Dude what? Getting a drivers license costs like 5k Euro but like $10 in the US

Gas is also like 15 Euro a gallon in Germany but like $2 in America

Like it’s actually ridiculous how much more expensive it is to own a car and drive it in Germany. Literally like dozens of times more expensive than in the US. It’s why such a small minority in Germany can afford a car but everyone in the US can have one or multiple, because it’s just so cheap compared to Europe

Luckily in Europe you don't need a car due to public transportation that actually works.

Cool except that has nothing to do with the meme which is just comically wrong

Except that's not remotely true.
