Welcome here in Germany! I

@bossymeg brown True, but by paying the taxes that contribute to services such as education & health care etc, most people in Western Europe don't have to take out huge loans to ensure that their kids can attend College/University, or cripple their own and their families financial future if they get sick. It's about what you get for how much you pay - and from everything I've seen, heard and read, we get a lot more bang for our buck from the Governments in Europe than in the US.

hey there sister, if you knew what going to occur in europe soon, you'd rethink your position on moving back to America. if one cannot already see the signs... then i'd encourage you to pray about it!! God can speak to people in various ways... but first we must ask concerning a matter... then await his response with open ears, eyes,mind and heart!! be blessed sister!!

@bossymeg brown as opposed to the USA, where people still have to pay a lot in taxes, and then the health insurance won’t approve your doctors or reimburse your medical fees… you have to pay most of the price of your meds yourself (which are more expensive than anywhere else in the world)……. And if you lose your job, you lose your insurance. …… and people wonder why crime in the USA is so much worse…

The Germans take pride in their country from what I've seen. The US is more concerned with capitalism and getting rich so some things aren't prioritized.

You can leave one of the Ivy League universities in the USA with a masters degree and $150,000 in debt. But most of the people who go to those "schools" (US slang for university) are from the 1% but if you are not rich it is a lifetime of debt slavery before you even start your career. People go there because they think it will land them an elite high paying job that will pay off the debt quickly. Problem is that is often not the case. So it is safer to only pay $50,000 and go to a less prestigious college. In the US that is the cheap "school".

did u also take russian gas for granted???

AMERICA is much better than any country in Europe. BUT it comes with a lot of individual responsibility. I am European. (Norwegian) and I’ve lived in the US for 1/4 of my life now.

I have never wanted to have children either, and this feeling becomes stronger and stronger every day.

A few years ago, my mother had tumours in both kidneys and they were not operable and malignant. I donated a kidney. My American colleagues asked me how I am financing this, if my family needs to mortgage the house etc. I was very confused, seeing how I paid nothing, really. I mean.. there were some minimal costs for the hospital bed and a 10 Euro fee for medication and in total (if I remember correctly) I paid around 250. My mother was a pensioner already and paid nothing. They then were even more shocked when I explained that I will continue to be paid during this time. Social safety nets - aren't they the best.

@@timolynch149 American politicians who get bribe money from the american health industry make sure that average Americans have no idea that the US health care system is among the worst of all developed countries.

It is to control us. People don't really learn history. The US was built on foreigners. In the early-mid 1900s US poached scientists from Solviet Union, for example. US policy is let other countries pay to give education, then steal them with the lure of better pay. So, of course, the gov't is going to take steps to prevent other countries from doing it to US. So, we get loaded with debt and then become incapable of emigrating. If you have student debt, the only places you could ever hope to earn enough to pay it off are the same countries that are most difficult to get into. Debt is a tool to keep the educated Americans from being able to leave

@Jean juju In my home state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the current cost per semester is a €70 administrative fee, which also gives you access to services and local transport. This is for a degree course. If you already have a completed degree, you may be charged 600 per semester and up to 1500 if you are not an EU citizen.

I get your point but she did not seem that type of person in fact there is a video where she actively is speaking and practicing German. Like I get your point but this rant out of context sounds quite rude to her in my opinion.

@@kaleidoscopingwe I don't think it was directed at her, imho. I do think it a good point though. My former father-in-law was a immigrant to the U.S. from Mexico city. He made it a point NOT to speak anything but English in his household when he came to the U.S. This was in an effort to force his children and wife to speak the common tongue of the country they wanted to call home.

lol. to be fair: it's probably very hard to get over such a deep attitude, and second: even a lot of germans are to "lazy" to learn german language the right way - but to be fair again: german is kinda hard to master.

I used to try to speak German with people and they typically would reply in and want to practice their English. While I was OK with that as it increased the level of our conversation it certainly didn’t help me learn German.

Germany isn't close to perfect at all..... no freedom.

It just shows how USA is fked up lol

@@josephbenadam Healthcare is just but one aspect of life. All the rest like safety, infrastructure, schooling, nature, social safety net etc. are all valid points and apply to most Western European countries. (I live in Switzerland.) Yes, Switzerland is more expensive than the US (not sure about the healthcare costs, though), but the overall standard of living is way better.

The UK is underfunded by the right wing government that is trying to make it ready for sale to American companies via trump's pals.. The US has good healthcare IF you can afford it. If you can't you will die in agony and nobody will care. When I visit the UK I too am struck by the smooth roads after Wisconsin, coz Wisconsin roads are like Somalia...

@DerEineDude and all the others: Greetings from a Bavarian living in Malaysia.

Question, have you calculated how much you are paying in total (federal + state equivalent)? I'm not talking about sales taxes.

@@valeenoi2284 I know the question did not go to me, but as I am German, too, and probably also upper middle class: Around 35% for taxes and medical insurance combined, sales tax not counted. Less if I had a lower income. Or did you mean an actual sum instead of a percentage?

I had a similar conversation and I added "Yeah, us poor Germans, never having to worry about our kids getting gunned down in school".

@@valeenoi2284 The taxes you see on your paystub are the taxes you pay, they're combined. You don't file or pay state and federal taxes separately. Also, the sales tax is included in the sales price. So when you go grocery shopping and something costs €1.29, then you pay €1.29 at the checkout, there's no "plus sales tax". The only difference is when you buy drinks that come in bottles with "Pfand", which is a deposit you pay that you get back when you return the bottles. The deposit system has been implemented to prevent littering

@@321gates Yes and therefore your poverty and illness and education costs are only your business. Hard price for your so called freedom. In Germany you have the freedom not to worry about everything and its absolut not socialism.

I am one of those "unsatisfied germans" - and i can tell you why: Because since the last 20 or s years we slowly but surely tend to lose all these great benefits and thats such a pity, because social and educational advantages as well as the health insurrance nowadays become more and more only suitablecfor rich people! When i was a young kid we had a great bunch of health care benefits, that we've alread lost meanwhile. If this development goes on, we won' t be much better then f.e. the USA in nearer future. Before this will happen, i think its important for the german people, to stand up and stop this de-structurizing of our social advantages and not point towards the rest of our benefits and say self-indulgent: "How fantastic is germany in relation to other bations!"

I'm American. Do you think we have it bad? We don't... Our system is different but it's NOT inferior. Everyone around the world lines up to live in the US. We lead and help protect the world. We don't have it bad here, it's beautiful here. We're tremendously diverse and you don't have anything like that in the world. Every state is like a different country. It's a great place to visit and for many it's a great place to live.

@@Initium1000 Sorry, didn't want to offend Americans or something like that. It probably was just expressed in a wrong way by me. Sorry again for that. Just wanted to say, that it's kind of humbling to see people from great nations like the US here in Germany talking about how great we have it here and that unfortunately there are lots of people out there not appreciating it, which makes me sad.

Not so bad then in the U.S. , but its ongoing getting more and more unfair! In my eyes it is not okay to find the german health care beyond all critical discussion, only because by NOW its fairer then in other places. I could explain you a lot of examples, but that would take it much too far here... The german system has been great in the 60ties, 70ties but started to get worse since Helmut Kohl became chancelor in The 80ties. And this process is still, continuing ...

@@Initium1000 Sorry, over there you have a school shooting every other week, you have expensive, inefficient health insurance or massive medical debt, sometimes even with insurance, you have a "democracy" with literally 2 parties and a system where not every vote is counted the same and your companies are pumping whatever shit is allowed in your food, which is highly illegal in most other developed nations.

@@FrancisJoa Well a shootout in Germany... its like a once or twice in a decade event, dont even remember the last one from the top of my head. And things like homicide in general are very rare. There are basically no gangs, which are the cause for most gun violence in the US. The normal german citizen barely experience any kind of life threatening crime in their entire life. Even at places where it is more dangerous compared to the rest of the country it is very unlikely that you get killed. Sure you can buy all kinds of guns, even in Germany, but the effort is so much higher that the entry barrier is so high that if you can affort it you wont have a need for it.

What's funny is that she could have found that here in the states if she didn't live in one of the worst cities in the country. It's hilarious how Americans demonize their country when they've only ever seen, maybe a handful of states, and usually only 2-3 in their immediate proximity depending on the size and location. Safety? Get out of inner cities and move either into a suburb or the area between the suburbs and the countryside. Or go to a large red aligned city in a red state. Crime is generally lower, as is homelessness, and poverty while safety is generally higher. Top ten cities for worst crime in the country and like 8 of them are deep blue in deep blue states, that have had deep blue governance for at least a generation if not several. And the cities that aren't deep blue are at least purple due to the recent influx of refugees from California and New York after they fled their states by the hundreds of thousands. Not far to get back home? Sure, fine. You can argue the walking distance thing and not having to be reliant on a car. Though I would argue that relying on public transport makes you more dependent than having access to your own personal vehicle. And there's been a push in recent years, especially by dollar stores like Dollar generals to service out of the way and rural areas. Like, I've seen three of them within a mile of each other servicing one small rural town. Again I point to rural and suburban areas for the greatest degrees of freedom while also having access to things. Family Friendly? Again, rural or suburban. The people who worry about crime need to look up where all that crime is actually happening. School system is free? Depending on where you are, the same can be said for US public schools. Or even when that's not the case tuition for most public schools is generally very cheep due to subsidy. Private schools are more expensive of course but they also provide better schooling in general. Higher standard of living. Again, get out of big cities. Big cities have some of the greatest divides between rich and poor and have the worst quality of life both from access and general health due to pollution and air/water/etc. quality. Nature? The US has some of greatest stretches of untouched wilderness on the planet, more National parks than pretty much anywhere else and the ability to live in those places if, again, you don't live in the concrete hellscape that is a major US city. Traveling? Depending on what kind of vehicle you're driving, it can be expensive yes. But I just made it an 1800 mile round trip a month or so back and it only cost like $300 in gas, and a couple hundred in food and lodging. Also bear in mind, the United states is MASSIVE. Crossing one of the shorter parts of the US would be like driving from Madrid Spain to Tallinn Estonia. If you want to travel in the US, you can, fairly cheap even, but it'll get expensive if you try to treat the US like the majority of Europe where most of the countries are the size of 1-3 states.

All we can ever do is try and overcome those. If your experience is this bad and you feel this little appreciation, maybe you should, if your situation allows, consider moving either elsewhere in the US (it is after all a VERY big country) or moving abroad. They only good alternative is to stay and fight to make wherever you live a better place. Giving in and letting others push you around is never a good idea, but of course all of that is easier said then done. I've been very fortunate and have had, through work and social connections, many opportunities to travel and see a lot of places around the world. Most people I have met just want to live their lives as safely and healthy as possible and mean no harm to others. Meeting and working with people from around the world has, or so I hope, made me a little less ignorant and it taught me that if I respect people they'll usually respect me, even when we're very different. I was honoured to attend weddings of two of my friends in Costa Rica and a former colleague's big family party in India when the grandmother turned 90, being the only foreigner there each time and not for one second did I feel out of place and I think that is what, in an ideal world, it should be for anyone.

Hitler also claimed to be a bootstrapping homeless dumpster diver. All Germans know this is a lie because in your country there were no rags to riches stories. It was the rule of the noble class period. It's amazing that one whole country's general population can keep such a big secret from another's.

Where did the money for their education come from? Money that you and others paid to the government for years in taxes. Your kids go to school for 4 years, but you pay for it in taxes for 70 years. It ends up a wash. But if your kids don't go to higher education, you STILL have to pay for those other kids to go.

Omg, my fellow germans will have the oportunity of great education. What a waste...

@@PittDaddy Yes I pay taxes. It doesn't just pay for college. I also get affordable healthcare, can take up to 3 years parental leave, get affordable childcare.

I didn't say it would be a waste. I said it is not free. You pay for it over your lifetime. And instead of paying for them, you could use it to build your own business with that money. I paid out of pocket for my BS and MBA degrees, my wife's BS degree, my daughter's BS degree, and my son's college. We did without many things to achieve that, but that was our priority. I don't want to have to pay for someone else's child as well. That is THEIR parent's responsibility, not mine. One other thing... my parents were immigrants after the war from Germany and came with nothing. Whatever we had was saved for by us. They didn't have the money to pay for me, so I saved for it.

Working in Germany is really great. You dont really have to care about being fired, because of the protection by law.

Hey! What’s your job? I wouldn’t mind a move to Germany for work so I’m curious. By the way I’m in my last year of high school so I’m deciding what to do with my life:)

@Makayla Melendez hi Makayla! Good for you for thinking about these things and researching stuff. I work in architecture (can't technically call myself an architect until I get licensed but now have all the schooling I need)

@@deenman23 Yes, that is correct. A country can be so beautiful - the feeling of not being able to move safely on the street destroys every beautiful feeling. I was in South America for the first time a few years ago, Brazil in Salvador da Bahia. I lived for a month near one of the beautiful beaches (near the lighthouse of Itapua) - in a beautiful villa with huge walls around it and an alarm system. I was warned not to move alone in the dark and not to have anything with me on the beach during the day, which shows that there is something valuable to get. I then already had a strange feeling during my beach walks. In fact, just before I went home, I was robbed on the beach - for the first time in my life! When I flew home 3 days later and stopped over in Frankfurt and then took the train to Hamburg, I had incredible feelings of freedom and happiness. It was clear that nothing was going to happen. That made me a bit euphoric and I really enjoyed the vacation time afterwards in Hamburg, my home. Everything! However: USA is not always crime. In many areas of California I felt just as good as in Europe and Germany. And then the sun and those wonderful beaches. No comparison with Brazil. I also loved Florida and the neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Maybe I didn't realize that where I lived, in Queens, there were also dangers. But it couldn't be as blatant as Salvador. Naples in Florida is just as save, Miami however not at all and in the north, Detroit, also not. It varies, but there are wonderful places in the U.S. when Donald Trump is not the president and destroying much of that feeling.

In college I studied abroad in Germany for 3 years and everything she said is true. From the kids walking home unmonitored, to the overall safety. I remember feeling safe walking home @ 3 in the morning with my Macbook and bike with no worries at all. One night after a night of drinking, my friend Lauren ended up leaving her big ole purse/bag on the tram. In her purse was her wallet, laptop, passport, basically her life. Someone found her purse on the train and mailed everything in a box with all the contents still intact. A similar situation happened to me when I lost my wallet and my wallet was mailed to my house with the $350 I'd taken out the bank earlier in the week still in the folds. It's truly a beautiful, safe and welcoming country. I'd move back in a heartbeat if I could.

@@christopherhall6471 I don't know why you find it so unusual when kids go around alone and you can walk at night safely? Here in Kazakhstan we do walk at nights with no problem and kids walk to and from school unmonitored. I see it every day even though I leave in one of the most criminal cities of Kazakhstan, Oskemen. I even remember traveling intercity on my own when I was aged 12. Backpacking - no problema.

@@deenman23 Yeah, she didn't leave he belongings on the tram on purpose, she was drunk. I was just saying that if that were to happen in NYC for example or anywhere else in the US, her items never be seen again.

And if you do it for the same reasons (more or less free access to education, reasonable social safety, a safe environment to have a family, the ability to travel and widen your horizon) pretty much anywhere in Europe could count their lucky stars to have you. Come to Ireland, it rarely rains :-P

@@christopherhall6471 As a native German I can tell you that that's not unusual. It's far from a given, but usually you'll be fine. It's the same in Ireland where I live these days. I once lost my wallet on a bus. ID, cards, 400 Euro or so. It was handed into the bus driver and there wasn't a thing missing.

@@vapidrabbit198 We have a kind of fake democracy here though. If you voted for a party, let's say "Die Linken" and they got 8%, they still can go into a coalition with other parties as it happend literally the past 15 years. If you have an 8% party in the government, that is not what I'd consider "democracy", because 92% of the demos ("the people", latin) did not vote for it. It is a super stretched form and has been abused by CDU and SPD the past Merkel years where the "union" (both CDU and SPD) basically played "Good Cop, Bad Cop" for a while.

@@Zedek it is messy, true… but practically all democracies today have a representative government. In the US, the power is held in 2 parties… in Germany the power is spread out among many parties. At least, if you belong to the 8% party, you still have some power through coalitions… it encourages compromise far more than the all or nothing “tug of war”, that is American politics.

Facts. I live in japan universal healthcare

@@herbttryhard7353 I am very happy to do this since the cost of living is relatively low compared to the States. There's still enough money going into savings to keep me satisfied. Sure it's less money directly in my pocket but the money I would have, would immediately disappear and potentially go into the negative with one major accident, health problem, or long term loss of job. The tax payment and benefits I've experienced creates a peace of mind that is well worth it.

We Germans do love our Versicherungen 🤣

Yea, I worked for a hotel chain in Texas and had health insurance with a $2500 deductible. One night I got poisoned bad enough to have to go to a hospital. They saw I had insurance and kept me the night for 14 hours just putting iv's in me. The doctor sat 10 feet from me and asked how I was feeling 10 minutes later she was gone. When I got home the bill came in a few weeks later the cost they billed my insurance $17,500. I couldn't pay the deductible because of the low wage hotel jobs so I applied for financial assistance for the deductible. They said I made 150% below a working wage for that area and that I owe nothing. The only time I was happy being in poverty. That's America and that's how the rich get richer and poor get poorer. That's about 60% of Americant's that's me an Americant. Living in Germany where do I sign up?

Interestingly, most African-Americans choose to move to white-majority countries when relocating abroad....

@@jayomnisen1210 People go where they have the best opportunity to live the highest standard of living. Period. This is a human trait, not a skin color trait. The best opportunity depends on the person. For this lady, it's Germany. For me, it's a "non-white" country. Thus, in my view, your comment lacks serious analytic depth and frankly insinuates white supremacy, which, in our 21st century, is actually incorrect. In fact, since the 1600s, Africa has been raped of its resources both human and material for centuries by European imperialist countries and their profiteering locally installed rulers. The rape made those places weak and terrible places to gain opportunity. Africa is getting better but it is still NOT a place of opportunity yet. Now, here as I sit on a long vacation in Europe (Austria), racism is NOT a major thing like in the USA. It's just not. This explains why this lady feels comfortable and happy living in Germany. Europe now is melting into diversity like never before. Globalization is changing the world and it's working its magic here in Europe, with some bumps, but it's working great. In the USA, the resistance to the inevitable is stronger but, in the end, it will fall under the weight of the future. And, in the end, the USA will have to accept that it's part of the world and will finally drop its racist past and accept all of its citizens as equal not just under law but into the true harmonious social fabric that would be a true civil society. I hope this helps you better understand migration, opportunity, and why some should leave the USA for greener pastures.

Yes, that's right. Children can go to the bakery alone or to other shops. THE !! You are safe !!! You don't have to be afraid of gun violence or robbery! AND children are brought up self-confident and independent adults. We are proud of that in Germany! Greetings from a safe Germany.

just go back

Going to the bakery on a Sunday morning is something of a tradition, and it's an easy and pretty safe way to introduce your child to grown-up chores. Usually there's a bakery nearby, so it's probably 5-10 minutes on foot. I remember doing that as a child and I was very proud of myself!

@@Hanna-ls2sv Yes, but in most if not all of those situations she would be forced to live in societies that were predominantly created by non-whites. And she would have to live in those circumstances. I get the feeling she doesn't care for that.

As an american, she has seen what happens under those circumstances.

Yeah, this American 'friendliness' often feels over the top and dishonest, performed or even overemotional for us. They might think we are unfriendly. it is really just cultural and not how one is as a person deep down.
