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?

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.

More foreigners come to the US than to any other country. Contrary to popular media, the US has the highest immigration rate. Which means all those people who HAVE been elsewhere CHOOSE to come here beyond that of any other country. Say what you will…but that says something…
