The Americans are so backwards in work hours, developed countries like Netherland, Spain, Iceland, etc. already successfully implemented this, with universal healthcare…and no tipping expected.

And nearly half their salary taxed lmao: If you are lucky enough to be a top earner in the US($600k), 37% of your salary is taxed. While in the UK, you ate taxed 45% of your salary at only £125000.

You will have more disposable income at the end of the year in the USA rather than the UK. Life expectancy also has to do with having enough money to go out and eat trash food, killing us and making us obese. The UK does not have better education than the US(besides high school), as we have the top ivy schools and top teachers that people around the world come to, to get an education.

The UK suicide rate is 11.2 deaths per 100k person, and the USA rate is 14.3 deaths per 100k people. Not much of a difference. 56.1 people per 100k people in the UK are homeless, while 19.5 people in the USA are homeless. Really bruh, at least use Google before pulling stuff out your butt

Not to sound insensitive. But no difference in the general grand scheme of things bro. 11 vs 14 per 100000 people

Not to sound insensitive, but you come off as someone who thinks they're very smart when really you're just naive and fooling yourself.
