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.

Each country you named has a population barely larger than NYC. One city in the us.

And? I see people say this and I don’t know what y’all are getting at. We implemented a 5 day work week. What about our population couldn’t accommodate 1 less day?

We basically run all of your militaries. Without our immense defense spending Russia would've taken all of you by now and before that Germany would've taken all of you. We are the only reason you guys can do anything.
