Higher ambition to not be homeless, sick or bankrupt? Everything is insanely overpriced to boost corporate profits and we have no fucking healthcare or social safety net. In fact, we are the only “developed” country to lack these basic, fundamental features.
Americans work this hard because we are hungry, and the only thing that will satisfy at this point is billionaire meat.
Working more hours doesn’t mean you’re working harder.

Being able to eat and pay rent is ambitious.
As a Norwegian, fuck you Tangen.

Wage slaves work in the US not for basic necessities, but for a sense of pride and accomplishment.
That’s the American dream baby!

Unlike other posters, I think this is not wrong. You see a lot of “hustle culture” over there as well as the general belief that if they work hard they can get rich. Whether that’s a good thing or not is another question.
