[quote=Anonymous]It is a bit of a caricature, but there is definitely some truth to it. Car dependency, and all that entails, is one of the original sins here. The live to work mentality is another. As a European I was shocked by the attitude to vacations when I moved here. I know people that earn a million dollars a year and have never taken a foreign holiday- or even any type of holiday beyond visiting family or going to the beach for five days a year. They live like dogs, billing the 2300 hours a year. The mortality stats are horrible here. All-cause mortality is so much higher for every category- suicide, overdose, traffic deaths, gun violence. But, it is increasingly richer, so there is that. But clearly wealth is not buying happiness.[/quote]
