      I could start a media empire whose sole premise is mythbusting American notions about how much better life in Europe is. There's a self-loathing strain among American liberals that expresses itself (among other ways) by going on and on about some travel experience they had there.

      Usually the observation is flat out wrong or only partial in nature, not understanding the historical development that drove the differing approaches, or not seeing the hidden tradeoffs to the European way of doing things.

      I get the original vision for this thread but the first tweet was enough said. All subsequent examples are implying an uniformity that doesn’t exist. There are huge differences between the dozens of country in Europe, and even amongst the top 10, so this more of a rant I guess

      You could say the same of US states (arguably, more so), and that never keeps the Euros from opining...

          But surely there is more uniformity within a nation with its laws, frameworks and regulations, rather than across countries which are still very much not integrated in many respects? (And perhaps never will)

          Personally, I find Europe to be quite uniform. It's superficially diverse, but only within the narrow Western context. More difference between Alaska natives and Alabama Southerners and New Yorkers than you'll find in all of Europe.

          You were talking about transport, healthcare, fintech etc so I’m not sure what you’re getting at now. In any event, I respectfully disagree and believe there are differences between euro counties that run deep, but if you feel confident in your observations I won’t take that away
