Then I never talked irl to a typical American with typical working hours. Next time I talk to them I tell them they are doing it wrong…

Netherlands 36 hours is full time, i work 4x9 hours, so basically a 4 day workweek, for about 20 years now, used to work 38 and got paid extra for the effort. But soon found out more free time is priceless.

What do you mean I haven’t worked 40 hours a week for decades… I work 36 hours ( which is considered full time here) and I work for 4 days 9 hours a week, every Wednesday of.

Or its made by an American thinking America is the whole planet… 😇

If only the native Americans had a more successful immigration policy…

Edgy… 🙄

You don’t care? You don’t care that you are being poisoned but you’re kinda happy your spoons won’t have a funny color.

Is this the American Educational system in practice?

RFK JR actually says something intelligent… That’s something I never thought I would experience.

So it will cost 50+ billion the tax payer has to cough it up, the build will take twice as long, then the private companies reap the benefits and profits, and if things go wrong the British government (taxpayers) is left with the bills and clean up. It will start producing 5 years later than planned and has to be shut down 10 years earlier than anticipated.

It’s going to be beautiful.

At this point we can pretty much write off the US as being civilized.

LOL @ credit scores, the US is changing slowly in a western China.

And you just keep playing along with it like good little minions.

Slowly as in, the Niagara falls slowly trickle water.

If they want to honor their cosplay they should yell “AUSWEIS BITTE”.

That’s by design, the money flows from the average American to the companies. Then slowly trickles into the pockets of the ceo’s.

Lol yeah you need to be in a trench throwing rocks at the other side, not being all sensible how dare you! 😁

Let me guess most of those people don’t agree with you… 😁

You too, just count your blessings, and think about what you have and don’t focus on what you don’t (or can’t) have.

I like to lead a more minimalist life so I can retire, small cabin in the mountains, maybe put up a big tent for a bed and breakfast to cover my cost a bit. And just be busy with growing my own food, chickens, getting ready for winter doing repairs, hiking. Now with solar panels being cheap and batteries, going off the grid is a lot easier. And if you don’t need much you can live very cheap.

Search for Martijn Doolaard on youtube and you know what I mean, although i want to keep it a bit simpler. 😁

He had a medical condition, in writing from the doctor that he couldn’t fly for 8 to 12 weeks in case of blood clogs. He notified the authorities that he might be overstaying a little without any response.

And still he got detained, the US is a banana republic led by an ape.

I think it’s about being content with what you have. Not always wanting more and bigger and better. I have a comfortable salary, nothing too much, loads of people earn way more, but i can pay my mortgage and all other costs, don’t have to worry about losing my job. And still have enough money left to spend on nice things.

I don’t have to save up loads of money for medical bills or other unfortunate events. I can just easily live my life.

That having said I’m still fed up with the daily grind, so I’m selling the house now to retire early somewhere in Spain or Italy, hopefully going off grid somewhere in the mountains enjoying peace and quiet and nature, embracing my inner hermit.

Yes but they are trying to better themselves, it’s a slow process, but there is progress. And they came a long way since the 70’s.

Countries like America are going backwards. At this rate the USA is a worse country for the working class than China in 20 years, if not already.

You don’t understand colonialism much. They aren’t taking anything by force like the rest of the west did for centuries.

They are doing business, there is a difference.
