> Cultures don't think, individuals do. And almost every individual in America doesn't think that two weeks of vacation is adequate. They think having a job and being able to put food on the table is better than not being able to do that. Most Americans are victims of shitty corporate policies. It's hard to push for better working conditions when billionaires have spent millions dismantling the labor movement over the past several decades. The average unskilled Australian teenager doesn't have more ability to put food on the table or negotiating power than the average US software developer, but will be much, much more likely to spend the next six months travelling round Europe (closer to San Francisco than Sydney) without even having to join the Peace Corp or learn a language to prove their worthiness, or to turn down or quit a job that doesn't give them enough holiday entitlement. Corporate policies and legislative priorities are a product of culture too: it's not like Australian billionaires love their labour movements.
