> Almost everything (electronics, subscriptions, goods) are expensive in the EU.

I live in Paris, France, one of the most expensive cities in the EU, and was recently on a roadtrip through the American Southwest and I disagree.

Subscriptions? Want to compare how much internet or phone bills cost in the US vs France (I pay 20€ (really 10 because it's the same provider) for unlimited phone calls, messages, internet and 30GB Internet in most of the world; and 50€ for 5Gbps down/1 up fiber which also includes a Netflix subscription and something like a hundred TV channels)? Even Netflix is more expensive in the US.

Goods? What goods? Food in restaurants is more expensive in bumfuck nowhere restaurants with Maga hat wearing clientele than mid end restaurants in Paris FFS! Clothing is way too variable to be a useful comparison (there's cheap shit and expensive luxury items in both countries).

Electronics... maybe? I compared Apple Mac Mini and Studio prices and it was pretty much the same.

Do you have anything concrete in mind or are you just imagining things?

There is one thing that is definitely less expensive in the US - fuel. But that's by policy in the EU, not due to credit card interchange fees.
