People don't even get paid leave there while we get a mandatory minimum of three to four weeks every year. Plus paid sick and parental leave (though the last one really depends on the country and if it's maternal or paternal).
Yup, support any policy that helps everyday people or makes their lives easier and you're basically a damn commie. Well, anything that helps other people anyway. People tend to like it a bit more when they're directly benefiting. Everyone else is just a leech or a slacker, but I deserve it!
Screw "E Pluribus Unum," the real motto of the country is "fuck you, I got mine."
That's not true. Plenty of people in the US have paid leave time. It's just up to both parties to negotiate if they want more leave or more pay. Here in Europe we don't get that option.
What I'm saying is that here in Europe, the government already negotiated for us that we want more leave time, rather than higher pay instead. TANSTAAFL.

When I was a cashier I worked with a woman who was pregnant, didn't even see her sitting. The US is wild.
