This is boring flamebait. We all know there are differences in employment contracts between different parts of the world. This comment adds nothing to that discussion but a useless insult.


This isn't "flamebait", it's literally how the rest of the world perceives the US


Yes this is self-evident by the 48 million immigrants who live here. Incontrovertibly proved by the people who walk across continents to get here.


That doesn't prove anything. Yes, people would rather live in the US than in India, China, or Mexico. In those places the floor is just as bad as the US, but the ceiling is way harder to reach. With a working class salary in the US you can support your entire family in Mexico. That's worth living in a shithole for.

The European immigrants have a plan B. Yes, the US sucks, but they're only here for the money and can go home anytime they want. Don't kid yourself, nobody chooses to live in the US because they think it's better than Europe.


Meh it's a bit more complex than that, once you remove people coming from third world country and people coming for the top 1% jobs you're not left with many people
