Uh maybe if you work at burger king or walmart as a greeter, but I assure you real jobs and hard work still pays off. It's always been that way. These idiots fry cooking at kfc at 30 years old expecting to be able to provide for a whole family are just idiots.

Nah my cousins are all on 6 figures in Silicon Valley. You can't buy a house within a 1 hour drive for anything less than a mill. Both the guys flipping burgers and the ones working high end jobs do 50 hour weeks it's just the culture.
U guys get like 5 days annual leave in a new job. We get 4 weeks standard.
Eating out is expensive too, you go to a restaurant and expect that they pay their employees properly because the prices are high, but as always you add the tax and a 15-20% tip. Imagine dinner for 4 being like $200+ in a crowded restaurant and then having to pay the waiter on behalf of the business. The tip culture is an embarrassment.
LA was really starting to get run down; lots of small businesses blocks vacant in Beverly Hills and a lot of the roads in disrepair. The century city shopping centre was being renovated to attract people and was pretty dead. Then you got like 30 000 homeless people in tents and shit on one side of the cbd.
New York is probably the favorite city. Have to say though next time I'll be hiring a car and doing a road trip, plus 3 and a half weeks is not enough time there. Need like 5-6 weeks to really experience a fair share of your large and densely populated country.
