I’m concerned about the 21% who don’t want a better quality of life. What’s going on with them?

Strangely enough if you asked Europeans if they wanted high American Salaries they would also say yes.

The question is loaded and I guess 21% can think it through (or their company already gives them better).

We are talking about a few weeks of holidays, it’s something they can afford. Europeans can. The people that already have better and don’t want the same for everyone are selfish and not thinking much about what could happen to them in the future.
