I don’t know. There are other countries that have those properties. I am envious of Western Europe’s healthcare, social safety net, healthier food and holidays that you don’t work on.

The comment came about from the last charts show religion, patriotism, etc down while money rose. It clicked.

Grass is greener. I’m currently in Spain. I don’t have access to the public healthcare system. Don’t have access to unemployment. A third of the population can’t even afford a holiday. People are getting more obese every year. Rent is higher than minimum wage.

EU is a good place to be but some people have this overly optimistic view of the place.
