Shouldn't the US be ashamed of its overworked population and lands?
Why does everyone brag about being so very hard working?

@TexChik The corrupt politicians are owned, played, lobbied, and bought by the rich corporate businesses.
They set the tone. It isn't like they are some victims who desperately tried to hold onto their fairly paid, promoted, and benefitted American hires tooth and nail and were defeated by Washington into sending them offshore to survive. No, they wanted to keep more and more profits for themselves and pushed their lobbies to promote legislation to allow them to move jobs offshore so they didnt have to pay as much for labour or abide by even the most sensible of environmental standards.

@Stopmakingsense You think voluntary poverty is a solution?

Its a Protestant "Calvinist" thing. We have to prove our worth to make sure we are saved to begin with
Its also a schizophrenic philosophy, no wonder so many are driven MAD with it, and the useless endeavors that consume our sorry lives...
Yes some exceptions to that, the one who wrote this post 4 starters!

Because even American Catholics or non-Christians have drunk deep from the well of the Protestant Work Ethic. Plus modern culture socially rewards material success.
Can't decide if it's good or bad overall but I do think that's a strong part of it. Working v(and work's material fruits) are prized over other things.
It's easy to sneer at that (from my perspective anyway) but civilisation does need people like this. So it's a blessing and a curse

Yeah everybody is so busy gaming these days, and many getting paid for it. No time for anything else.
