Yeah, I'm American and yeah, I made myself mad and looked this up as a reminder. I guess I just didn't feel like having a good day today.

And yep, I have a job that gives us zero paid time off and literally won't ever give it to us unless the government forces them to. kiryu-slam

What's that? A recession is inevitable so I need to hug onto my job like my survival depends on it? Well shucks, I guess I'll just cope and seethe until I die, especially considering that contractors rarely can ever unionize.

China: we’re proud to be the most hardworking people in the world

Me: I just want two-day weekends and a few weeks of annual leave to relax

This is what happens when your country doesn’t have a history of trade union movements (and where the constitution declares strikes to be illegal). Meanwhile, Western neoliberal countries are actively trying to get rid of the social welfare that were hard fought and won by their labor movements in the previous century.
