Wait a fkng second!!!

[EPW]

At least in California my sick leave carries over to next year

[Serb]

Our money is actually worth something. We can't just give it out for free to every joe shmoe who has a job.

That is just a matter of redistribution of one's annual salary, actually. But still a thing guaranteed by a state and by the law.
Only American idiots can live in a World where such basic guarantees as mandatory paid vacation, illness payments or pregnancy payments do not exist!

[Serb]

You are a f*cking slaves, happy to be raped!

[Serb]

At least in California my sick leave carries over to next year

Is it paid in full?

[Serb]

Ok! That sounds much better. So, my shouts are groundless and you have such guarantees as paid worked hours when you sick.
Is California something special wrt this or it's common on the Federal level? I mean - do you have a Federal law or something about that?

[EPW]

rrr vacation hours aren't guaranteed but most jobs give you some. In California I think you're guaranteed 3 days sick leave minimum.

[Serb]

So, you are still f*cked!

[Serb]

That is JUST REALLY SICK for me to hear such things.
That is a second shock after the news that you have to pay for ambulance around 330$.

The whole idea that one should pay ANYTHING for an ambulance is insane for my Russian mind!

[EPW]

If you don't have insurance it's going to cost you ~$2000 to take an ambulance. But the people who don't have insurance aren't going to pay the bill, so it kind of works out.

[Serb]

That's like Cyberpunk Trauma team

[Serb]

A total and complete bullsh!t!

[Serb]

Americans, you are sick people, indeed!!!

A sick f*cking slaves happy to be raped.

[Serb]

If you don't have insurance it's going to cost you ~$2000 to take an ambulance. But the people who don't have insurance aren't going to pay the bill, so it kind of works out.

That is bullsh!t!!! And if one dosn't have an insurance you just let him die?

F*CK!!!

YOU ARE INSANE, PEOPLE!

[EPW]

No, you can't be refused service.

[EPW]

So people without insurance abuse emergency rooms and drive the cost up.

[Serb]

How are you better than Nazis?

[Serb]

You are no better!
You worship to the golden calf!

[Egbert]

I must agree with Serb.

Comparisons can be made that favour the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic over the "land of the free".

The USA is one of the richer countries in the world but they do not look after their working men.

The minimum wage is so low that there are full time workers receiving welfare in the form of food stamps.

Their holidays are short, the sick leave entitlements are minimal. Many states have "fire at will" laws.

The cities are filled with giant slums.

The public health care is abysmal,

The USA is definitely not a role model for other countries.

If only we had more free time, we could spend hours every day getting drunk and posting rants about other countries on mostly-empty internet forums.

[-Jrabbit]

If only...

[Egbert]

If only we had more free time, we could spend hours every day getting drunk and posting rants about other countries on mostly-empty internet forums.

Excellent idea

We need more free time.

[Kidlicious]

We are so oppressed that Russians have leisure time to taunt us and we are too busy working to taunt them back.

[Elok]

Also our fertility is only falling, not plummeting, and when we die you can't take out our livers and use them to hammer nails in. We're way behind on per capita polonium consumption too, and our courts keep showing inadequate deference when our lawyers tell them how the ghost of Hugo Chavez is rigging our elections. Russians have the lead on us in many respects.

[Kidlicious]

Their national debt/GDP is very low but then Afghanistan's is even lower. That could mean Russia is the paradise that serb says it is, or not. All I know is America is in serious decline.
