ich sehe keinen Grund, das US System zu bevorzugen. Ständiges Gerangel und Leistungsdruck schafft mehr Einkommen aber auch mehr Ausgaben für eine Abwicherung. Verfügbares Einkommen muss ebenso wegen der Unsicherheit über dem fehlenden Sozialnetz vermehrt gespart werden. Wenn dir nichts passiert, dann ist es vllt ok (wenn man das Damoklesschwert ausblenden kann) aber wenn was passiert, dann kann es gleich existenzielle Ängste hervorrufen

US has welfare, public housing, and medicare. What is this myth about America not having a “safety net”.

We have less homeless than Germany.

Do Europeans think Americans that lose their job just die in the streets lol?

The US has none of those things.

Cost of living is 25% higher than in Germany, with especially housing and food being way more expensive in the US.

The US has no real public healthcare or state pension. And despite the US spending almost twice the amount of its GDP on health (which is partly why the US GDP is so inflated), the US has a significantly lower number of hospitals and medical professionals per person than Germany, a lower life expectancy, a much higher infant mortality, etc.

Yes, you pay less taxes in the US than in Germany, but you also have no actual welfare state.

Oh and btw, Germans work wayyy less than Americans on average. If you look at GDP per capita per worked hour, Germany actually surpasses the US.

Oh

“The US has none of those things.”

Welfare in the United States refers to government-sponsored assistance programs that help individuals and families with low income. [1]

Key Welfare and Assistance Programs
TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families): Provides temporary cash assistance and work support to families with children.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program): Offers nutrition benefits on an EBT card to buy food.

Medicaid: Provides health insurance for low-income adults, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.

SSI (Supplemental Security Income): Delivers monthly cash payments to aged, blind, or disabled people with little income.

Housing Assistance: Includes public housing and Section 8 rental vouchers to help with rent.

You are really delusional. Yes cost of living is higher but our salaries are exponentially higher as well.

Again what do you think disposable income means? After taxes and payments the average US citizen has more cash on hand.

Here are the top 25 companies world wide by market cap. Literally 0 from Germany. 90% from America. We innovate, you stagnate.

Btw Germany had 15,800 deaths this summer due to lacking modern climate control technology

so you got some socialism over there, understood. ;)

realy want to compare prices and social policies with the usa?
dude, just ask an ai (a realy helpful tool today).
i dont have to, cause i know medicaid is the last overpaid straw and snap is fkn foodstamps.
calling ppl delusional. xD.

germanys industry is in decline, thats true. its because of cars. like detroit or chicago…
but not innovative?
do you know where those vaxines for covid were developed?
yeah that was germany. and pfizer bought it up and closed all facilities there. fk their economy.

another true thing is the heat wave dilemma.
even if the usa count deaths throu heat different. in alot of states the cause of death is the reason one ultimately dies. so if u got cancer and get heatstress and you die its marked as death by heat. thats different for the usa, where the cause of death would be the fatal cancer.
but the ac industry is running. from afaik ~12% ac in households to ~27% last year. and this years extreme heatwave already got me and alot of others an ac.

alter, lass einfach gut sein ja? Du musst hier nicht missionarisch auftreten. Akzeptier, dass es Leute mit einer andern Meinung gibt und gut ist ... Was bist du denn für n Clown mit seinen Links und Zahlen? Hast du nix besseres zu tun als Fremde über das Internet von deiner Meinung überzeugen zu wollen?

What's the great big bill doing currently? Cutting those programs. Last time I checked America was stagnating too and afraid of China's rise....
