice", teens buying drugs and guns off fb marketplace and other shops like that. Cool, huh?

Germany does have affordable education and healthcare but it also has a bigger gap between the rich and the poor compared to "socialist" countries. You'll see old crappy cars driving next to a bunch of Audi A7's and A8's whereas in let's say Norway or the Netherlands you'd see more people driving an "average" A4 or A5 but less people in old crappy cars or A7's. My theory is that being able to comfortably live your life without any worry about making your payments gets you 90% towards bliss and that A7 just gives you an extra 5%. The secret to a happy society is a strong middle class that is accessible to join for the lower classes due to free healthcare and education.

Don't want guns at home, but I'll make an exception for my service rifle until then. But we don't get ammo to store at home. This used to be the case, but was changed in 2009. Looking at how many idiots you get in a military (not using the safety lock when lowering the rifle etc.), i am very glad this was changed. So, despite having done military and having my rifle at home right now - i can't just buy a gun. And that's good!

The American Healthcare system is so insane that even Physicians hate it. I had the absolute gold standard of Health Insurance. Our employers knew that their hourly employees could never afford the deductible, but they could, and that was what was most important to them. I developed a catastrophic illness, I couldn't work and disability payments are 90 days out to begin, I was screwed. My physician was part of a large private practice owned by the doctors. It had it's own pharmacist, chemotherapy suite, physical therapy, x-ray technicians, etc, all on site. My Physician literally saved my life by crediting me for having met my deductible out of his own pocket, for 3 years.

In Cairns, Australia a young American man had found his first secure job, a happy share house and his ideal lifestyle! Then one day on his way to work his bike ran into a car, he thought omg what can I do, I can't afford to be off work and I'm in a foreign country! He was full of anxiety considering the cost of treatment to his damaged knee, ambulance, medications, physio, unemployment! But, in Australia he found most of his treatment was covered, his neighbours help with his mobility, and his casual employer agreed to support him under WorkCover! His working holiday continues without huge debts, and the only disturbance to his sleep is tropical birds!

You may not realize it but that first story is BS... in the US, ERs have a duty to treat you despite your ability to pay and we have publicly funded hospitals which will treat you if you can't afford it... it is true that you technically incur debt, but if you can't pay, it is written off.... most of what you hear about US health care is either misunderstood or a straight up lie.

@@user-kq5ke5yb6k Definitely not. The USA has relied on europe more than the other way around of late. The US didn't ever involve itself into any wars until it got attacked itself, then claims all the glory despite joining at the last minute. To my knowledge the US hasn't actually ever won a single proper war by itself, despite claiming to be the "greatest" and the "best". More recently than WW2, they've a bad habit of shooting their allies. In 2003??? I think... a british convoy was shot at by an A10 warthog. The American pilot, Gus Kohntopp from the Idaho National Air Guard saw some troops on the ground - rather than waiting for permission to engage, or asking for a marker round, he decided to open fire, despite on the video it quite clearly being very obvious he is not even SURE that they are enemy. He fired at them. He went around for another pass, and opened fire again, this time killing a British soldier and severely injuring another soldier who tried to save his now dead colleague. A prime example of American incompetence... shooting TWICE at someone you aren't even sure is the enemy. What happened? Nothing. He was never court martialled, never tried for any criminal charges.. the US did what it always does... swept it under the carpet and acted like nothing had happened. You guys value other people's lives so little and it shows. The USA demand the UK extradite Julian Assange, despite the fact they legally couldn't as he was in the Ecuadorian embassy. Yet the USA REFUSED to extradite Anne Sacoolas when she KILLED a british citizen due to her own incompetence.... and instead tried to pay the family off.... now there's an american answer to any problem "throw money at it". And then you wonder why europe and much of the world has such distain for the USA. If the USA was wiped off the face of the earth tomorrow I wouldn't give two hoots, as a nation you aren't anywhere near as "liked" or "appreciated" by most of the world, as a lot of the US citizens think.

Many europeans have a lot of distain for the USA, especially when it comes to just how little regard they place on human life.

Every single time there's comments such as 'America is number one', when they clearly not and a lot of comments disputing the list or asking why they aren't on it. The subject of the list doesn't matter, as long as it's something positive. They get shocked and offended if they don't see themselves there or at a very low position. And if you try to engage them they very quickly lose their tempers and start attacking what ever country they are from. You rarely see this from people from other countries.

I am Italian and regard myself as a polite person. I lived in the States and in the UK. to be frank, the UK is not better. Even Italy is going down healthwise. For example, my British Father-in-Law, in Britain died of cancer due to the waiting list. Despite having a diagnosis, by the time he could be seen by an oncologist, his pathology had developed beyond cure and spread to the bones and the liver. My husband and I moved them to Italy and the medical staff confirmed that there was nothing to do. The only comfort was that he was immediately put under "pain control therapy". we didn't have to pay anything and luckily most of the staff spoke at least a form of English otherwise I translated for him. In the end, he was under very heavy sedation and passed away painlessly. My husband was allowed to stay with him 24/7 and given a sort of foldable bed (uncomfortable but better than nothing).

I'm sorry to hear that your father-in-law wasn't able to receive the treatment he needed in time. I'm sure that we agree that the health services we have should be improved and I'm sure if your family had been able to pay for a quicker operation at a private clinic then they would have. But if you don't have the money to pay private in the UK/Italy, how do you pay for the operation in the US? At least the diagnosis and treatment he did receive was relatively free and not too much of a financial burden on your family. How much would that diagnosis, pain control therapy, and hospital care have cost in the US? Many people in the US don't get operations/treatments to improve their health (or even visit the doctor/hospital), because the bill, or insurance plan "deductible" is too expensive for them. Women who have just given birth in US hospitals are even charged for holding their new baby !!! My mum recently died from cancer in Scotland. Fortunately for us, although the bowel cancer eventually became inoperable, she did receive free treatment on the NHS that prolonged her life considerably. Nearer the end, a free daily home-help service was allocated to allow her to stay in her house. When that was no longer tenable, she was looked after by a free hospice service until she passed away. I don't come from a wealthy family and I'm very grateful to the Scottish health service for the care and quality of life my mother had in her old age, without our family's finances being crippled and burdened with debt, as they probably would have been under the US system for the same level of care. Sorry for the rant :) Love, peace, power and happiness to you !

•In the US: I have Blue Cross Blue Shield every time I went in for physical therapy I had to pay $20.00 out of pocket. When I was seeing a psychologist my insurance paid for the whole thing. When my insurance had to catch up with payments I could not see the psychologist. In 2018/19 I broke three bones in my foot, two thick bones on very thin bone. I had to get foot surgery twice. One surgery to put hardware on the thick bones and one surgery to take some hard ware off the tick bones. If I did not have insurance to pay for both surgeries I would probably still be paying medical bills. I think for the first surgery I could not pay my bills because I had to take many weeks off work after I broke my foot and after the first surgery. The hospital where I got the first surgery at sent my bill to a collections agency. They let me pay off my bill in installments of about a minimum of $128.00 more or less until my medical bill was paid off. Which took many weeks.

That American quote underneath the close borders tweet, there's a difference between helping immigrants and being over run, as being iver run with immigrants then the country ends up be8ng unable to help. Structured immigration and you're more aboe to help truly in need. The American quote doesn't mean you have to take in the world and their family into your country & also doesn't mean you don't have principles, as if you don't make sure your own people are taken care of then you will never be able to help others and hate breeds from that.

@@moondaughter1004 I personally think our healthcare system is flawed. It costs too much especially compared to the rest of the world. People should not be concerned about the price to save their lives as I knew someone who passed away with over $500,000 in medical bills that the family is now responsible for paying. My sister who is a medical doctor in Boston has 4 luxury homes, 2 in America, 1 in Australia and another in France. Most of her income comes from contracts from the pharmaceutical companies believe it or not. Idk, after seeing and knowing the inner workings of healthcare, it kind of sickens me that the U.S. seems to less of medical care and more of a business. I can give you plenty of examples about how corrupt it is. I currently am dating a Persian woman who has a bachelors in medical billing. She stopped working in the field as the drs told her to she was to bill tests to patients who didn't need the tests. That the dr said "bill them! I want to drain as much money as I can from these people!" She literally quit her profession because it didn't aline with her morals. My ex wife was a RN and BSN. Same deal. She still works in the field as she makes $300,000+ a year with her overtime. She would tell me how the medical facility would tell to purposely open supplies and throw them away so they could bill the patients for it. Things like 1 ibuprofen costs patients $20-$50 for one pill. Bandages, syringes, suture kits all the same thing. I remember her telling me about how a dr came in to give stitches and he opened 5 different gauges acting like they weren't going to work and ended up charging the patient $60 a piece for them. My mother quit psychiatry too because she also felt that she wasn't helping people anymore.

That first issue must cause SO MUCH stress to EVERY compassionate healthcare professional - never mind the suffering caused to the primary victim - the patient. I am now retired, but I simply cannot, and don't wish to, even _imagine_ what that would feel like, but colleagues who have worked in the US have attempted to describe to me the feelings of helplessness and anger when _routine_ treatment was denied, or refused, or not complied with, _purely_ on the grounds of cost. Many had chosen to break their contracts, or simp,y not renew them, and return home, or to a country with more humane policies, despite the pay being less. I suppose for American nationals working in healthcare, it's merely yet another stressor which is accepted as part of the job ...

Another problem is that you maybe have an acute not life endangering problem, but the doctor can't treat you until there is an okay from the insurance and if there is a cheaper but worse alternative they often will only accept that solution. To exaggerate a bit - doctor say you need an artificial leg to walk and being able to work and insurance says we only pay for a wheel chair and your co-pay is 2/3 of the price for the wheel chair, while your insurance fee every month is double the cost of the wheel chair.

The problem with these lists, whether it's about happiness, safety, freedom of press or whatever, is that the first 30 and the last 30 are very, very close to each other. Actually, it's almost a divide into two categories. So, whether a country is no. 1 or 10, doesn't make much difference. But somewhere down the line, there is a sharp decline. That's not always at the same position, of course. But around this position, 1 rank up or down can make a big difference.
