Americans make way more than Canadians do, they’re goods and services cost less than Canadians pay, Americans have a higher quality of life on average than Canadians, and yet Americans struggle the most out of all Western nations in feeding their children. Something isn’t right.
because all the things you mentioned come with a lot of asterisks and the abuse of the averages.
for example, a lot of the common “quality of life index” that you will find America rank highly on include things like “property price to income ratio” meaning that if you take the average income and compare it to the vast very cheap no-mans land, you end up with a way better ratio than other nations, or stuff like “climate index” that put Canada lower on the quality of life because northern Canada is cold, etc…
Tho you are wrong about the cost of living, Canada has a lower cost of living than America
Don’t forget that Americans have to pay a lot out of pocket and for more than the cannucks to the north
Americans pay for everything. The wage looks higher because it has to go towards medical bills, non subsidized food products like produce instead of corn, mangoes, and cheese.
Insurance policies are required for everything but refuse to pay out anyways so you have to cover all casts yourself anyways. No rent protections ( but man Canada is sprinting past everyone else on rent prices lately)
America makes it look glamorous and well paid but really they hand you a wad of cash and tell you to figure out everything in your own and don’t tell you by paying us all higher they actually put less back into the country than anywhere else with capitalism just a bit under control.
