americans have enormous social welfare, if you're poor you get free healthcare, food stamps, a lot of other stuff. nobody is actually hungry or left without health care in america, that's just european propaganda. healthcare is also better quality than in europe. one thing america has that europe really doesn't are big crowds of homeless drug addicts on the street. there's a shitload of programs for homeless to stop being homeless, the only ones who keep being homeless are either drug addicts or mentally ill. food quality is incredibly worse in america. general safety sucks. so you could argue that those factors outweigh the poverty. > also you don't have to own a car in europe while in the us you have to in most places, so poor people can save lots of money just by not having a car. it's borderline free to have a car in the us. gasoline is super cheap. it's not an actual issue for anyone. it's also a massive living advantage as any trip is 3-4x faster in a car compared to public transport.
