Europe vs America
Free Republic ^ | 08/17/2024 | Chicagoconservative27

Posted on 08/17/2024 10:26:14 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday these two ladies on my team at work we're comparing work ethics between the United States and Europe.

They have 2 hours siestas everyday! They have free health insurance! They Take2 months off! United States sucks! We need all the workers protections Europe has! You can't get fired in Europe!!

I almost lost my #$#$ but I can't tell at work.

There is no place like the United States. I'm proud of my country and can stick it. Nothing's perfect.

If those two “ladies” (assuming they’re even biological women to begin with) want socialism so bad, they’re more than welcome to pack up their things and move to one of those countries.

An American saw two extra-large British ladies at a bar.

He said, “Where are you ladies from?”

They replied, “Wales.”

He then said, “Oh, Sorry. Where are you whales from?”

All that’s true. They are also poorer. Their unemployment is awful - far worse than ours. They are also lagging badly when it comes to economic growth. They’re not growing.

So yes, Americans work longer hours, have less vacation (though in the US you get to choose when to take it while Europeans often do not...their vacations are in August like it or not) and do not have the various social welfare schemes European countries have, America is noticeably richer and has a lot more opportunity and America has growth. Quick! What are the high tech companies in Europe? Where is there Apple, or Amazon, or Google or Nvidia or Coinbase or, etc etc etc? They don’t have them.

No No No...the better version of that joke is a drunk guy hearing two women’s accents at the bar tells them “you girls from England have such lovely accents.”

One of the girls says “Wales, idiot”

He says “Sorry, you Whales have such lovely accents”......

Just say - "Then move there. Enjoy your stay."

Then wait, watching them, and listen for the excuses to start rolling out for why such a move would be impractical.

Europeans can get away with those generous benefits because they spend little on military defense. That European luxury is paid for by me and you American taxpayer.

When you consider that the USA annual military defense budget is nearly $1 trillion dollars, that funding is for the defense of nearly the entire world except for a handful of countries who pay for their own defense (Russia, China, North Korea, etc).

The European Union is really the welfare queens of the military world. For decades the Eurotrash have been sucking on the American teet, gorging themselves like parasites on the federal pig trough.

The only reason Europe has been able to afford it for so many years, is that they don't have to pay for anything other than a skeleton military, thanks to NATO. Trump started making them pay more of a fair share (don't know if Biden stopped that, but he stopped everything other good idea.)

With the huge influx of unassimilable immigrants and rumblings of war in Eastern Europe, that gravy train is about to come to an end.

The UK is a failed state. The Islamists have conquered the country. The current government is helping them to do that. Other countries are on their way to being conquered, the UK is ahead of everyone else by 20 years due to their Orwelian state.

I love it when idiots take a two-week vacation somewhere and then proceed to tell everyone how great it is while their place sucks.

Did you mention $7 a gallon gas, 50% taxation, limited availability of most items and government control of everything?
