- lazide 1y agoAre you for real/? 1) 500 hours a week isn’t just unsustainable, it’s impossible? There are only 168 hours in a week. I’m assuming you mean 50. 2) You’re just agreeing with the point again. Europe cares more about being comfortable. The US cares more about making money and being competitive (well, used to until recently anyway). People do all sorts of unsustainable things for money, all the time. So what point do you think you’re making?
- fsflover 1y ago> Europe cares more about being comfortable. The US cares more about making money and being competitive I think that you can't be competitive long-term without being comfortable.
- lazide 1y agoIf you think Asia is comfortable, I have news for you. But I guess it depends on ‘long term’. By Asian standards, US working conditions are heaven. EU isn’t particularly competitive even in the short term, but they are certainly comfortable. I guess we come back in a couple hundred years and see?
