I don't know anyone who works 5 days a week... Sure wages aren't as high as in the States but folks live comfortably enough (evidenced by the fact you can find Dutch tourists from Cambodja to Canada).
- rickydroll 2y agoI think there is a relatively simple explanation.Overall, it appears you have time to breathe. It doesn't look like you are burdened by as much existential fear about survival, it seems that you get medical care whether you're employed or not, you don't have to worry about medical event driving your to bankruptcy and ruining your life, and most of all, you have much better food especially coffee than we do. American cappuccinos suck. Cappuccinos I've gotten from coffee stand in the middle of the park in Finland were orders of magnitude better. I know it's not all unicorn farts and sprinkles. You still have right-wing civilization shredders in your political system. You have a boatload of bureaucracy, and it appears to be more difficult for a small business organically to a medium-sized business.
