Would you look at that, Brazil has all of those! The problem with UHC is that right wing politicians have been doing everything in their power to dismantle it ever since its inception.
The previous govt (fucking bozo) was also keen on "isn't it better to have some work and no rights, rather than having rights and no work?"
Public universities, while being free, often can only be attended by the well off, since class times might be all over the week (Monday morning, Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning AND night), fucking anyone that needs to work to sustain themselves.
The world isn't this black and white, so you can't just compare things at a basic level like this
For example the Netherlands has intuition fee's for universities. It's about 2500 euro per student per year. I'd much rather have it free, but it's still nothing compared to the 50K or 100K some people pay for an American University
Indeed, but nothing is for free and we pay for the so-called "free" services through taxes. Yes, the 1st Class EU members are way ahead of the piss poor US labor laws and public services. Thanks to the MAGAts, working conditions will become 3rd World.
One matter, the blue-collar apprenticeship system in Germany is outstanding and the only organization that comes close are the trade unions in the USA, but it depends on which local you are in. Some are superb and some are WTF.
Plenty of states offer free community and state college admission for residents; not saying the chart isn't right (and sad) but I hate the stigma that the only good colleges are for-profit private ones.
Well, there's one country I'm not moving to. It amuzes me that a first world country, hell, a global superpower, doesn't have any of that stuff, it would benefit everyone, especially free healthcare because you wouldn't have to worry about going bankrupt just to get that surgery you know you need. It doesn't even have to be free, just making it affordable for everyone is already a huge step.
Trash country. Trash electorate.
Free college is no longer a thing here in the UK. But our student loan terms are bloody generous.
Well, at least for white working families. Middle easterners are under constant attack in those countries.
Luckily there's still many other important things such as food safety, workplace safety, consumer protection... um...
We used to have free college, but college students protested things which pissed off Reagan so he campaigned against it
Wait usa doesn't have any of that? Lefties, let them have the country, it was never worth a damn anyway.
Countries with labour laws and free education: "Learn and work, work and learn!"
But renaming mountains and bodies of water are going to solve all of that, our orange god king told us so.
/s if it’s not obvious
This is kinda misleading 'cause it portraits the UK as a Paradise and, well... Is the UK.
(Although, compared to USA, The UK is indeed a Paradise)
in defense of canada we are their closest competition so its natural for them to get a bit lazy.
Canada, at least ontario, doesn't have paid vacation for reg hourly workers. 4% comes of our cheque's into our own vacation fund. If you dont use it, you get it back at the end of the year. (6% if over 5 years as you get a 3rd week)
It's likely we need a general strike to fight for these rights. May 1st 2028 would be good based on the UAW initiative to coordinate contacts to expire at the same time
