At least half of those are not unique to the United States. Lots of countries have problems with militarised police. And of course racism is universal.

Yes, maternity leave! The US approach is bonkers.

I don’t get two weeks holiday yet. 5 days this year and I had none my first year.

You're actually fucking kidding me, right? That's... inhuman. Can you move overseas?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I wish. I’m looking at other jobs now that I have some time off for interviews.

Yep. You're fortunate if you get 2 weeks in the US as a general rule.
