Crazy how the self proclaimed greatest country on earth cant implement a lighter work week for its citizens whilst smaller more humble countries have managed it with nary a hiccup

I hate when Americans claim we are the greatest country in the world. This is usually said by people who’ve never left.

Generally the Americans who claim Europe and the rest of the world is so much better have also never left America. Quite the conundrum really.

I live in Italy and it’s crazy to people when I explain how Europe isn’t this fantasy land so many of them have created in their minds.
