Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of the American dream, which embodies the idea of achieving success and prosperity through hard work and determination, appears to be more attainable in Europe than in America itself. It implies that individuals may find better opportunities, social mobility, or a higher quality of life across the Atlantic rather than in their home country. The quote highlights the irony of this situation, as the American dream is often thought of as an inherent part of the United States' national identity.
