<p>Safety is one topic, but this person is also discussing censorship and corruption.<p>As much as I like visiting China for leisure, I could personally never live there. I agree the healthcare and safety are great in China though. It’s the same reasons I could never live in places like Dubai or Singapore.<p>Safety is not a #1 priority for me in the places I choose to live.</p>

<p>You know, I really wanted to say in my original comment I guarantee someone will bring up grooming gangs - and sure enough.<p>Now imagine grooming gangs, in addition to police shooting and killing civilians, on top of political corruption going unchecked, police stalking, in addition to every other terrible thing you could imagine.<p>The UK isn’t perfect, but the never ending sentiment that it’s the worst in the world because there’s an issue with grooming (which is an issue nearly everywhere sadly) is foolish. Brits have such high standards that you don’t even realise how much of a privilege it is to be annoyed about only a small handful of systemic global issues.<p>You’re not afraid to walk to your local for a pint and be shot in the head by a cop or kidnapped I suppose, right?</p>

<p>My hot take on the American steak allure is more about the “cowboy” big portion fantasy that’s fairly engrained into pop culture globally. Otherwise, I wouldn’t say American cattle are superior in really any other way, and are not the best cuts globally either.<p>Switzerland I cannot speak to, but having had meats from Australia, Britain, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and Japan - a lot of places around the world have great and superior quality meats.<p>Poultry isn’t even in the conversation here, American poultry is off putting by nearly any person you ask who didn’t grow up with it.</p>

<p>Most foreigners I know are incredibly skeptical or opposed to the idea of consuming meat while in America, as it has a pretty bad global reputation for not being good quality and/or safe.<p>I’m sure fans of BBQ will argue this, but I’d say the average person who is travelling just for BBQ is not really a standard foreigner.<p>I’ve even had co-workers visit from Ireland and Germany who only trust McDonald’s while they visit, or a local pub.</p>

<p>They are pretty good in the comment sections online.<p>In the real world, they choose to engage in wars that provide political power for the underlying party in power, without having a clear goal or objective on how the war would benefit the average U.S. person. This becomes more and more apparent as they continue to lose, until it’s viewed as a “success” by an invented exit criteria at the 11th hour.</p>

<p>You’re underestimating how much Apple Legal goes after anyone and everyone they feel a slight wrong sniff about.<p>I know some insane stories that will never be publicly disclosed for one reason or another, and…it’s not a legal team I’d ever want to cross paths with.<p>It’s also not the first time Apple has cried wolf at employees leaving the company to do bigger and better things, while trying to take responsibility for their successes.</p>

<p>I agree there’s no shortage of misses and embarrassments, though I would argue there’s still a lot to be proud of. A lot of progress has been made - especially when you zoom out and compare to peers. The HN crowd these days seems to have it out for Europe, and only sees headlines about doom and gloom in policy.<p>If anything, the past 16 years has taught me personally that everyone in the UK wants change - too much change possibly.<p>The UK was the first G7/G20 to cut carbon emissions by 50%, we just ranked [0] 3rd globally large in part to setting up for the future with green energy.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/08/climate-change-crisis-europe-us" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/08/climate-...</a></p>
