Hello, Lemmy,

I’m a US citizen, and I’ve lived in the US for my entire life. Due to recent political changes, I’m interested in living in Europe. There are some things I like about living in the US, and some things I dislike. I want to know how life in Europe compares to my experience.

Things I like:

• Independent life style
• People are friendlier in the US (or so I’ve heard from European friends)

Things I dislike:

• Car dependence (I hate the US auto industry)
• Lack of social policies that distribute wealth and decommodification of necessities (health care, public transit, pharmaceuticals, food, etc.)
• Lack of climate friendly policies
• Credentials are locked behind a huge pricetag for education
• Recent anti-intellectualism
• Mostly a lot of political things

If you have questions for me, just ask! Literally any details you can share about life are helpful, even down the the miniscule day-to-day goings on!

Thanks in advance!
