On: Living in Switzerland ruined me for America and its lousy work culture (2016)

Yeah, "America" is really a loose union of 50 states with diverse cultures and standards of living.

San Francisco is not like Indianapolis, which is not like Fargo.

You're right that the USA are more diverse than often acknowledged. However, they are still sufficiently clustered and distinct from, say, northern Europe (also comprising multiple states with diverse cultures etc.) that the discussion here is meaningful.

you're really stretching the definition of the word diverse, there.
