Quite funny: you're more describing the US than Europe. Maybe because you're only interested by US and not by Europe..? ;-)

This must be the harsh side of the US. In Europe, the differences are almost neglectable.

If you're in the US this attitude is understandable, but in Europe, not so much.

In Europe. Any similarities to the situation in the US are accidental.

Compare the US to the EU, not any of the countries within it.

From what I read, this is very different between the US and Europe.

This sounds very US centric. In the EU things work differently.

That's true in the US. For many in Europe, it's the other way around.

EU is more Europe than USA is America, yet you don't see much complaining about the latter.
