First of all, let’s try to avoid American-bashing, and stay respectful to everyone.

I’ll start: for me it’s the tipping culture. Especially nowadays, with the recent post on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world with the 40% tip, it just seems so weird to me to have to pay extra just so that menu prices can stay low.

    education.

    while supercharged in one specific field during education, general knowledge of the world outside of said field is near zero.

    and then education even ends. no real vocational training.

      The fees are crazy too. Considering how many fail out of a course and have to deal with this large debt.

        boggles my mind. buuuut europe is on a great way to fail there too. I think the swedish fully privatized school system is an utter failure…but it will take time to come to full effect. sweden is doomed.
