America is a work camp
It's honestly pathetic. "States rights" my fucking ass.
cries in American
Oh that's why you want Greenland
I guess ISIS recruited by boasting better work-life balance than in the USA.
Crazy 5 weeks is like the pinnacle of existence...
An average full time office worker in France would get 7 weeks, more at big companies that want to attract talents with better benefits. I had a job with 11 weeks. I used them all.
As someone who has 6 weeks, even then it's not enough. We all deserve more.
This is the best. People need to hear this more. 6 weeks is feasible and done today in some countries. Even then, we can afford to do more.
When people phrase it like this I think they help others understand it isn't a wish it's a reality in parts of the world and therefore it can be a reality in theirs. It also tells people that 6 isn't the target, more is the target. We shouldn't be striving for infinite stock prices we should be striving for infinite time off. Automation, freedom, self-sufficiency.
32 hour work week, 8 weeks of vacation, more money, more healthcare, more public transit. We can afford it all. Tax the rich, break up monopolies, unionize, and build bridges and ladders - make a better community!
Diagrams without scales are not helpful.
Trump wants Greenland because of the 6 weeks of annual leave!
Constituent countries of the Kingdom of Denmark, 2026: Denmark, Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Greater Vinland
AFAIK the article has no diagrams.
But a map, with quite a clear legend under it.
You are absolutely right, yet, @[email protected] could underline the fact that some Lemmy computer server, while composing your post, created this copy of a Wikipedia picture :
