Gun culture
Making houses out of wood. To me, someone from a country where houses are made of brick, this is like living in a shed. Also, the USA is the hotspot of tornadoes, so it makes even less sense
One of the richest countries in the world, and universal healthcare isn't a thing

Yeah, as I live in a very geologically active area, I'd rather not be crushed by 3 tons of brick falling in on me from the slightest earthquake. I'll take my wobbly wooden house.
