• Yeah, that totally ends with school.

    I definitely don’t live in this state perpetually while I work with no summer break and just a few days at Christmas. Nope. Definitely not.

      Being American sounds shit. You really need to fight for paid holiday & sick leave. It’s fucking bonkers you don’t have it.

      • I’m Canadian, where we market ourselves as better than Americans, but somehow I get more holidays when I’m working for US firms.

        Canada is a resource colony state and always has been.

          The Americans probably think you’re a limp-wristed monarchist-loving Moose herder who needs his breaks to go pray to the King and chop wood. Don’t question it! The UK and Europe have minimum paid holiday levels, maternity/paternity and paid sick leave. Surprised Canada doesn’t but you guys need to do something about that too.

        I think what you are talking about is communism. Sorry, I’m not dumb, I know better. Excuse me while I donate my paycheck to Trump so he can make America great again.
