Uh, it’s like comparing the best life you could have in Western Europe with the worst life you could have in American suburbs.
It’s no different from comparing an American surgeon earning 400k yearly in Manhattan to a person surviving in Belarus or Albania. Same bias but flipped in opposite direction.
Both comparisons would be unfair.
I am not saying life is worse in the EU than in the US, but there are many better ways to argue that more logically using data.
See, what you’re not getting is that the average US experience is just incredibly fucking mid. I live in Canada, specifically Montréal because the rest of the country is very much like the US. Cars are the only way to get around, you can’t even safely and confidently ride a bicycle in most North American cities.
The best the US has to offer is worse than pretty good but not the best in the EU. The worst the EU has to offer is nowhere near as bad as a fairly common, even if not universal, experience in the states.
Nothing from of either of our comments even fuckin’ matters though because this post is specifically calling out the people who think sitting in traffic “freedom” but 15 minute cities are tyrannical overreach.
Taking a train to work isn’t a luxury only afforded to the 1%, not only are they a better experience, trains are cheaper than driving in most of the world.
Ikr. People aspire to get cars so they don’t have to take the fucking stupid ass unreliable public transportation. Back in my day the only people who relied on public transportation were poor people, retards and immigrants but I guess with the mental health crisis and the economy tanking, we’re all poor retards.

“Best life” is when one has to commute to work by train?

Pretty sure it is about the Alps and the wine.
Didn’t have wine every day when I went to school by train.
Fair enough, although I thought OP was talking about just general travel, while the guy I’m responding to made it about commuting.
