Also Europeans have access to household appliances. Why do Americans think Europeans don't have most amenities that Americans do? Just because the market is small for a few of them? Insane thinking.

      As with any comparison the only way to make America seem good is to make comparison to the absolute poorest country you get away with rhetorically. He's banking on Americans not knowing there's a difference between Germany/France/Sweden and Spain/Greece/Albania.

        I mean in Greece most people don't have tumble dryers, but it's not because we're poor (although we are), rich people often don't have them either because it's just not one of these things people often think necessary. I think Americans tend to have more of a knack about these sorts of things. Might also have to do with the fact that houses are larger there on average so you can put more mildly useful stuff in them.
