Yeah no we don’t do that here. That’s considered socialism and stifling the right to labor all you want in America.
We’ve also been in the process of abandoning the 40 hour work week that our ancestors fought and died for with things like frequent mandatory overtime and unpaid lunch.
I actually had no idea some countries got guaranteed resting hours. I’ve worked 12 days in a row once and I was even in a union then.
Freedom, "unregulated" and anarchy are basically the same things, just from different perspectives. Honing selfishness ensures that you can easily sell shitty government with "freedom".
You are free to carry guns. Of course that also means you are less protected from other assholes who are also free to carry guns.
You are free to work as much as you like! Of course you also can be systemically forced to work more than you want, then.
I think there actually are requirements (I might be wrong) but it's just very often ignored.
I've at least had restrictions about how many days in a row I could work at every job I've had. That goes out the window though with multiple jobs
