It's funny how even Germans watching this tent to find it funny, listening to a guy stating nothing but clear facts. Talking about the "travel cancellation insurance", Vince forgot to mention the hardest part of negotiating it, that is to define the exact terms of the Reiserücktrittsversicherungsausschlussklauseln (the travel cancellation insurances' exclusion clauses); the mere thought of having spent time, effort and money, for something like an insurance and then not beinig able to benefit from it because some details had been overseen is sheer horror to Germans and something they fear more the death !

[@xyzsame4081]

Meanwhile the American citizens - and business owners - brood over their health insurance plans, try to find the least shitty one (they are getting ripped off left, right and center. As a nation they spend double per person compared to most other wealthy countries). Companies that MUST offer a plan, change the plans (coverage) all the time. They are often forced to, if the insurance does not think the client (company) is profitable they raise premiums, co-pays, deductibles until the company gives up (the insurance companies intends to "fire" the company, but they cannot openly send them a letter that they want them to get lost because one employee (or a family member) happens to have a costly or ongoing treatment. Might be against the law, and would be so bad PR that politicians might be needed to react. 8I heard that from Wendell Potter, whistleblower on the industry). So every year (or inbetween even, the insurers and employers can make those changes as they want) American citizens have to reassess which doctors are in the "network" which their insurance plans - currently - covers. Not conscious after an accident and the "wrong" ambulance got you in the "wrong" hospital ? There comes the suprise bill, never mind that you "had insurance". Can be a few thousand dollars for smaller medical inervention. X-rays, fixing a broken bone A cesarian costs around 10,000 USD in a first world nation, and 30,000 in the U.S. (on average). Well it does not "cost" 30,000 USD (running a hospital in Japan, Frane or the U.S. cannot be that different, not how they organize it and not the budgets they need), but that is what is BILLED. Bill over USD 800 for use of the wrong ambulance company would not be extraordinary. Another story that Wendell Potter mentioned. A woman fell into a gap at the underground or she stumbled. She hurt her leg badly she had a cut on her leg from some sharp metal. The bone showed, so quite severe. She cried out of pain, while other people tried to help her - and begged them to NOT call an ambulance, because she could not afford the costs.

[@xyzsame4081]

I'd take the booking of travel cancellation insurance every day over handling U.S. health insurance (even more security for the consumer, for a voluntary ! planned contract for a luxury product). The travel agencies tend to offer it as a given for higher priced contracts: It is a little more revenue for them AND the customers will not mind paying, but will be thankful that the agency nudged them to book it, IF they need it. That is a win / win for the industry. And if the travel is not costly but the person just about can afford it (the big once a year joy) - then it also makes sense to secure your position so to speak. Germans have the reputation of travelling a lot, and if you spend some money on the contract, and the insurance (if you cannot fulfill the contract does not cost that much) - Why not ? Americans are coaxed to insure their expensive smartphones (especially lower income people use that). Sure they lose a few hundred bucks if they drop it and it breaks beyond repair, but the insurance seems to be quite expensive (considering the maximum damage / cost of insurance ratio). Booking travel cancellation insurance for a planned pricey vacation is a good problem (expenditure) to have.

It's not so much a lisp and more having problems to pronounce the th and voiced consonants in general, especially if they aren't followed by a vowel. It's mainly the older Germans though, generation 50+, who still have that thick cliche accent replacing the th by a straight on s without noticing it. Germans who started learning English already as as children in school usually have a less prominent accent and can pronounce a th.

The one about "how are you" is also relatable for me as a Russian. In Russia, we too ask others how are they doing, and they, of course, may reply with "I'm doing fine, thanks", but it would be considered impolite if the one who asked is your close friend or a relative. Because if you don't tell them, like, a whole bunch of stuff that happened to you in the near past, that would mean you don't trust that person, you don't want to talk to them and don't want to share your news with them. So, when asked "how are you doing?", we tend to *actually* reply by telling the one who asked about our life, our work, our family, our plans etc. P.S.: of course it doesn't work for everyone, it's not a rule. Just a tendency I noticed.

[@spaceowl5957]

That’s not true, I’m Germany we also say “wie läufts” or “wie gehts” just as a greeting, and in France they say “ca va” as a greeting. The only thing weird about the American way is that it’s this whole ritual of “how are you? I’m fine thanks how are you? I’m good thanks!” Where as in Germany we just say “Hey how are you?” And the answer is just “Hi!” Or whatever. There’s not this codified series of phrases. But other than that it’s the same. Like if someone in Germany tells me their life story when we just greeted each other that would be weird as well.

The Reiserücktrittversicherung, are you mad? The most important thing is the Reisekrankenversicherung!!!

[@noellewest4347]

As a US passport holder who has lived in 6 countries, I am convinced that Germans are more intelligent on their worst day than we (Americans) could ever hope to be on our best day. This does not mean that they have more common sense and flexibility in problem-solving, but they are literally like a different species when it comes to intelligence of any kind. After living here for the past two plus years, I think part of this is due to the fact that Germans are actual grownups. America just cannot seem to grow out of its adolescence, and the culture and people in that country really do reflect this.
