    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.

            Canada does, but it’s managed by each province.

            Ontario for example reduced sick days, there are no paid sick days, and all work is “at will” which is to say “at will of the employer” to fire you with or without cause.

        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.
