Sorry, I cannot hear you over the sound of my state funded healthcare system and minimum wage over the poverty line.
Sorry can't understand you over the sound of the US carrying Europe's defense budget.
Because, in case you didn't realise, we don't think that waging wars, hoarding nukes and "exporting freedom and democracy" is a good international policy nor a wise use of tax payers' money.
But what do I know, right? I just have low crime rates, an affordable university system and don't have to sell my kidney for a ride in an ambulance. All the while having 1 month paid vacation and a minimum salary that allows me to not live in the streets.
Sorry, I'm out of line.

It's absolutely wild that an ethnicity homogeneous country has a much more stable time than one like the us with vary sizable minorities (I am not blaming minorities however nations like Japan, France, Germany, ect all have very significant percentage of a single group and are more stable, in my experience of reading through history you should try to homogenize your country, gets a bit war crimey)
I know this is going to sound weird but you can get government healthcare if you are unable to get it in another way, it's called Medicaid.
Insane that dispite college being expensive the US has one of the highest rates of college graduation.
As for crime. Scientific studies have linked more crime to higher temperatures. And guess what the US is often significantly warmer than Europe.
Crazy what happens when you stop parroting talking points and look into it. Oh don't worry when I am old enough I will be running on a campaign for solutions to these, but America is not Europe, those solution you had need change to work here
