i (German guy) am shocked about the US Work laws!

My father works in a managing position for a pretty successful European company (let's call it A) that has rather recently been bought by a huge US compepitor (B). They integrated A into B as a subsidiary without changing the name or much at first (changing the name from just “A” to “A by B”) Now my father has not been required to learn the English language which is why he has just rudimentary understanding of this language which is why he came to me yesterday asking me for help translating some educational programs he was now required to do. Mostly pretty basic stuff about malware, email security and workplace security on site and during remote working. However, there where a few things that had me in shock as I translated it for my father to understand. First was a Program that was installed where he would be required to…

The Russian soldiers are working for Oligarchs. How many times has this happened in human history?

https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/t1y3x2/russian_soldier_captured_by_ukrainian_civilians/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 This video of a captured Russian soldier being yelled at by Ukranians has been making the rounds. We tend to feel bad for him because we know he's just some kid who ultimately is working for the Oligarchs. The Russian soldiers are a bunch of clueless young men fighting a rich old men's war. How many times has this happened in human history, going back to ancient Rome, Egypt, and Asia? How many times did poor young men have to do the bidding of kings of Europe? In the American Civil War, how many Confederate boys had to fight on behalf of the 2% of rich plantation owners to keep slavery? How many German and Russian boys died because Hitler was financed by big money? Switzerland stays neutral because of some “anti-war” stance? BS. It's because of the lobbying power of the bankers who want to launder the money…

Canada vs America

I’m wondering if someone can help lead me to comprehensive comparisons of things between the US and Canada. Things like average tax brackets and how it’s reflected in government spending, basic necessities covered like education or healthcare, how we might differ in our application of workers rights like paid time off or minimum wage or anything like that? Not sure if there is a good set of authors or places to go dedicated to basically shitting on the US in this way

6 hours

I have approximately 6 hours on average to spare in my daily work/life routine. When I subtract all my work hours, commutes to and from places, chores like feeding and bathing myself, appointments, and sleep, I find I’ve got approximately 6 hours to do whatever I want to do. Unless some event or holiday intervenes, (and more often they take away time rather than award more of it), these 6 hours are not even that pleasant. Thanks to our economy’s grind mentality, it’s hard to relax without stressing about all the things that need to get done, this is especially taxing when you’ve only got 6 hours to do all those things you’ve been putting off until you’ve got the spare time to do them. More often than not, I get to my moments reprieve and lay down. I need to nap, just to make it through the day and…
