The essential difference between US and the EU, in my opinion is that the US is a much more nervous and aggressive society because you can loose everything within a day (your job, your house, your income, your pension, your healthcare etc.). While in the NL we always have a social safety net that allows you to readjust without loosing all. And that shows in all the daily behavior of the people

[@djgonpet]

Very well said.

[@cawheeler27]

You cannot lose your housing in a day in the US. If you rent and stop paying, eviction can take months. If you own and stop paying, foreclosure can take a year or more.

[@pepep4727]

And republicans call this communism😂

[@LostintheUS-2030]

​@@cawheeler27 Yes, you can. The US is one of the most racist countries standing. If someone doesn't like me in the US, due to my race, religion, sexual preference, etc, they can burn my house down. It doesn't have to be about money. Racism is global. However, death or loss of property due to racism, isn't as prevalent globally like it is in the US.

[@MuscleMan909]

@@cawheeler27evictions can happen anywhere from five days to 30 days max. I’ve witnessed landlords toss tenants stuff out after the 45 day deadline. Tenants can’t do anything about it. Depending on the bank foreclosures can be very scary. If you miss a day all types of late fees get added on to the mortgage which causes all types of money issues, which means foreclosures can happen within 90 days

I visited a few countries in Europe in the past 2 years (I have a German friend in Germany), and I love the public transit. I love how walkable most of the places are. At first, my boyfriend had a hard time walking because he wasn't used to it while I was, since I'm originally from the city and I've always walked, even here in the suburbs. It was great being able to walk down the road to the supermarket in Munich to get what we needed. We didn't know it was there until we arrived.

I live in Germany and I am thankful for that every single day. I raised my kids in a society where they could just go to school on the other end of the city, simply taking public transportation, right now we live on the country side and our youngest (16) still goes to school. She needs to take the train to the nearest city as there she goes to school. No issues here, if the train doesn´t arrive in time, she can just take the bus, maybe she´ll be a bit late, but the school doesn´t fuss about this. My two sons (21 and 17) moved out recently, to different cities, around 1 two 2 hours away from home, to start their vocational trainings. Thought, they don´t get paid as much as they will, when their training is over, they still can afford to live in other cities and don´t have to stay at home. We, as the parents, only pay a relatively small amount to support them, they can afford the rest on their own. Nver in my time as a mother did I had to fear my kids could get injured or killed in a school shooting and I still can´t wrap my head around the idea and how terrible it must be for parents over there in the US. Health insurance... my two youngest both have ADHD (so have I), we all get our medication prescribed and need to get them from the pharmacy. For kids under 18 it is free, FREE. We do not pay a Cent for the medication. My medication (which is basically the same my kids get, just for adults) I have to pay a fee... it is 5 Euros... 5 Euros for prescribed medicine. The high blood pressure medication my husband takes every day... 5€ he has to pay out of his own pocket. For our kids, it is free as long as it is prescribed by a doctor. Which leads me to another point in health ensurance: my two youngest went to the Worlds Scout Jamboree last year, which happened in South Korea in the Summer. They needed to get several vaccinations for this, which did cost roundabout 2000 Euros in total. We paid this on our own, sent the receipt to our health ensurance and got a refund over 1800€. Simply as that. Yes, I am bragging about this, because you guys in the US need to understand what this really means: Freedom and less worries. When we get sick, we just go to the doctor. If I can´t work because I got sick, I just call in sick. My employer can´t do anything about it and wouldn´t anyways. They cannot kick me out... if I get sick during my vacation I just need a doctors notice and my employer refunds me the vacation days I was sick to take my vacation another time.... Another freedom we have here. We won´t turn homeless just because we lost our job or got sick... I feel sorry for everyone that lives with the constant fear of losing everything at any given moment....

[@fatherson5907]

And I am extremely grateful that I don’t live in the third world cesspool known as the EU. The people there are so ignorant that they believe that things they pay for through crippling taxes are “free” Instead, I had access to the best university systems in the world, the strongest economy of any country (by far), a booming employment market, low taxes, a strong investment market, and many other robust systems. I have two beautiful homes and laugh at the peasants in Germany who can’t even afford the basics like heating and air conditioning. I laugh at our enemies in Germany who beg us for protection and would rather toss them to Vlad.

Hi Jordan, when I saw this video I wanted to see what you said and I'm so glad I watched it. I've watched some other videos before of some youtubers who said the same thing. Some are in Colombia, Thailand etc. I found your video very refreshing and interesting, and I loved the scenery while you were walking. I've been subscribed for a while but had lost touch. (TBH I didn't like the swearing, so I had stopped, but your topic interested me😆). And there was no swearing! lol. I'm going to try and catch up on some of your previous videos especially those when you left the US. 😊Oh, I forget to add that I'm from the twin islands of Trinidad & Tobago, and I have a friend from Trinidad who migrated a few years ago to the Netherlands! So that also intrigued me.

[@theinvestorssquad8752]

If you come from a bigger city in the US moving to Europe can get a bit boring eventually. I moved from San Diego to Belgium so close to the border that I’m always in the Netherlands and even then there’s rarely anything going on once you’ve seen everything. Another thing you don’t mention is that unless you have some technical degree or already have a stable source of income it will be very hard to find a job that is not factory work or cleaning work. Making friends with locals is difficult as most already have their social circle from Highschool and tend to stick with that. They tend to be more of acquaintances than actual friends. Tax is a lot higher here as well. And the weather is rainy and cold most of the year which in time you will see a lot of the depressed people. There’s also positives to living there, I’m just saying for all the people considering moving who never lived here before to don’t move for love because you’ll easily be blind sited.

Hi! In the U.S if you make less than $130k you qualify for marketplace health insurance (Aka the affordable care act/“obamacare”) For example my mom makes $50k and she only pays $19 a month on this plan. You don’t have to go to private insurance. Overall tho I completely agree with your point, healthcare shouldn’t be a business or else insurance companies main goal will always be to maximize profits and not the health of citizens.

[@markeeecmarkoni2855]

The entire European Union is quite similar , which of course does not make up the whole of Europe, but I, for example, come from Croatia (near Italy, Austria, Germany) and we are not the most developed country in the EU, but indeed we all live a similar lifestyle(Perhaps in Croatia we are most similar to Italian culture ) The biggest difference in average salaries The Netherlands cca 3000euros and Croata half od that But many things are cheaper here too also.....And if I want to earn more money, I pack my things and tomorrow I can come look for a job in Germany or the Netherlands and I don't need any visas iam free to go bec we are all part of EU In Croatia also the standard is constantly rising, wages are constantly rising because we were the last country who join the European Union. Honestly, I would never leave Europe for a better life in America

18:08 those aren't bike lanes, roughly translated they're cycling suggestion lanes or fietssuggestiestroken. Bike lanes are fully segregated here and cars can't legally drive on them, there they can. When road work needs to be done and you need to close off a bike lane you're lawfully required to have an alternative route for bikes, usually closing off one car lane for cyclists. When there's a fietssuggestiestrook you aren't required to do that.

[@halapunjete]

When I was your age, I had the same perspective. But once you hit your 30s and 40s, your outlook will change dramatically, I guarantee it. The first thing you’ll notice at that stage is the significant pay gap between you and your counterparts in the USA. You've mentioned engineers and urban planners earning 300k as a figure of speech, but the reality is quite stark. I'm an engineer in the Netherlands earning far less than 100k, while my classmates from college back in the USA are making between 100k to 300k for the exact same job. When you're earning that kind of money, the higher cost of health insurance isn't an issue because you have enough income to cover it, not to mention the substantial disposable income available in the USA compared to the Netherlands. As you start a family and enter your 30s and 40s, convenience becomes a major factor. At that point, you’ll realize how advantageous it is to have a large US suburban home with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a two-car garage, separate family and living rooms, a dining area, a basement, central AC, and a spacious yard for family events or kids’ parties, something that’s often out of reach for the average person in the Netherlands. When Saturday comes around, you’ll appreciate the time saved by doing one Costco run or a quick Walmart visit at 11pm in your Lincoln Navigator, a luxury that’s nearly unaffordable in the Netherlands. I completely understand where you're coming from now, but as the saying goes, "never say never." In 10 or 15 years, when you see how your family and friends in the USA have progressed due to the opportunities available to them, sending pictures from lavish vacations at Sandals Resorts in St. Lucia while you’re stuck in Noord Brabant in a row house, driving a Fiat Panda and earning just enough to get by, you might find yourself reconsidering. That’s life in the Netherlands.

[@Jan-xh5ee]

Exactly, after spending several years living and working in Europe, I'm returning to the US, but with a new perspective on life. I also leave the possibility open to returning to the EU in the future. Nothing is set in stone and I like it that way, free to choose whatever path fits me in that stage of life.😊

[@ShanuWral]

Life long American here. Making more $ does not a good quality of life make when u r surrounded by homelessness, mental illness, mass shootings & crime. If the only thing that matters to u is financial largesse please do come to America. This is the place for u. Sometimes people don't know how good they have it until what they have is lost. Dutchies should b encouraged to come to America so they can see the reality of this place. Some Dutchies will stay but I bet u most will gladly return to the Netherlands high taxes & all.

[@torstenheling3830]

Great comment. Age really is a decisive factor. At 24, you’ve normally got just about the best of everything that life’s got to offer, wherever you live: health (which is really just about everything), lots of years ahead of you to chart your path in life and find where you’re happiest and feel you fit in. Just don’t commit the sin of squandering time, like so many people do. Those years pass by really fast. On the issue of age, the KZbinr mentioned health insurance and it’s high cost in the U.S., which is obvious. I’m a big believer in healthcare coverage for people of all ages, but this fellow mentioned he hasn’t been to a doctor in 10 years, since he was 14. So, I rather doubt he’d make too much use of health insurance, or has a pressing ongoing need for doctors (absent some accident) at his age. Later he’ll be much more dependent on them. But, time, at least for now, is on his side.
