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.

I googled things like the happiness report and other papers. On all these Germany ranks way higher than the US but is still mostly between 8th and 14th place. Furthermore, the study includes things like the Pisa study to see the development of children. Some nations do train for the Pisa test whereas Germany stays on the path and is not willing to spend extra time/resources to gave a good standing in the Pisa test/study. Most reports therefore state that children are unhappy in Germany.

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.

But with the happieness list: The USA is still the best of all. It's the best 23th place in the World, no the Universe, the Marvel Multiverse. Freedom, Patriotismn #1, #1, Ohhhhh god can youuuuuuu seeeeeee.... (Yes not all but maybe a few US Citizen)

[@Nick.Martin.]

Uniquely, the USA is 23th!? Exactly who is 23rd is anyone’s guess…hope they’re happy too.

I wonder why not more americans get on a plane and get their surgeries in europe.. yes, you have to pay for it yourself but its still a lot cheaper than in the US

[@Jill-mh2wn]

No passport? The airfare is expensive? Not used to travelling outside their country?

[@moragmackay3597]

Just over 60% of Americans don't have a passport. That is from their own Government's statistics. Btw, the YT Bots are deleting many independently proven factual comments that are critical of America. So pathetically insecure as always. They really can't handle actual facts!

Perhaps they’re too sick?

Remember the majority of Americans don’t have a passport…

New York has some of the strictest guns laws in the United States. Crazy Yanks

[@moragmackay3597]

​​@@robertcervantes7016 Twenty states and the District of Columbia have set their own minimum age laws ranging from 14 in Montana to 21 in Illinois, but in the remaining 30 states it's technically legal for a child to possess a long gun.

The clip with the kid, says it all. We in Europe are praying for America to get free medical help or decent insurance. What made America Great was that people helped eachother. Now it does really feel like aMErica. I loved the photo at the end. It should be so, no matter where you are in the world 🌎❤️

Yes, Israel is the fifth happiest country in the world and the USA is ahead of Germany.... but who makes these rankings?

Americans, who else can not know about the rest of the world more than them? No one.

11:20 - because Germany too has all these benefits I am not German, but saw some videos made by German bloggers, and one of them said that if "complaining" was a sport, Germany would win the world cup. And who knows, what is better - to be fully grateful to what you have, or complain and search for even better conditions, even if you live better than 80-90% of the world.
