At least half of those are not unique to the United States. Lots of countries have problems with militarised police. And of course racism is universal.

Nobody does racism like the Italians.

Middle East, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia: "Am I a joke to you?"

[-] merridew@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, maternity leave! The US approach is bonkers.

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t get two weeks holiday yet. 5 days this year and I had none my first year.

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

You're actually fucking kidding me, right? That's... inhuman. Can you move overseas?

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wish. I’m looking at other jobs now that I have some time off for interviews.

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. You're fortunate if you get 2 weeks in the US as a general rule.
