He is an American and he comes to America every year to work for six months and goes back to Mexico. I asked him if he is happy there and he told me it is better there in every way except wages. He said the best job he could get there was an auto mechanic paid $25.00 a day. He said if he could find a decent paying job there he would never wish to come back into the USA. I am sure he is not alone in that regard.
5. I have a best friend whose grandfather was German, and he said...
that he thought it was better living in Germany than it was here in the US. He said, "You've got to pay for every goddamn thing there is." The prime example is prescription pills. You can obtain them for a fraction of the cost in Europe than in the US, but I believe his example spoke more to the money-grubbing culture of the US compared to the less materialistic cultures of other countries.
