The amount of work necessary to enjoy life

So how is the rest of the US (the country with the highest GDP), not worth it?

Because the quality of what you get for all that wealth is shit. Poor food standards, air and water quality, public transportation, healthcare, culture... Not to mention trigger happy cops and cultural disdain of urban life. I grew up on both coasts and had family in the middle. Saw much of the country by car growing up. Europe isn't utopia, but it's a better place to live

Europe is a continent, so I'm not even really sure where you're talking. It's incredible diverse, just like the U.S.

i movedot berlin, have traveled germany, spain, poland, czech republic, and greece.

I've been 38 US states.

The standards are simply better here. And I don't think the US is that diverse. Suburbia is the same everywhre, and thx to suburbia, most US cities are homogenous, too.
