Yes, totally, everywhere else jobs, houses and wives are assigned for life by a central planning agency. In America, in the meantime, only the Ubermenschen get them.
America is such a hopeless place. The only mystery that remains is why people from “everywhere else” are so desperate to move to this horrible, brutal America by the million while the movement from America to everywhere else is really minimal.
What I keep saying about the eternal adolescence being the most coveted persona is confirmed every day.

What a lot of these folks don’t realize is that the US is a more open society with lots of fluidity, the downside being that stuff is not guaranteed. In a lot of European countries, success and jobs often comes down to who or whom you know rather than merit, but if you get hired, you’ll have a mediocre job for life. In the US, it’s more fluid and that scares people. Immigrants who come to the US don’t want to settle for mediocrity, they want success

Maybe. There is also a point where income inequality gets to be such a big problem that life becomes almost unbearable; we’re not there yet, but increasingly getting there.
For some reason we don’t talk about this issue anymore.

Yes. The author is delusional when it comes to it being so easy to be normal everywhere else, but there is a point about it being hard about people who are average or below to have a decent life in the States. This is the disappearance of the middle class.
