    Economies of scale and different expectations of timely delivery… Both of those prices are much more than I deal with here in the NL though

      Yes. Everyone in the US tells me that people get so much more money there than here in Germany because of the taxes and everything. And then you have to pay $30 for a simple food delivery?

        The real trick, I’ve heard, is to work remotely for a U.S. company. Get all the benefits of a civilized country but they pay you the bigger salaries(if you work in a field that isn’t 100% rat-fucked yet).

          Yes, that was also what I thought. But people assured me that I should just get a tech job and the employer will then pay all my health costs

        I thought they were taking the piss with the $30, is that for real?

        I used to live in Morocco and I paid about $3 a month for free deliveries with their local equivalent.
