    Cheap wooden houses in areas with termites

    And no insulation, so you rely on expensive AC

    Tipping

    Very large cars. You can easily fit 5 people in a small car… lol.

    Your voting system. Registering to vote? Wtf is this? Here you get your “ticket” to vote, by mail, automatically after you turn 18, a few weeks before the election date. And you are required by law to get time off, to vote, if youre otherwise unable to make it in time.

    Also paying for education… lol. Here its all free. In fact, im getting paid to study. (Not a ton but enough to get by)

      Seems like you have a few misconceptions.

      My house is definitely not cheaply built. Yes it is wooden. Termites are rarely an issue for homeowners. Different building materials have different pros and cons.

      I’ve never seen a house anywhere in the United States with no insulation.

      And you pay for education the same way we do. Taxes.

      Registering to vote is pretty normal. You might not have to because the government already has records of you and that is the same in America for a lot of people. For immigrants in Europe you still have to register!

      If you change municipality or state in Europe you might also have to register again so they have you voting in the right local elections.
