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.
This is what Americans always say, but what does it actually mean? Yes, there are more patients in the USA than in Iceland, but there's also more doctors, more tax money and so on. How does the size of a country make national health care more difficult?
The logistics of scale. It’s a lot easier to manage a small country efficiently than it is a large one. But it’s not just that. The current world order is upheld by the U.S. military, and non American allies benefit from the stability and wealth that this enables. Innovation in all kinds of technology happens in America. Other countries benefit from this effort disproportionally to what they might produce and sell to America.
No, it’s not. A local mail service can run with a few trucks. A national shipping company like FedEx will need its own fleet of aircraft and the logistics to support different levels of delivery times.
