That third one is true for most of western europe. Not america. But I suspect it won't be true for western europe for much longer, starting with the UK and Germany when AfD get in.
The rest are bs.
This just demonstrates that propaganda through treats is the strongest form of propaganda because that's where the Chinese have gotten all of these ideas, the depiction of american lives in american entertainment products. Entertainment industry products should be a priority focus of any leftist state's propaganda machine. Television, movies and videogames.
Oh yeah, I'm an American and I WISH that any of these were true
The fact that there wasn't one negative "rumor" really shocked me. My impression was that the entire world thinks of this country as a joke of a hellhole
Sorry to break it to you but everyone thinks of your country like a movie set in a 1990s high class suburb.
Every American either lives like the Simpsons, the family at the start of interstellar, or the cast of Friends,
You have no idea how badly I wish it was
Immigrant workers are definitely exploited more than 40h/week in western Europe, and unpaid extra time is also plaguing most new hires in consulting and financial office jobs.
Yeah that's fair. This is why I chose "most" rather than just saying it is true for those here. Generally speaking social safety nets are what keep these total hours down, people can (usually) claim enough to survive, meaning that they can actually just be unemployed rather than forcing upon themselves absurd hours just to avoid homelessness. These nets aren't always easily accessible if totally honest about circumstances though, and they're not accessible to various migrants or those without documents.
Idk what country you're talking about. I'm Spanish, and the "safety net" during unemployment is going back to living with your parents, which is a form of houselessness (not in the sense that you live on the streets but in the sense that you don't have income to rent or buy a place)
