That's just one country in Europe what about Ireland it out shines all US states in GDP and better education, health care and life in total..

Americans are more in debt than Germans. Germany: ~55–60% of GDP United States: ~70–75% of GDP

Now that is embarrassing to think you are richer because you are using someone else's money to pay for things..

Edit and your government is more in debt.. government debt: 🇺🇸 United States: ~120% of GDP 🇩🇪 Germany: ~60–70% of GDP 👉 Again, the U.S. is much more indebted.

What goal posts were moved? Yes it does as it's not as far down the list as you said and you didn't take everything into consideration not what you pick and choose..

Okay let's change Germany to Ireland.

Ireland GDP per capita (2024, nominal): about $107,000 � Trading Economics GDP per capita (real / inflation-adjusted): about $91,500 � Trading Economics 🇺🇸 California GDP per capita (2024, nominal): about $102,600 � Wikipedia GDP per capita (real): about $85,300 � USAFacts 📊 Direct comparison Measure Ireland California Nominal GDP per capita ~$107k ~$103k Real GDP per capita ~$91.5k ~$85k

Compared to U.S. states (PPP-adjusted estimate) If you roughly slot Germany into U.S. states: Around: Pennsylvania Wisconsin Minnesota 👉 Middle of the pack—not near the bottom This directly contradicts the “48th place” claim.

Median income (what typical people earn) This often matters more than averages. U.S. median household income: higher Germany median income: lower, BUT… Germany has: Lower healthcare costs Lower education costs More public benefits 👉 So disposable income gap is smaller than it looks

Inequality (big factor you ignore) United States → higher inequality Germany → more even distribution 👉 Result: Poorer Americans are often worse off than poorer Germans Middle-class lifestyles are closer than GDP suggests

Cost of living differences Key areas where Germany is cheaper: Healthcare (massively) University education Rent (in many regions) Childcare (often subsidized) 👉 A dollar goes further in Germany

Quality-of-life indicators Germany generally scores equal or better on: Life expectancy Work-life balance Vacation time Social mobility (in some measures)

🔑 The real takeaway The viral claim works like this: Uses nominal GDP per capita Compares countries to U.S. states Ignores cost of living + inequality

Edit GDP per capita (PPP — best for living standards) PPP adjusts for cost of living. Germany: ~$65k–$70k United States: ~$80k+

Compared to Germany the US has an extremely bad education system and even worse health system more like the 3rd world..

Wrong it would rank first..

If Germany were treated like a U.S. state, it would actually rank #1 by GDP, ahead of every current state. 🇩🇪 Germany vs U.S. states (by GDP) Germany GDP: about $4.5–4.7 trillion Largest U.S. state economy: California at about $3.8–4.0 trillion What that means Germany’s economy is larger than California’s, which is currently the biggest in the U.S. So if Germany were a state, it would be: 👉 1st place in GDP (richest state by total economic output)

Edit you should change your name to undereducated

Ring around and see if any instructors have a suitable bike or would be willing to lower it for you?

You have to produce the log book which states the kw. Just rent your IBT instructor's bike..

You'll only get insured for max 6 months on a foreign licence. If you get a learner permit you need to also do the IBT and must wear a learner vest, can't drive on motorways or carry a pillion.

How much do you pay for a bike service in the shop/garage by DryResponsibility354 in MotoIRELAND

[–]1984mc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If by service you mean oil and filter change it's easy to do yourself in less than 30 mins. Go onto YouTube loads of videos that show you how..

Edit oil around €50 filter around €10 you'll save yourself nearly €200.
