On the other hand Americans eat like they have free healthcare...
Touché!
Buuuuuuurn.
Americans have been sold and eat up the idea that instant gratification beats the effort needed to realize something greater.
In my defense, everything I worked for in the first 18 years of my life fell apart in the next two, so I've just kind of given up on anything that isn't now or in the very near future.

No no you see, Americans work* so much, they don’t have time to first learn and then practise to cook healthy meals at home. Hence fast food chains!!
*work American style, as in staying at work long hours but also spend about 60% of their work day chatting with co workers, or on the phone, going on personal, non-work related errands, browsing the internet, selecting, getting, eating, and ridding their bowels of food.
Try getting a blue collar job, and tell me again how the majority of American workers are slacking. Must be nice over there in your "office job," that clearly can be done working at home.
Also I don't know about other office jobs, but in IT, it was feast or famine. When there was work to be done, we worked 100 hour weeks, but when we finally managed to put out all the fires, yeah we would spend weeks at a time working on side projects, not slacking off.
Blue collar? I was obviously not talking about you losers, so shut your gd mouth and go back to pounding rocks.
i just learned (on Lemmy) that Americans basically don't get raises annually. 1 or 2% raise apparently is the burn. so 40% work in a work day sounds way too much for me. good job, American workers. those fuckers don't deserve your labor even at 40%. keep slacking, i say.
I wish. That person has never seen what blue collar workers go through. In food service for example, and I literally cannot stress this enough, YOU WILL NOT GET A BREAK. Their favorite phrase is, "If you have time to lean, you have time to clean." This is because there will be exactly one chair in the manager's office, so that no one is allowed to sit for their entire shift, except the manager.
They get pissy if you ask for your federally required 15 minute break or your 30 minute lunch. This is doubly true for wait staff or delivery drivers. In fact I have been told by multiple bosses at delivery jobs that if I try to take a break at the store, I will be fired.
The rule of thumb over here seems to be, "the less you are paid, the more you WILL work."
every time i hear anything about the US it becomes even more unbelievable that there are no guillotines in the streets "just in case".
It's because the ruling class created the biggest, most successful gang of slave hunters in human history, armed them to the teeth, and gave them immunity from prosecution. Anyone that does try to wrest some power back from the ruling class, historically, gets shot.
Yeah but they still spend most of their lives in a place they don’t want to be in, while being prideful about how hard they work compared to all other nations
Lmao
I don't care. I'll die on that hill.
Oh you will
Depending upon the type and quantity of food, climbing it might be a more difficult task than expected (says me who had McDonald's today (though for the first time in a couple months)).
It might not take a hill, a set of stairs could do it.
We eat that way because we don't. Heart disease is the only way we're going to end up going out quickly enough to avoid end of life hospital bills. I mean it's not like any of us have the means to afford to retire.
Imagine taking a joke without having to jab back 😂. Oh world you are so petty.
You couldn't
Imagine not being able to take a jab back without complaining. 😂
Imagine giving it out but not being able to take it.
If it was just a bit of fun then, its still just a bit of fun now.
Just to be clear, we want you to have free healthcare. Its not meant as gloating and you should be angry. Just not at us. You deserve free health care and you won't find many British people who wouldn't want you to have it too.
Jab backs are the best part!
🤠🤠🤠
I just continued the "food generalisation" joke because I'm neither British nor American. I can laugh at both of you.
You seem to be the one that can't take a joke.
