Yes. Terrible culture. I'm glad I spent 11 years in America. I learnt a lot. But in the end, I could not relate to the people and the thing you called a work ethic. To me, it was nothing more than a version of slavery, and the dog-eat-dog society was not something I saw as humane.

Right now, I have a friend who got covid and now he has cancer and hasn't been given long to live. I am devastated. He is faced with Hobson's choice. He either continues work while he has chemotherpay because he needs the medical insurance, or he has no income.

Americans have had no understanding of what really matters for a very long time. Same with the Brits.
