Can I use it here?

Most people get 2-3 weeks worth a year, maybe more if you're a longtime employee. It's not France or UK level but it definitely exists.

If you're working a contract job or some immigrant under-the-table job then maybe you won't get PTO, but that's because those gigs last only a few months anyway.

Sounds like you're conflating "productivity" with "time spent actually moving and doing shit". Average productivity's gone up because of technology; people can set up meetings on the fly, communicate with each other instantly at or away from work, use various machinery to do shit etc.

An engineer twiddling around on autocad can get presentable work done far, far fucking faster than if he had to draft and calculate everything by hand. With the same amount of allotted hours in the work day the guy using autocad produces more usable results than the manual drafter. He's productive, much more so. Even at a place you wouldn't think is that different in work than decades back, like working a grocery store, a guy standing there watching a bunch of self-checkout machines is more productive if they're all being used than a guy behind a register bagging groceries, even though he's just standing there letting machines do the work.

Over here the average income is 30k a year. min wage is 18k a year.

If you've done a Bsc and master in something like software engineering you're making a whooping 30-35k. While in the US they pay you 80-100k for the same.

You're pretty much very chained to the government with taxes as well. Because the first 18k you make gets taxed at 36%, second bracket is 18-55k which gets taxed at 42%, everything over 55k is 52%.

VAT is 21%. Mortgage average I guess 6% if you were smart about it. Average house in a not shitty neighborhood 250k, you must have 20% or so up front otherwise you can't get a mortgage.

This is also why a significant amoutn of people under 30 still live with their parents, you just can't move out easily, and if you do its some shitty shared room because everything is too expensive. Rentable appartment easily has a rent of 600 a month which is unpayable with most salaries.

And yet American companies still grant vacations, imagine that

Paid vacation days are not free money. You represent a cost to your employer, your paycheck is calculated respective to that cost. The paid vacation days are factored in. If the government forced employers to buy a watermelon for all their employees, the cost of that watermelon would be deducted from their paycheck. So they employees would all have a nice big watermelon, but their pay would be lower. The effective result is that the government has forced the employees to spend a certain % of the money they earn on watermelon.

So basically what the government is saying to the employee is that we're going to force you to spend a certain % of the money you make taking vacations. Not only that, but even if you want to work longer hours you aren't allowed to. Therefore the employee loses the freedom to decide how to spend his money, and also his time.

No. If you are a Slave, you get paid rain or shine, work or rest. You are a slave, and you must be provided for. A free man can exchange his time and effort (work) for resources and/or money. A free man is no longer a free man in any scenario that deviated from that simple equation.

So what you're saying is that Americans are so financially retarded, that even though they get paid higher salaries and pay less taxes, they waste it all and are overall poorer than nations with lower salaries and higher taxes.

Bravo. Truly an accomplishment, to have the best financial situation in the world and be capable of throwing it all away.

Most yuro countries have like an 80% death tax on inheritance. The differences in average wealth are not going to be because of inheritance.

It is going to be becasue you are a bunch of financial children who get distracted by the next overpriced hand bag, silver skin tight pride top or miley cyrus single and so cannot actually into respecting your asset base and finances.

Reading books doesn't cost you anything you fucking retard, go to a library. They also help you learn, in case you didn't know. A hobby can help you create things, if that's what you like. I agree that most modern conversations are full of shitty false platitudes and mundane discussion, but you can always find a group of people to discuss your interests with dedicated to doing so. If you can't, then see above
