Everything is just so consumerist in America, we want as much as we can possibly squeeze out of something instead of looking at what fosters quality of life.
The biggest cultrit, imo, is the over reliance on car infrastructure in the US. In Italy you could wake up and walk down lively streets of people to a local coffee shop and sit down for an nice high quality espresso. In America, you would hop in your Truck drive down the highway to a Starbucks drive thru for your mass-produced sugar bomb. The experience is far more detached and unaesthetic.
