I’ve lived in Canada, the UK and spent some significant time at my grandparents’ place in the US, not a representative sample of the world to be sure. My point is that the USA, despite all of what it is doing wrong still gives you a significant amount of leeway to live how you want. In my experience Americans are more likely to chafe and fight against insane-bureaucracy rather than sit and take it like they do in the UK. Canada, as always, is somewhere in the middle.
