But it's TRUE!
It's a hallmark of your culture. All I see on GFY is:
"Post pics of your pad"
"What labels do you wear?"
"Post pics of your car"
"Which hotel did you stay at at XXXXX porn conference"
And it's ALL the Americans.
It's a national goddamn obsession. Not with everyone of course but there's this ingrained mentality in the USA that you must make more money than everyone else you know and have a better house and car than everyone you know. Maybe you can't see it because you're on the inside but IT IS there.
There's just not the same sense of competitiveness here.
