I have strictly limited overtime with high bonuses and mandatory rest days, afternoon/night shift bonuses, 20 days minimum fully paid vacation, fully paid maternity leave, fully paid sick leave, healthcare paid through taxes, all written into law. Feels nice to live in a place where workers have rights. Sometimes I don't even know what to do with all this legally mandated freedom. Anyway, how's that deregulation going, America?

    The post still applies to you in its entirety except for the 1h unpaid overtime. And yes, socialist ideas are good, that's the entire point of the post.

    The traffic and living situations in socialist countries are also not as bad as in USA due to better public transport and denser housing near work, so remove an extra hour of commuting as well.

    Socialist countries? You mean like China? Or are you talking about European-style socialdemocracy? Plenty of suburban neighborhoods with detached housing in Germany or Norway too

    Yeah, Europe ones. China isn't socialist.

    The country with a communist party and 60% of state ownership of the stock market is less socialist than the Nordic countries currently electing fascists into government like Finland and increasing poverty rates by 2% of their total population in 3 years?

    If you're unsure what to do with your copious freetime, I recommend some political activism to make sure that your rights don't backslide. Fascism is on the rise practically everywhere in the west.
