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…

I can feel your pain, switched to Picnic though, never looked back.

I have even put cobblestones in the garden now for nostalgic reasons. (Basaltkeien)

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… 😇

There is one thing that should happen first and that is hitting rock bottom in a way everyone gets together and make a united front. As long as half of the country hates the other half nothing will change, “they” will keep you divided and fight each other so they can go on doing whatever they want.

And “they” is mostly companies. You need worker rights a solid minimum income, safety nets, a mentality where you are not there to serve your country but the country is there to serve the people. And less hunger for money. And a healthy criticism of your own country, wanting to do better instead of thinking you’re the best. Better basic education accessible for everyone, health system the same, I can go on and on probably.

But I doubt it can be done at this point, I really don’t even have a clue where you have to start. And it’s sad I have friends struggling to raise their children in the US, stuck in toxic relations cause they can’t afford to leave. Others working 60 hours a week barely able to pay basic costs, pretty much all of them taken hostage by the companies they work for, can’t lose a single paycheck, or the meager health insurance provided through their work (crazy system).

And this generation gets all worst end of the deal, previous generation all let it happen.

If you want to point a finger, point it at your parents and grandparents, they are the ones that let this happen, not your fellow Americans right now. Everyone is voting out of desperation to hope and make things right, voting for Trump is just grasping at straws for a lot of people, but blaming them for this just isn’t right.

Oh yeah that’s rich, like I said blaming everyone but yourself, that will solve it. Like the US listened to any criticism ever, and the us citizens ever only waved their flag and screamed that 'murica was the best, and your educational system made damn sure you weren’t told anything about other countries or political systems, you were just spoonfed with 'murica is the best.

Maybe you should have listened to people instead of putting your fingers in your ears screaming “I can’t hear you”

You were all chasing money and didn’t care about anyone else but yourself, as long as you were fine everything was fine. Everything that even slightly resembled something social was communism… Even now you all think socialism is communism, out of fear you might have to pay for someone else. Taxes are evil, government should be as small as possible, no regulations cause you are so fucking free.

Well this is what happens companies unregulated doing whatever they want squeezing every last dime out of you.

And i dont think you can do anything anymore, you are way passed any solution.

But i get sick of the fingers pointing at someone else, like this is just happening for the last 5 or 6 years, but of course someone that holds up a mirror just be a troll or living in someone basement. Hey if it makes you sleep better at night, i dont mind being either.

Lol yeah you just keep blaming everyone else… Hey I don’t care, be angry at me all you want. But it’s nice to know I hit a chord so you felt the need to check me out.

But it doesn’t change the fact you all shaped your society like this.

Yeah and don’t forget to be especially mad at people who voted for Trump, like it hasn’t been building up for 40/50 years now.

The people in power will do anything to keep the people divided, and it’s working like a charm, the US population is being played like a fiddle since Reagan.

No, it’s just a symptom of the disease, you all are responsible for this outcome, you have been working towards this since reagan, and yes all of you, left right democrats republicans, all of you.

And now you finally got what you’ve been asking for all this time and you want to blame someone else for it, typical.

It’s a bit harsh but yeah… Looking at the US from a distance I’ve been saying it is turning in some sort of weird industrial/corporate dictatorship resembling a third world country for a decade now.

Only thing I ever got back was, 'murica is the best country in the world".

And they still are saying that to this day…

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

Goes both ways doesn’t it? People defending piracy of software but hating on AI.

But when an analog artist gets his inspiration (like AI) from other artists it’s fine when an AI does it all hell breaks loose.

peak hypocrisy…

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.

That’s dealing with it, not obsessing over it.

Replace western media for US media. Only the US is obsessed with communism.

Yeah you just keep denying you’ve been creating this too, your “left” is more right than European far right.

You’re all fascists by civilized standards.
