@J3steri @fraubalhorn @dhcueb4 I’m not saying you can’t have beautiful hikes in every country, you can. But pretending short hikes between developed areas is the same as US public lands is disingenuous. He also claimed the US was a concrete wasteland when its park system is one of its greatest accomplishments

@KevInKCMO17 @fraubalhorn @dhcueb4 It was kinda joke, but let's try. And size hardly matters ;) There is nothing common with me and my enviroment versus dude from like Italy or France etc. But I haven't traveled that much in EU and more outside of it. So lets say Finland just because I live in here 😎

Most European tourists to the US return home with renewed appreciation for their continent’s public infrastructure, urban planning on a human scale, and general liveability. The rest are sociopaths.

European football fans visiting America are discovering the mass affluence of the country’s suburbs. The wealth enticing holidaymakers troubles European elites. America, once a peer, seems to be racing ahead economist.com/finance-and-ec…

@J3steri @fraubalhorn @dhcueb4 Probably the best choice in Europe to make since it’s not population dense and their free roam policy. With that said, the trail system has very few long hikes through mostly untouched wilderness. Hikes of 25-50 miles max between civilization. The UKK follows a highway

@BlindlyFollow @industrialpc @txgermanbre “Savings” would also need to be defined. In the US, savings and investments are not the same. If it’s not included, Americans hold countless other forms of non-savings assets. Ones that are revenue generating and ones that have liquidity.

@industrialpc @KevInKCMO17 @txgermanbre Too many Americans don’t save cash, and should. But Americans have more private “rainy day” sources than most Europeans. We have the 401(k) which is personal retirement to borrow from. Home Equity Loans. Borrowing from paid Insurance policies. The big standby is credit cards.🤦🏻‍♂️

@txgermanbre The US has a much larger and wealthier middle class that also lives better than the middle class of Europe. The lower class in Europe, which is growing, has a better quality of life than the lower class of the US. Y’all big mad your middle class isn’t expanding

@industrialpc @txgermanbre disposable income is defined as your take home pay. The amount hitting your bank account on pay day. It’s representative of the financial spending power by the consumer. This is adding in government spending on behalf of the consumer. Why stop there and not add education?

Where do you think Taxes come from? The 2.5 Trillion USD that the OECD counts as adjusted (gross/net adjusted) household disposable income in the US also come out of taxes. Maybe you don´t understand what the adjusted disposable income number is supposed to express? Maybe you like AIC numbers better, but they are not fundamentally different, the US drops to ~52k USD, for Germany Gross disposable income and AIC are basically identical and about 20% below the US.

@industrialpc @txgermanbre How do they then account for HSA/FSA funds? My employer gives me $750/year to spend on healthcare expenses. HSAs can be invested. How do they account for gains in a HSA account? It’s not taxable income but prevents disposable income being used for health expenses.

@industrialpc @txgermanbre Why are insurance premiums not added back to the US then? They’re gross income, not net. You were required to have insurance by the government and it’s a fine if you don’t. The system is beyond flawed.

@J3steri @fraubalhorn @dhcueb4 It’s almost like individual European countries are the size of our states. Go ahead name which European country has a better park system, trail system, and untouched/undeveloped wilderness than the US and I’ll name individual states who do it better just to rub it in

This is Germany. I live in the middle of fucking nowhere back in Germany so much so when I tell Germans they ask me where the fuck is that because they’ve never heard of it. And it still looks better than your backyard.

@EmersonAck74431 @FlapperCatLady The Algonquin tribes who called it Shawmut and had settlements there prior to the British in which they slaughtered them and forced them out and renamed it to an English town… like most cities in the US they claim to have founded.

It’s quite embarrassing how Bostonians’ recent behavior was treated as cute and silly. No, actually you are just bigots holding onto a centuries old grievance you aren’t even connected to in any way. Grow the fuck up. It’s pathetic,childish,petty behavior & should be called out.

@industrialpc @txgermanbre It’s absolutely absurd to count the full healthcare costs as income in European countries but not the US because the government, with insurance, pays the majority when that exact same thing happens in the US. This also would ignore HSAs in the US which is income toward healthcare

@KevInKCMO17 @txgermanbre You pay an average (mandantory) 500 in healthare contributions, and get anverage~500 in healthcare services added to income. Exactly like in the US. It is an insurance, it works like an insurance. The difference is that it is mandantory.

@Lucaamperah @txgermanbre @Bemalo4 @MarkIslako yet you’re friends with a woman who made inflammatory posts starting this exchange and has since deleted them trying to hide her trashy behavior. Sad little men would criticize others for behavior their friends exhibited and started the conflict with. I copied her style.

@wirbelsturm13 @txgermanbre This is highlighting how little Europeans actually understand about US healthcare. Our insurance replaces your government paying for the bulk of the costs. The risk/cost is grouped either way. It’s absurd to add amounts to income the gov’t or insurance pays over the individual

@wirbelsturm13 @txgermanbre Bruh, you pay 500 in taxes and receive 5000 in healthcare services and they’re adding 5k to your disposable income despite you never having it. US pays 500 in premiums, receives 5k in services and it’s not added. It’s ass backwards to add total cost of services as income.

@industrialpc @txgermanbre Y’all are claiming we need to count the thousands insurance companies pay in the US and doesn’t impact their disposable income as disposable income in Europe. You pay 500 in taxes, get 5k in healthcare. They’re adding 5k to disposable income. US pays 500 in premiums vs taxes

Its not "Germany", it is the OECD. And they promote the adjusted metric because the economists across the 38 OECD member countries, including the US, consider it as the more appropriate and comparable measure for cross-country analyses of household material well-being. Looking at naked disposable income figures would make it quite tough to explain why German can set more money aside than US Americans.

@festinagirl our disposable income is 10s of thousands higher per capita than France. Less than 1% of Americans have medical debt of 10k or more, so excellent display of the financial climate in the US. 5x as many euros die from the heat as Americans die from gun violence. So fulfilling
