> if you can afford the top level shit you'll have a good time, some would argue even a better time than anywhere else
This makes working hard/smartly in order to be able to do this incentivizing. Rather than just sitting back and enjoying the life/work balance and less working hours

Yeah ok, but maybe, just maybe, accumulating wealth and gadgets isn't the be-all and end-all of life for everyone. If some people want to be in the rat race until 65 they're free to do so. I personally have better things to do with my limited time on this earth.
> Rather than just sitting back and enjoying the life/work balance and less working hours
What's wrong with enjoying life once your needs are met ? If I'm happy working 35 hours a week why would I work 42 hours a week ? If I don't want to buy the next new shinny toy why would I bust my ass for extra money that I won't need ?
> Curious, what’s better?
Parental leaves, more vacations, less working hours per week, better life/work balance, free health and education, &c.
People who never experienced both systems can't understand the impact it has on your life, I'm not talking going in vacation in EU/US, I'm talking working/living for extended period of times. You can't escape the matrix if you don't know you're in the matrix. The US is like Disneyland or Vegas, if you can afford the top level shit you'll have a good time, some would argue even a better time than anywhere else, if you're on a budget be prepared to be treated like cattle.
