Uk twitter discussing how Americans live a subpar life

[Sukairain]

I've been to both, and London is the considerably more liveable city. That being said all of these major cities in all leading economies around the world are garbage. New York is the used up coffee beans, London is last night's food, Paris is the mouldy loaf of bread, Tokyo is the used female hygiene product. They all belong in the bin together and it's only a matter of degrees by which one item in the bin is less objectionable than the other

Large towns/small cities are the way to go. Places with no more than 750,000 population or so. In them we find many of the conveniences of the major urban centres but with few of the inconveniences and hardships that come with living in the big cities

I rather live in the US vs UK.

Outside of nyc and the DMV I’d rather live in London

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Mostly shytty takes. His main takeaways were that NYC is dirty and the infrastructure is bad, because less taxes.

And he’s right! And that’s why we’re a better country than the UK we don’t tax the fukk outta our citizens so we keep more of our capital. We’re entrepreneurs in this bytch. If you wanna work 3 1/2 days out the week and go live off in a quiet English village when you’re old, then yeah go to Europe.

We capitalism in this bytch

Sorry you don’t like our public transport lil british boy I whip my Lexus throughout Atlanta and I do just fine

Atl not really all that being honest, the fact y’all have no side walks is crazy

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Why would we not defend our country?
And America is the best country to be if you are poor.
You think a poor person in london live as good as a poor american

Surprised yes, their social programs outclasses America by far

 

[Cynic]

America provides security for Europe, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Japan, and South Korea.

It also guarantees safe ocean travel and transport

if these countries were forced to pay for their own security, they would be looking like Ukraine

That security is self serving and keeps military personnel employed and defense stock prices high.

If they had to pay for their own security the you're looking at less revenues for defense companies and a lot trained and unemployed military personnel roaming the U.S.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

It’s gotta be some dumbass overseas saying this dumb shyt. Blame the fukked up system. That shyt is death by design, and that shyt needs to change so it can benefit people and not these politicians or corporations. They wish they had it like the cities in the United States.

Economic wise maybe but everything else nah not really

Im confused. Despite the high taxes, New York still shyts on UK in every category.

Better food
Better women
More cultures
Better weather
Better scenary
More tourists
More activities.

So what are we talking about again?

i don’t know about better women, activities, and culture lol, they might have y’all beat Lowkey.

I’ve lived in both places so not sure I can agree with you on half of those

 

[Bumblebreh]

The problem with this country is that they go through months of going back n forth when it comes to things that will help citizens, cry broke and cut programs on the federal level, then when it’s time to cape for other countries like Ukraine, they suddenly find billions in a matter of days

Same thing is happening in the uk.

What wartime damage? It's under ground. Hence the name.

My initial post said 'infrastructure'. YOU moved it to the subway and if you think the subways weren't damaged during the war......

[FlyRy]

Yeah but MTA just started doing tap 2 go in the subways and buses called omny

as far as paying with crypto or chase pay in other places we do have the nfc tap in our cards

That's my point. Even their buses stopped taking cash in 2014. We still can't decide if we should swipe or insert

 

[rantanamo]

Arguing over two places growing more conservative by the say, Whoopdie do.

 

[Edub]

Fukk dude…..but as a whole we could spruce things up a bit

Better food - debatable, London food scene up there globally. It’s British food that’s poor
Better women - I’ll say NYC on this
More cultures - Debatable as well. London is still a global city and financial center. I might even say London here because the cultures you find there are actually more authentic, especially the Europeans.
Better weather - Yes to this. London rains far too much.
Better scenary - Also debatable, I’d actually say London. More greenery and parks, much cleaner as well.
More tourists - Probably NYC but not by too much
More activities. - Also debatable, LDN and NYC are similar in the draw they have. NYC might take the edge in that the sheer volume of it’s population make it a landing stop for people who want to test out a concept before rolling out to other cities

Before the whole "SafeTrack" bullshyt a few years ago, WMATA operating hours for the Metro trains ended 1:30 am Sun-Thu and 3:30 am Fri-Sat. We've been insisting on WMATA to bring back those hours…

They really need to do so. That late night train was vital for weekend activities.

The UKs contactless payment system put ours to shame

I think NYC just got the tap 2 go recently. London has had em for at least 7-8 yrs.

I do like that systems like BART and WMATA have the contactless on Apple Pay.

That security is self serving and keeps military personnel employed and defense stock prices high.

If they had to pay for their own security the you're looking at less revenues for defense companies and a lot trained and unemployed military personnel roaming the U.S.

This. All of this. The military complex in the US is privatized so there’s need to keep growing. Had it been in the hands of the federal government the US would have probably capped out its military expenditure a long time ago.

black ppl in America are in much better shape all of the other western black ppl

Blacks in Sweden, Canada, Norway. And Germany deal with less institutional racism and have higher life expectancy and education than the US. You smoking.

Calling majority of black ppl there are poor Muslim refugees

black ppl jus live off welfare in places like Canada and Europe and dont own anything at least America has an actual black middle class

notice how Africans who want a good future career move to the US and it's mostly the broke azz ones living off social housing moving to Europe
