I'm sure it is very nice to have extra vacation. That might be why European salaries are lower than US salaries, and their tax rates are higher still.

Behold, a socialist "utopia" where people line up 3 days to see a "free" dentist: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/people-line-outside-dentist-third-... This is probably a little worse than average but I have heard many times that socialist countries with free healthcare will let you die before seeing you, because they simply don't have resources to live up to the promise. In that case you'd be lucky to have cash to get out and see a doctor in another country.

Parental leave is not vacation.

The quality of your comments is so poor it's on a caricature level.

> basic rights such as 10 weeks of paid parental leave

At the and of the day, life expectancy is lower in US than in western Europe.

I always wonder if this is still true for 90th or 95th percentile income in each region

Behold a capitalist "utopia" where maybe if you are lucky your community might throw you a scrap of healthcare once a year https://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/economy_and_business/...

They were lining up because their local area had had a significant shortage of dentists, not because of some socialist death panel agenda.

Behold, a capitalist "utopia" where your medical bills being paid can depend on how many people you can share your GoFundMe with, or where you divorce your lifelong spouse while on hospice care so as to not saddle them with debts arising from your end of life care.
