    When I worked in healthcare there were days where I clocked in at 7am and was forced to keep working until 11pm without any lunch or dinner break. Worker rights in the US are almost completely non-existent and the way some workers get treated is hellish

      The US values company profits over all else. It’s different in Europe because we have legal protections.

        Too true. I would give my right hand to live in Europe rather than the US.

          Yeah I agree. I will never be filthy rich but I will also never be very stressed out or risk ending up on the street. It’s a fair deal. :)
