An American man has gone viral after listing all of the ways that Britain is better than the US. As per the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9291767/American-spent-years-living-UK-shares-things-liked-best-pond.html" rel="nofollow">Daily Mail</a>, Imgur-user Chimichanga007 was born and raised in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but he has also lived in California, Chicago, New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut. However, he <a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/02JZrSq" rel="nofollow">explained</a> that after living in the UK for a few years he has "survivor's guilt after experiencing living in a sane country compared to America." Since making the post on Tuesday (February 23), it has been viewed more than 100,000 times. <img class="wp-image-1263096176 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-16.59.55.png" alt="An Imgur post." width="712" height="645" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Imgur]] "I come from a poor family," he wrote. "I got the chance to live and work in the UK for a couple of years. Love it. "If you're not obscenely rich, [the] UK is like a utopia compared to [the] USA," he wrote in a lengthy post beneath the meme. "I want this for my country," he added. He explained that British employees get "tons of paid holiday at every job," namely <a href="https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights#:~:text=Almost%20all%20workers%20are%20legally,leave%20entitlement%20or%20annual%20leave)." rel="nofollow">5.6 weeks paid time off</a>, whereas, in the US, employees are entitled to none - although it is offered by some employers as a benefit. Chimichanga007 also <a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/02JZrSq" rel="nofollow">praised</a> the "free ATMs everywhere," and the "modern and plentiful public transit" in the UK. The American man also made a point of praising the NHS, the access Britons have to quality produce and groceries, and police that are not "lunatic power trippers". <img class=" wp-image-1263096177 aligncenter" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-17.02.10.png" alt="" width="652" height="433" /> "Went to the ER and I got emotional because they treated me like a human being and I wouldn't go into debt," he said, adding that "getting emotional makes them embarrassed tho so don't recommend." "[There's a] feeling that's hard to explain but imagine you know that everyone you know, your neighbors, random strangers, kids, moms, grannies, everyone you see everyday is covered and can go free to a doctor or ER, taking care of each other [sic]," he added. As per <a href="https://www.indy100.com/offbeat/american-uk-comparison-imgur-meme-b1806715">Indy100</a>, people in the comments section were quick to agree with the man, with one writing: "Worker rights in North America (including Canada) are appalling." A second added: "Spent 5yrs in Scotland & i totally agree! Even at its worst the UK is eons ahead of the US."
