Under the US system I'd be dead. 3 Brain aneurysms, 2 strokes, ICU care hospital stays, 20 MRI scans. 40 mile emergency (lights and sirens) ambulance. Physio at home rehab. Cost to me $00.00.
If the US tax Microsoft, Apple, Ford, GM,. At a proportionate rate. You would cover all the costs for "free healthcare".
They already spend more on healthcare, it just needs re directing.
Same here when I had my heart attack.Paramedics came to my house and stabilized me and transported me to A&E spent 7 days in intensive care and then on a ward has to be pain free for 5 days so I could have my heart operation. Has 3 stents inserted and then came home the next day with my medication. Then I had 3 mths of cardiac rehab once completed and the surgeon was happy I could return to work on a fazed basis over a month.I this had happened in America I'd either bankrupt or dead simple as that the cost doesn't' bare thinking about.
@@davidmalarkey1302 welcome to the thank gawd I live in an "evil" 😈 social democracy club👍
In Poland, everyone has 26 days of paid leave, on sick leave we get 80% of the salary for 180 days, maternity leave 100% up to 61 weeks
+ around 13 public holidays
in germany the minimum is 30 days i think. but then again. its not much of a difference at that point
In Germany if you get sick during your 30 days of vacation you have the right to get your vacation days back for the time of your sickness. Vacation is there for you to rest and enjoy your free-time - being sick is not resting, so you get your vacation days back.
Because this is how it works in civilised countries.
yes correct exactly the same in the uk
Isn't that special.
In Sweden we do have all those shifts, but if you work the "graveyard shift" you are usually paid more and only work 4 nights a week and have 3 off(at least at my company). We also get 390 days paid leave when we have a child. This leave can be split between the parents how they choose to, but the dad must take parental leave for at least 90 days. Usually the mother takes the rest, 300 days.
Big citys though... not that regular in other citys then Stockholm, Göteborg or Malmö
@@V141NG what do you mean? I do not live in any of those cities. Bor I Borås, om du är svensk förstår du.
@@tuijakantola6550 klart jag förstår eftersom jag är Svensk... going English... what some don't understand... not even Swedes is that Borås is Göteborg for most people... even in Sweden... you know... there are ALOT of city's outside Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö (and nearby city's... also go above Uppsala you'l understand
Where are those places apart from hospitals and police related stuff etc? Because most places in Sweden close around 6 pm.

Re your question about shift hours and laws abroad. Obviously the laws differ greatly in different parts of the world, or even between different countries in Europe since they're self-governing countries with relatively few overarching rules through the EU for the countries that are part of it.
However, it's not a matter of how many shifts exist. That can differ from industry to industry and the laws are usually more overarching. There are plenty of industries that have Day, Evening and even Night shifts. Instead laws in European countries usually regulate things like how long a day of work is, how many days per week that entails, what the reasonable minimum salary is that the employer cannot go under, rules regarding asking your employees to work overtime, how many hours total an employer is even allowed to ask an employee to work regardless of their willingness to pay overtime, rules regarding things like maternity leave (possibly paternity leave too) plus paid vacation and obviously to compliment all of this a set of rules regulating how, when or why an employer is allowed to fire an employee (without having to pay them a big lump of money) to avoid the employer being able to just fire people left and right to circumvent all the other workers right laws and regulations. Add to this that there are usually national holidays that are pretty set in stone for most industries, in which it's prohibited for most businesses to operate and therefore to have employees working. That's why you might know that in country X malls or stores all close at a certain time or don't open at all on holidays or Sunday. You'll just have to conduct your business with them some other day.
There's plenty that can be argued ideologically back and forth about the pros and cons of having added regulations and their effect on businesses. However, these things are not so much a matter of telling those businesses how to run in detail, as much as it is about setting a bare minimum for ANY businesses to operate on the market in question. These regulations and bare minimums are put in place to protect the consumer/client and just as much to protect the employees from being taken advantage of.
You just need to compare side by side to see many of the results of this in effect when comparing the working environment and most people's general quality of life between say the US and western Europe in general, that's pretty much the issues that this video is about. In the US, there are no overarching national laws and regulations for these things, and often nothing even on a state level. It's basically the wild west, the employers can operate legally while offering next to nothing to their employees, which creates a society where most people have a horrible quality of life and can barely afford even a plain, basic life. And if you were to get injured, fall ill or fail to make a living... well, good luck to you. This way you set different people and groups in society against each other, for the privilege of getting a job and a salary to try to live off of, while at the same time lowering the bar for themselves and everyone in order to get hired. Everyone obviously loses, except the people at the very top that own the company that is employing these discardable workers for peanuts with no regards for their well-being. Then again, I don't think that should be private businesses' concern necessarily, that should be society at large and our leaders' concern. Which is why you set up regulations and laws to protect the people/workers. With these, you can't set people against each other and sign private contracts going under the established minimum, because no private contract supersedes laws.
This is what has been done in different ways in European countries. It's a bare minimum that businesses have to follow to operate there at all, and it doesn't seem to be crippling them at all. There's plenty of innovation, plenty of big companies, competing globally, racking in huge profits for their owners. All while generally keeping their people way more sane, healthy and happy with their lives.
Sorry for the long rant. If you got this far, thank you for your time and I hope you got some insight into a different way of setting up a society-wide system like this. 🙂
He's from Georgia ❤
Free healthcare should be a human right all over the world 👍
Facts
Here in the UK the law states every employee is entitled to a minimum of 28 paid holiday days.
As a German working for the state i get 32 Days of paid time off a year and theres no such thing as sick days. A coworker of mine was on sick leave for 2 consecutive years and she still got paid 60% of her wages every month. In America, she probably would be dead now.
If you haven't yet, check out the video "America Compared: Why Other Countries Treat Their People So Much Better", please. You might be very surprised ... and maybe offended, if you see the comparison! If so, I am sorry! :/
Defended the US beyond where most do, until it became indefensible, how the US gets so little back and still they defend it.
Australia has dayshift, afternoon shirt and night shift...night shift pays more (130%) of dayshift rates full time and (155%) for casuals.
Supermarkets close at 9pm weekdays and they have nightfill (bulk restocking of the shelves) while there are no customers.
In USA you play 4 loans your interest will take more and more money.
Your son would essentially have a license to print money as a plumber in Australia.
As a plumber here it's good money but everything else it so expensive. I have a printing company I was told it would be a good business out there as well. My son and I are planning to take a trip to Australia to watch an afl game soon
@@CVTECK1 It seems to be different in Australia to other countries. Our trades people (tradies) get paid very well compared to other industries and occupations and seem to be a lot more highly regarded.
The AFL season is ramping up as well so you should have a great time.
Australia has got shift work, it depends on the company and the job, but people here get paid more for working jobs that require shift work, with the grave yard shift being the best pay, only companies that _need_ shift work will pay for it, because it costs them more to run shift, plus the regulations on shift work is more strict than a standard day job which adds red tape so admin costs as well. The industries you'll most often see shift work are emergency services (Police, Fire, Ambulance, etc), Mining, retail services (fast food, fuel stations, etc)
Bro
I'm a Kiwi living in Oz
There's graveyard shifts down here Brotha
We are ALL part of the system
Kia kaha🤙
thanks for the info brotha
@CVTECK1 You're welcome bro
I really enjoy your reactions
Wish u all the best
Take care Brotha✌️
bro the uk is nerer to becoming the 51st state than we are to socialism
Americans, by and large, don't know what socialism really is, and they misuse the word all the time. They don't understand the difference between a socialist country and a social democracy. That's why they think that any country that has social policies is bad and evil. They cannot understand that there are countries where people take care of each other instead of living every man for himself.
About the topic with work-life-balance and employee benefits, you should also check out "America compared - Why other countries treat their people so much better".
The Australian equivalent of a 401k is called Superannuation and it is automatically set up when you get your first job and is paid into by your employer in every job you have until your retire so you don't have to do anything unless you want to contribute some of your pay on top of what your employer does which is also tax free. The rate they pay into your superannuation account starts at around 9% every pay and varies upwards depending on your employer.
Here in Australia we do have normal shift hours then afternoon shift and night shift. A lot of jobs may have different times. We also have maternity leave for both parents available. I think you know about the health system here but just to let you know I pay ambulance and it costs $40 a year but up north of Australia they pay nothing.
People in the US have maternity leave for both parents. Here it’s up to the company. My company provides 6 weeks of maternity for both parents, I get 5 weeks of paid vacation, and 8 paid holidays. Any talk of health care in the US is typically inaccurate or just incorrect. No one gets turned down for medical care in the US. Even if the person can’t pay and doesn’t have insurance. We have government assistance. My mother is elderly and has government insurance and pays almost nothing. Don’t be mislead by the dipshits that don’t have a clue. I certainly wouldn’t take medical care advise from a comedian. No ones Heath system is perfect. Even Canada’s “free Heath care” doesn’t pay for sleep apnea equipment. They have to pay out of pocket. My mother’s is 100% free and I pay about $10-$20 every three months. I get free glasses and frames every year. Free dental cleanings. My company pays for my life insurance. Stop watching the news about the US also. It’s all lies.
@@toolshed2ndbattno it isn't, no you don't. You have NO legal right to maternity leave, it's entirely dependent upon corporation greed.
I'm in Ireland we get sleep apnoea equipment for free., it was the same in UK, I never paid nothing.
Capitalism is incredibly inefficient because every level has to skim.
Wow free dental cleanings... Wow amazing, you get fully free dental in UK and in Ireland the state pays for it when you're on a medical card, and you just walk in.
Amerikkka is a fascist shit hole. Grow up, wake up your government cares nothing about you, you are nothing but a disposable slave to them seriously.
@@toolshed2ndbatt Source: Trust me bro.
@@maozedong8370 hahahahahahahaha. Everything I said I've experienced first hand. Fking mao. Hahahaha.
@@toolshed2ndbatt wow 6 weeks 😂 when I had my son I got 6 months of maternity leave at full pay followed by an additional 6 months at half pay. My partner was able to take up to 3 months at full pay as I had to have an emergency c section. Americans get screwed, while they are brainwashed into believing they are the best so they take it with a smile.
there are shifts here for special circumstances like grocery stores who have to stock up before the customers come and obviosly emergency services who are 24/7 i dont know what a 3rd shift would be though. i guess it would be to expensive becuase here you have to pay workers more outside of traditional work hours (07:00 - 18:00), everything over 38.5 hours in a week is considered overtime and also costs more and you cant have anyone if they agree or not work more than 60 hours in total a week more than 6 hours without a break and there has to be at least 24 hours completely work free per week so scheduling for whatever a 3rd shift would be would probably require additional staff which would be super expensive.....long story short, shiftwork is alot more common in history books about the industrial revolution than in reality.
David Cross is American
Australia here I worked different shifts for 35 years even 20 years ago 3 days x12 hour a week but we got payed $1,500 that's equivalent to $2,700 in todays money a week, 4 weeks paid annual leave and 8 days paid sick leave been retired 15 years now they were good times. Peace out.
Hi Mate I most jobs, I've worked our pay went up for afternoon shift and up again after midnight also on weekends which paid time and a half Saturday double on Sunday Cheers
@@mick1535 Yes and even on holiday pay we got 17.5% extra on top. Pace out
Morning Shift, Afternoon Shift, and Evening Shift..... easy
by safe do you mean invading the mid east for there oil
In Australia generally speaking there is graveyard shifts in most industries but many people dont choose to work them but those who do get paid really well. That being said it also depends on the industry you are working in.
6:30 Bro, there is NO excuse for any part of America to have a WORSE life expectancy than Bangladesh.
Australia has shift work in factories
I use to work nightshift and did it for 13 years
How safe are you?
Not really But best believe I'm ready for anything lol
low tax but all that gose on the militery instead of helping people
That's because the military is about all the constitution allows the federal gov to do. America is a federation of free states. The schools no longer teach it; the media won't tell it; the lawmakers ignore it. Thank God for the White Hats. In America the idea is that we are left FREE. People who want to help others are left to do so, as WE see fit. We shouldn't have money stolen from us for what either federal, state, county or city/town wants done. We will only be free when we and the rest of the world have ONLY local government. That won't be long.
I get 16 paid weeks off plus public holidays a year
22:50 you on about an apprenticeship? I did that at 16 after secondary school you have Job 4 days a week then go college for 1 day or you can do 3 weeks in work 1 week at college
1 week paid vacation? incredibly poor. Why do workers put up with this?
I get 30 days paid and 8 paid public holiday.
6 mths 100% paid illness and then 6 mths 50%. then if I can't return to work. I can get 50% paid leave until retirement.
I'm not high or or management, just a general worker.
Having a good or bad military is irrelevant to a everyday working person having a good quality of life
I can think of a few countries where people might disagree with you on that (like Tibet, who's people are suffering under the CCP because they didn't have a good military), but a good military alone is not enough, you also need a good government that provides all the other important services that are the responsibility of government in addition to a good military.
Sweden is increasingly moving toward 2-shift/multi-shift to increase competitiveness and profit margins, and NOBODY says anything about how it affects the collective health of the Swedish population - it'll get you in trouble with management if you speak up, because Big Bro in the West and the Artisans of Cost Engineering to our South have polluted the very Soul of the Swedish populace..! 😵👈
he's the poormans Dr. Evil!LOL LOL---Chief Slappahoe
America is the greatest nation on the face of this earth. We are down on one knee and only one, because of one thing and every American knows that it is our present Government. We the citizens will change that in six months. Don't believe for one minute that because our President stumbles and falls means America ever will! God bless the USA!
oh great. and what is the alternative to the present president ? you put your hand from one pile of shit to the next one .........
The USA federal gov cannot lawfully be involved in health care, welfare, employment laws, education. Tenth amendment to the Constitution: "If it ain't in here, they can't do it," paraphrased.
In that case, it's time to repeal the 10th amendment. But if the federal gov. cannot be lawfully involved in healthcare, what do you think Medicare is?
27 Amendments 🤔🤷♂
Time to stop living in the 18th Century.
I am one proud American who does not want Government health care. I want the Government out of my personal life totally, including my health.
@@buck546 So you leave it to the big companies, who use your poor health to make their shareholders richer and pay the politicians to make conditions even worse for the people?
The US has the worst and most expensive healthcare system of all OECD countries!
By the way, in Germany it is private, and has been since 1883.
Bangladesh is a 3. world county 🤔
CVTECK1 you live in a country that has more guns than people. Combined that with the 2nd amendment, and you are not getting any bang for your buck on the safety issue.
We don't need any second amendment advice from you.
@@buck546 Hate to break it to you, but yeah, yeah you do.
America is a 3rd world country healthcare is a basic human right not a benefit and ownership of a gun is a privilege not a right.Your tax dollars funds your military and nothing else you are protecting yourselves from what. A 20% reduction in military spend would benefit the citizens in the form of healthcare, education, affordable housing and workers rights. As for freedom women in America have had their freedom of choice removed to have an abortion for whatever reason.Also doctors can go to prison for doing their job say in the position where an abortion would save the mother. So much for the land of the free.
WHY? WHY? WHY? do I keep hearing Americans such as you agree with videos like this and complain that you don't get the same as other countries but then do nothing about it. You still keep voting in senators and presidents that line their own pockets and do SHIT for the people who voted them in. You the people have the power to change the system and not just blindly vote for another millionaire to run the country for their own benefit. Vote for someone who would bring in new laws and statutes that actually are for the common citizens not the big corporations. Do you think that supporting Democrat rather than Republican or vice versa would make things better? No way. They're both the same except in name . They're both controlled by the wealthy. In England,the prime minister (in USA the president) can be your ordinary man in the street who wants to SERVE the people not make himself and his friends richer like your Trumps,Bidens and all the past presidents and senators do. You fought Britain for the freedom to govern yourselves and look who you allow to dictate who benefits from that freedom. WAKE UP for God's sake.
How do you know I don't do anything about things here. I'm always for change and It's why I started my own business and help people out. When it comes to sitting in people that can make change lol they all give you the same story and when their president nothing really changes. What do you suggest because most important vote is the vote in your state and community not president. But yes I'm all for change but they all are corrupt.
@@tkAusfrom4492 😄🤷♂️👍👍👍
Don't preach to me! I love my country and I don't ask anything from my Government but to protect my country. I'm not one of these cry babies who are always putting her down wanting the Government to give them free benefits that they don't deserve. I am a proud American who grew up in poverty but worked my way out of it because I was born in this great country which gave me that opportunity. Who are you to talk about how our country should or should not be ran? Mind your own business. I am one American who don't need or want your opinion.
@@buck546 So the person who lives in the land of the free is telling me i shouldn't have an opinion LMAO.
@@CVTECK1 Who said anything about you stating your opinion?
Australia min wage $913 for a 38 hour week , casuals get an extra 25% because they miss out on 10 paid sick days , about 10 paid public holidays and about 4-6 weeks paid holidays . plus all employers pay about 12% on top of your wage into your superannuation . i`m in the public health care , i`ve used the ambo 5 times , spent about 6 weeks in hospital , throat cancer i had 35 lots of radiation and 3 lots of chemo , had a massive heart attack . total cost $24 for 2 cab rides home because no one could pick me up . lucky country . plus we have paid maternity leave , i think it`s around 25 weeks . a lot of countries in Europe have better conditions than us in Australia . 🫡🫡🫡
