[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a recent flight to Paris I sat next to an executive from a French multinational. He said all the white collar workers in his company want to be relocated to the USA. Why? Better pay and better lifestyle. [/quote]
I assume they have not actually lived in the US for a length of  time.  Otherwise, they would be shocked that there is no mandated maternity leave, managers will frown if you want to take more than 2 weeks off, healthcare and college costs are insane, and you have to deal with lockdown drills at your kid's school, and every time you hear about a school shooting, you quickly go on your phone to check if it's your kid's school.

yea, qol here is so much better for the average worker.  /s[/quote]

I would guess he means executives.[/quote]
Yes, the US is great for the rich - college, healthcare, private schools, nice vacations, quality food.  For the rest of us, we get much less bang for the buck in terms of work/life balance.

The EU/UK have more stringent standards for food quality.  Some of their rules are stupid, but they are at the forefront of removing harmful chemicals in the food supply; they don't allow GMO foods; they don't import US beef treated with hormones.  We have very lax food regulations in this country.

I think RFK Jr is a fool, but I do agree about that our food supply is tainted. Of course, reducing the FDA will make that worse. [/quote]
