Public transport, healthcare, even the fucking roads, just to name a few. Every time I've gone to the US, I've been astounded at how awful the roads are in comparison—in particular along the west coast, which given California's GDP, you'd expect better. Even Ireland, which has comparitively shit public transport compared to the rest of europe, is miles ahead of most of the US. > (Not to mention that ireland was almost a third world country until it started attracting capital with shady loopholes and lack of regulations compared to the US and Europe, which makes the comparison even weirder.) It's significantly more nuanced than that (and the US is equally as guilty of aiding corporate tax evasion thanks to Delaware—if the US actually wanted to tax income that is currently being routed through Ireland, it could just pass a law to do so). We're definitely a tax haven, no denying that, but our infrastructure started improving well before that became the case. But that's not really relevant to the discussion, which is about employment rights.
