This trip was different. Everything seems either equal to the pricing in the US or slightly cheaper. I hadn’t really noticed the price changes in the US over the years, so this was quite the shock.
When I arrived, I hit the local grocery store and stocked up on goods for my stay. I was expecting the total to be 2-3 times what it was. Looking at home prices, there’s significantly more affordable homes on the market compared to where I’m from.
We all know prices never come down so I can safely predict that the days of the US being more affordable than Europe are gone. So what are we left with? Gun violence, a drug epidemic, insane violence, and a fascist industrial military complex. Not good.
