Do Americans work harder than Europeans?

I'd like to start off by pointing out that Europeans are a bunch of lazy, woke, socialists who are kind of pathetic. I realize that's harsh...but the truth hurts sometimes. If you're from the EU I'm sorry. Seriously you should move. Not here...we don't want you...perhaps...oh I don't know...

And while I'm at it, the South Koreans and Japanese are so overly stressed they can't even take any vacation. They should move too.

And the Mexicans? I love those guys...our biggest trading partners and they work like...is it wrong to say "like dogs" or is that derogatory.

Have I left any one out? Offended everyone? You know, I feel the pride that comes with a job well done. You're welcome.

BTW...the f-cking World Population Review that did the analysis (orange graphs below) left out Japan and S Korea in their avg work data. So I had to do it myself. Those guys are also lazy!

France: The Art of Working Less, Living More

World Population Review

France doesn’t just tolerate leisure—it mandates it. With a 35-hour legal workweek and five weeks of paid vacation required by law, the French model proves that less time in the office doesn’t mean less productivity.

In fact, France consistently ranks among the world’s most productive economies per hour worked. The culture encourages long lunches, extended holidays in August, and disconnecting after hours—a concept enshrined in the "right to disconnect" law passed in 2017.

🕰️ Little-known fact: By law, many French workers can't even check their email after hours—employers must legally respect their off-time.

I need to give a Spritzler shout out to South Korea and Japan where workers are too stressed or intimidated to take their provide vacation.
