On the other hand Americans eat like they have free healthcare…
Americans have been sold and eat up the idea that instant gratification beats the effort needed to realize something greater.
In my defense, everything I worked for in the first 18 years of my life fell apart in the next two, so I’ve just kind of given up on anything that isn’t now or in the very near future.
No no you see, Americans work* so much, they don’t have time to first learn and then practise to cook healthy meals at home. Hence fast food chains!!
*work American style, as in staying at work long hours but also spend about 60% of their work day chatting with co workers, or on the phone, going on personal, non-work related errands, browsing the internet, selecting, getting, eating, and ridding their bowels of food.
i just learned (on Lemmy) that Americans basically don’t get raises annually. 1 or 2% raise apparently is the burn. so 40% work in a work day sounds way too much for me. good job, American workers. those fuckers don’t deserve your labor even at 40%. keep slacking, i say.
Try getting a blue collar job, and tell me again how the majority of American workers are slacking. Must be nice over there in your “office job,” that clearly can be done working at home.
Also I don’t know about other office jobs, but in IT, it was feast or famine. When there was work to be done, we worked 100 hour weeks, but when we finally managed to put out all the fires, yeah we would spend weeks at a time working on side projects, not slacking off.
Imagine taking a joke without having to jab back 😂. Oh world you are so petty.
Imagine giving it out but not being able to take it.
If it was just a bit of fun then, its still just a bit of fun now.
Just to be clear, we want you to have free healthcare. Its not meant as gloating and you should be angry. Just not at us. You deserve free health care and you won’t find many British people who wouldn’t want you to have it too.
