There’s this thing that Americans have. An old world ideal. Where they picture is all having two hour lunches and generally chilling about the place.

I'm pretty sure I saw stats saying that in EU people actually do work less than in US. For example in most EU states you get way more paid leave than in US.

I'd say it's overselling it, but there's a grain of truth to that.

some of the levels of outright poverty, both urban and rural more than challenge that in the states.

It depends. In poland where I live there are pretty much no slum districts despite being less developed than US in general.

You think Europeans are friendly? In my experience people are just people.

From what I gather US has that culture of fake friendliness, while in EU people react just more honestly. It might not be that pronounced in UK that shares more culture with US than EU.
