But it’s also a misunderstanding of how the US is governed and regulated. It’s setup more like Europe than people realize.

And yes, we’re fully aware of how much most of us are getting screwed on worker’s rights for time off. People in other countries don’t think we’re aware but we are. The question becomes, how do you fight for more rights? Our politicians absolutely suck. That’s the main issue. The two party system doesn’t work but we can’t agree what to do about it.

    Strike, fight, bleed, die.

    We have ours because us and our ancestors already fought and died against our oppressors to get them.

    You have two choices, die for your overlords, or die for your rights.

    That’s an option but it would have to be something so heinous, to push us to unite, I couldn’t fathom it. Nothing, so far, has pushed us to that point.

    Think about how many mass shootings we’ve had and that still doesn’t unite us. The issue is more complex than our European friends understand.
