Americans Lose Faith That Hard Work Leads to Economic Gains, WSJ-NORC Poll Finds

I can only say: welcome to the EU!

I mean, you're not there yet of course, but that's how we've all felt in the EU for at least 50 years now. If work, in any amount, cannot change your social position then the game becomes finding whatever excuse to work as little as possible.

I must say, I'm feeling depressed this month. Can't. I just can't.

The EU on average gets more vacation time at least.
