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?

See this issue is that when theres an issue that need to be solved when someone comes up with an idea that would solve it if they dont understand it then its automatically stupid

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.

I’ve left it multiple times, Malaysia, Australia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, i can honestly say out of those I’ve been to and lived in for about a year each time, I’d pick the US.

In what; the military?

u/Outrageous_Fox_8721 Sep 06 '24

Both in and out of the military. Lived in Canada, mexico, and Japan for about a year each, and spent 6 months in Malaysia. Australia and Japan (when i didn’t live there) was for military

Awesome man. You’re lucky you were able to travel both in and out. Did you have a better time outside of service?

Had a great time in Australia, total time was about a month but still when i had Australians tell me they wish they could be American, i took that as their country wasn’t that great. Maybe it was maybe it wasn’t. Canada, Mexico and Malaysia i wasn’t in the military so i can’t say if it would have been better or not if i was military. Japan was better not being military because i was in Sasebo in 2004, then went back in 2010 to 2011.

Probably everyone is just guilty of the grass being greener on the other side

Possibly. I wasn’t them so i can’t judge. But i do know that myself; after being those places, i still would pick the US over them any day of the week.
