Look at the average wage (especially for tech workers) in the US and compare it to basically any country with strong labour protections and maybe you will reach enlightenment.
- troupo 2y agoLet's see: health insurance not tied to employer, no bankruptcies due to loss of job (or loss of health insurance), no fear of on-the-spot firing with impactful consequences (loss of medical insurance, loss of income), more than a few weeks of maternity leave (and significantly more than just a few days of paid maternity leave) etc. etc. Not every delusion that Americans have is enlightenment.
- satvikpendem 2y agoHigher wages make up for all that, especially in big tech where people do get basically the same benefits as Europeans but at 4x the wage lol: unlimited or at least several weeks of vacation, excellent healthcare, etc. Sure, your point stands for regular workers, but not for tech workers. There's a reason people clamor to come to the US for tech jobs, and it's not because Europe is better for benefits.
