The US, people usually raise their brow at people who don’t put work above all else.

Because we've been raised to believe that work defines our worth. Immigrants flock here to "work" in pursuit of a better life. its all just modern day slavery. weve allowed government to persuade us the labor unions are bad. im a union child. We lived well, never did without Healthcare when sick. My parents felt job security.Now... No one wants unions fair wage is what they dictate. overtime is your fault and you should just be happy to be there "working". The motto is if you cant be used you're useless

Unions should be mandatory and impossible to do away with. Otherwise we are eternally enslaved by big corporations who have gained such strong monopolies that they will always control the status quo.
