(41,011 posts)I loved the expression on the Italian woman's face when Michael told her the number of weeks of vacation American companies are required to give their employees. At first, she did not believe him when he said zero.
I wish HRC would watch this film & tell us why we can't do these things in our country. Oh yeah, cuz we're bigger & have more people. That's what I'm always told. But that means we also have more resources. So what it really gets down to is TPTB don't want us to have nice things. They want it all for themselves. The Icelandic woman nailed it when she said, "I wouldn't want to live in America. You don't care for each other."
I don't see how we'll ever get change when the electoral system is so corrupt & compromised. The primaries were a mess. Voter turnout will be low this year, so TPTB will get who they want, compliments of electronic voting.
The system isn't broken; the system is fixed.
