European:
All right, I have 5 weeks of paid vacation per year. Last year I went to Spain and China, this year I might go to Brazil and Morocco. And I will squeeze 10 days skiing in Alps in January.
American:
I got 2 weeks of unpaid holiday, fuck yeah, so cant wait to visit my friends in Maryland. Its gonna be long trip from Oregon for sure. But its worth it, every year for the past 5 years it has been a great trip.
European:
I feel a bit hot. I should probably have to go to see a doctor? (Goes and sees a doctor free of a charge in one of the best hospitals in the world)
American:
I feel like shit, but I cant go to see a doctor, I dont have an insurance.
I feel like shit, but I cant go to see a doctor because its my 3rd time this year, and next time I will have to pay 500$ just to speak with him.
(Goes to the doctor) - Okay, Mr. Smith its nothing serious, you have a headache. Just have a rest and drink lot of water and one Aspirin. The bill is 1000$. Have a nice day.
European:
Omg, have you heard - that guy from 3000km from here robed a store with a knife. Where is this world going to????
American:
-Hey mom, can you pass me the salt please… Oh, have you hears 50 kids were shot today in that school in Arizona/Miami/NY/Alabama/Ilinois,Oregon…

歐洲人：我每年有5周時間的帶薪休假。去年我去了西班牙和中國，今年我可能去西班牙和摩洛哥。我會在1月份安排10天時間去阿爾卑斯山滑雪。
美國人：我有兩周時間的帶薪休假，等不及要去馬里蘭看我的朋友了。從俄勒岡出發(fā)，這將是一段漫長的旅行。但是很值得，過去5年來我每年都這么干，非常棒的體驗。

歐洲人：我感覺有點熱。我可能需要去看醫(yī)生？（去世界上最好的醫(yī)院看醫(yī)生，免費的）
美國人：我感覺糟糕透了，但是我不能去看醫(yī)生，我沒有保險；我感覺很不好，但是我不能去看醫(yī)生，因為這是我今年第三次看醫(yī)生，下一次我和醫(yī)生講話就需要支付500美元了。去看了醫(yī)生，沒問題，史密斯先生，不是什么大問題，就是頭痛。你只需要好好休息，多喝水，吃一片阿司匹林。費用1000美元，祝你愉快。

歐洲人：天啊，你們聽說了嗎，3000公里外的某個家伙持刀搶劫商店，這個世界到底怎么了？
美國人：嘿，媽媽，你能把鹽給我遞過來嗎？哦，等等，你聽說了嗎，今年某個州的某所學校有50名學生被槍擊了。

they are run by a person who doesn’t listen to the people in the slightest
For Europeans, they are referring to Mr. Trump who appears to be representing 50% of the US population and calling the other 50% “idiotic” and “Anti-American”
For Americans, we often see this from the outside. We look at Spain and see how their leader denies Catalonia’s 90% approval of separation. We see France’s government deny the population the right to a free market on gas (despite the majority of people wanting this).
Their laws endanger lives and hurt their populations
In Europe, they look at America’s gun control laws and see a backwards society. To them, America’s loose gun laws is endangering the populations. Most European countries has stricter gun laws (or more educated populaces) and see our laws as hurting the American people.
For Americans, we look at crazy laws like GDPR and Article 13 (“Meme” Ban) as ways of hurting their population. It denies the basic right to a free market as, as Americans, we see this as hurting our populations.
→ Why do Europeans seem to think they are so much better than America?
The same reason Americans think they are better than Europeans.

他們的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一點都不傾聽人民的心聲。
對于歐洲人而言，他們指的是川普，他代表著美國一半的人口，稱另外一半的美國人是白癡和反美的。
對于美國人而言，我們看到了西班牙，認為他們的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人否決了90%的加泰羅尼亞人所提出的獨立請求，我們看到了法國政府不讓人們對天然氣進行自由的交易（盡管大部分的法國人想要）。
他們的法律危害生命并且傷害自己的人口。

歐洲人看到了美國的槍支法律，認為美國是一個落后的社會。對于歐洲人而言，美國寬松的槍支法律正在危害自己的人口。大部分的歐洲國家擁有更嚴格的槍支法律。
而美國人看到了歐洲是實行的《通用數(shù)據(jù)保護條例》和13條，認為這傷害了歐洲人口。它否決了人們進入自由市場的基本權(quán)利，作為美國人我們認為這傷害了歐洲人口。
所以為什么歐洲人認為自己比美國好呢？
出于同樣的原因，美國人認為他們比歐洲人好。

Imagine you live in a place where, if you get sick, you go to the hospital. You never worry about whether you can afford it, because that’s just not a thing. Old people, kids, common working folks. They get sick, they just go to the hospital.
Now you learn that in the USA, it’s not like that. Healthcare is only for people who can afford it. Lose your job and get sick? You might just die. Have a lower-status job? No health insurance. Even with a decent job, deductibles might bankrupt you.
How do you suppose would you view the USA?
Imagine watching Breaking Bad from that perspective, btw. The basic premise, that a schoolteacher with cancer can’t get care, makes no sense whatsoever in the civilized world. In the civilized world, a teacher with cancer goes to hospital, gets care, gets on with their life. But we’re more concerned with money than with our own people’s lives. We look like fucking savages.

想象一下你生活在某個地方，如果你生病了，你去醫(yī)院看病。你永遠不用擔心自己是否負擔得起，因為那不是個問題。老年人，小孩子，普通工薪階層。他們生病了，就去醫(yī)院看病。
可是你發(fā)現(xiàn)在美國不是這樣的。醫(yī)保只有負擔得起的人才享受得到。事業(yè)并生病了？你可能會死。擁有一份差勁的工作？公司不給提供醫(yī)保。即使你擁有一份體面的工作，你也可能因為生病而破產(chǎn)。所以你會怎么看美國？
可以從這個角度來看待《絕命毒師》。這部美劇的前提是一位老師得了癌癥無法獲得醫(yī)保，這在文明世界是不可想象的。在文明世界，得癌癥的老師就去醫(yī)院看病，獲得治療，然后繼續(xù)生活。但是我們更在乎金錢而不是我們?nèi)嗣竦男悦Ｎ覀兛雌饋砭拖袷且靶U人。
