As an American that's been living in Germany for three decades I say that Americans are seeing the truth that its not that free in the US and it's dangerous and very expensive and loud and more stressful than living in Germany or many other European countries.
-
Germany has a healthcare system focused on making people healthy. The US have a healthcare industry focused on making healthcare providers wealthy. That’s the difference.
-
That’s so wholesome for me as a German to hear, because I never think about my country this way.
-
good interviews, thank you. 'work to live' or 'live to work' yes, that really makes a difference.

The Germans, Dutch, Danes, etc. have the right idea about work-life-balance for sure! The fact about health care is we all pay…one way or another. In the states, we pay for good health care and subsidize the poor with Welfare and Medicaid. In Europe, they just have higher taxes…so again…they all pay. However, with those higher taxes in the countries I mentioned, they also get sick days, vacation days, maternity and paternity leave, and better unemployment. I think they get more for their taxes. IMO! Great video!

I lived in Germany for 12 years, 3 as a civilian and 9 in the Army. The best aspects of Germany, imho, are the health and dental care, opportunities for travel, especially by rail, cleanliness, culture and safety.

"Ciao" is 100% Italian, the Germans use It commonly for the friendness with Italy.

As a European, I can write that the Americans have 19th century capitalism and the EU has capitalism from the second half of the 20th century. The American only works all the time and even if he buys something for entertainment, he has no time to use it (it is for a show for the neighbor). Europeans work so that in their free time they can use the money they earn for their pleasures and use the things they worked for . I can't imagine not having 30 days of vacation a year. I have in the contract that 15 days are allocated for summer holidays and the next 15 days are winter holidays starting on December 22 and I return to work in January after the new year. I spend all this Christmas time with my family and I get paid. On top of that, there are probably 10 more public holidays in a year

The US, where people refuse an ambulance because it costs 3000$ 🤣
-
That Californian lady doesn’t have much of an idea of how healthcare for all works, eh? There was no bill for that bike incident victim in France because in France, everybody pays.
-
I was shocked at how much better Germany does SO many things. Work-life balance... capitalism-socialism balance... healthcare... low crime/safe streets... public transportation... child-raising... I could list a hundred other things. The longer I am here, in Germany, the more the USA looks like a third-world country.

Heavenly chapter and awesome interview. .
-
5:33 - she has not really understood the german system cause she has still the focus on what she gets. The german system forces most to pay in general. Key point in the US are the extreme high costs, a doctor can take what he wants if the patient signs the contract. And every single participant along the healtcare systems acts like a looter, looting the ill and weak.

Was waiting for this video

3:00 with the time difference, her daughter in NYC can actually sleep longer instead of getting up earlier. 😂 When it's 9am in NYC, it's only 6am in Seattle. Time zones seem rocket science for a lot of people, smh 🤦

3:50 die zwei dudes im Hintergrund mit dem Kasten und jeweils einem Bier in der Hand haben mich komplett gekillt hahah xD

As a Pakistani I fully support love and respect Germany and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂. Best regards from Pakistan 🙂.

Really sorry for the lateness on this, we had a few issues with communication. But we are heading back next weekend! ;)

I was born and live in Munich and there are indeed many english speaking people there! At university even some exercise classes are in English - which I find quite good becaus you can learn the terminology of math and IT very well!

My grandmother once told me that many Germans emigrated to the USA after the war. Many Germans then came back to Germany from the USA. Most of them had no teeth afterwards. A sign of poor health care.
