      TheGuia, where are you getting your information from? It’s got to be from the SAME source as mine. You must be a genius.
      Corporations have bought and paid for senators, congressmen and presidents to do what they want. They own them.
      Deregulation creates job is BS. Until there is a big Demand or something else that’s going to create a ton of profits, the corporations aren’t going to do anything.

      Actually capitalism is sh*t everywhere. These states just had very strong unions and worker movements that ensured labour is not exploited.
      Not to mention they profit from years and years of exploiting the global south and continue to profit from the systemic inequality that exists because of it. France is baaaad in this regard.

    America used to have better benefits and they have been gradually eroded over time due to the ignorance of virulent capitalist measures. Treating people like honored beings creates abundance for all of us. Treating people like robots doesn’t work on the human scale. We The People need to ALL STAND UP for living our best lives with the help of our elected officials. All we need to do is unite for this cause and tell our leaders to lead based on helping Human Beings thrive. Without this prime objective we are all on a runaway horse.

    I did the numbers on what americans make in their field of work and what italians make in the same textile job. Even when accounting for cheaper living expenses in Italy and the paid vacation, the americans actually make more money if they take the same amount of time off as the Italians (though how practically possible it is to take that much time off I don't know). But in regards to finances, even though the vacations are unpaid for americans and paid for italians, the americans will still have more money to spend because they earn so much more for the same job.

      I think it is harder to get these types of jobs in the US, because of the free trade agreements that have shipped so many of these jobs overseas. Also the unions are very weak in the US. Workers are treated rather poorly in the US, the coronavirus pandemic pretty much put that in plain view. What we now know as essential workers are paid poorly, yet are very much essential for the functioning of society.

      I think you have not understood the Italian concept, the point is not "to make more money" is to "live well, enjoy the family, not get sick from work and in case be treated for free"
      Can an American take 5 weeks of paid vacation?
      Can an American stay home for 5 months for pregnancy and get paid?
      Can an American stay 9 months with their baby (after the previous 5 months) at home and be paid?
      These are benefits that an American has no idea he can have, not even in dreams

    well, I'm Italian and this video only talks about the broad issue regarding welfare in our country. It's true that the state offers many services, but on most occasions getting a CT scan takes months of waiting, the courts are swamped with cases, the school is suffering a general collapse and the defense is in a worrying state. Yes, in general everything said is absolutely true, but small companies are closing at worrying rates precisely due to very high taxes and state waste. My girlfriend has a small nursery, with the maximum possible capacity of children and with state taxes it always reaches zero. If a car tire got a flat it would be a problem. Thirteenth month salaries are becoming a problem for small and medium-sized companies which, very often, force new hires to register for VAT, and greed has absolutely nothing to do with it; anyone who says otherwise is ignorant about it, very often it's about survival. As far as school and healthcare are concerned, if you want the best you still have to pay, especially for healthcare which is gradually disappearing. It is no longer a sustainable cost. So yes, the idea of ​​Italy has worked for years but it is reaching a turning point.

      True, but alot of Italians don't pay their taxes. And there is hardly enforcement in Italy. Alot of black work. A certain percentage they do white work (tax) and the rest is black work. The Italian state gets alot of money from the dutch taxypayer through European regulation and redistribution of wealth. While the dutch work till 67 before they can claim pension the Italians can at 64.

      So right. Most of ppl in italy do just a little things if they can afford it... by now they copying americans, asking for little loans to be able to go in vacations to come places.
      The worst things is that in the video you can see a cop (all the ppl who work for the state has ALOT MORE benefits than private employees) and a lady who is having a well paid job, and those private companies used are just a niche in the Italian market, 90% of private italian companies would not give you extra money if the company goes well and discourage holidays or ilness days just taking money away from your salary. Thats a fact but there would be more to talk about.
      I guess would be better to stop even random ppl on the streets and so receive real various feedbacks.. not just taking 2 specific situations just to try to create a fake picture of a place to sell around.
