TIL that my counterpart in our US location gets 10 days paid vacation.
And I'm sure he's among the luckier ones.
I get 30. 24 is the legal minimum in Germany.
The US are a ****ing ****hole.

I think the average German worker is actually more productive over the course of a year.

At my last job it seemed like everyone was too stupid to understand that complete exhaustion erodes productivity.

America seems intent on remaining oblivious to the significance of rest and nutrition.

As crazy as this sounds, I think most Americans are in denial about the biological nature of biology. It’s a residual effect of religion I think.

Along the same lines, school kids eat processed junk food constantly and never exercise and everybody wonders why they act like starving chimpanzees in class. Instead of nourishing children as the biological creatures they are they pretend they’re godlike spirit creatures that live on adhd drugs.

I should still be able to navigate this society much better than I do but it definitely makes you an outsider if you’re even remotely rational in the United States. My ability to function here isn’t very impressive but damn it’s hard to force idiocy unto yourself.

North Texas is basically a paradise compared to rest of the U.S. Least as far as education, job opportunities, overall stability, etc. go.

TFW your state sucks so bad that you resort to allowing businesses to exploit their workers to the highest degree to trick anyone into living there.

On a related note: **** the Protestant work ethic. Dumb ****s. At least Catholics take naps and get wasted.

Are you referring to the place with so much opportunity and so much to do that they can regulate business to the point of restriction and still be a desirable place to live? Ja, I guess that really disproves my point.
