[quote:RaccoonAngel:MV8yMjQ1Nzg3XzM4MTMyODY3X0UwQzJDQzMy] US workers have no freedom or rights, just dumb slaves who think they're better than the rest of the world. US economy is nothing but handful of mega chain stores owned by globalist companies, they all work for Satanists and have to send their white teen daughters to go get work-raped by their black coworkers. And they love every minute of it, even their ridiculous mothers and fathers, they all got shit eating grins on their faces. Shit eater pride. [/quote]

I had no idea! This really surprised me that the U.S. was the only country. Portugal and Austria have 35 combined vacation days and holidays guaranteed. That's five freakin weeks off. Nicely done Portugal and Austria!
Japan comes in second to last with 10 guaranteed vacation days. That's still 10 more than the U.S.
"Of course, in practice, richer workers are able to negotiate for both paid vacation and paid holidays. It’s poorer workers who can’t take any time off."
"So among richer workers, almost all employers offer paid vacation and holidays, and quite a bit of it. Among poorer workers, less than half get paid vacation, and even when they do, their employers offer a lot less of it. This is one more way in which the poor often end up working much harder than the rich."
There's a really good chart in this article graphing the 21 richest countries in the world and where they stand. Quite staggering compared to the U.S.
