But the real killer is average life expectancy.

Check out the southern US states for that, especially Mississippi. It's soul crushing that people think that's okay.

Oooo that must sting.

Also, it’s not just about time off, you can have decent time off (not 6 weeks, but decent), but the culture can be hyper competitive.

The obvious problem is that the United States missed the Revolutions of 1848 because they were trying to figure out how to be the Red Wizards of Thay before it existed.

Do an even better comparison: school vacaancies with work vacancies. That's real life. GPT/BARD might help speed it up

Are we gonna include school shooting deaths in those vacancies? Because for some absolutely unknown reason American schools suffer from mysterious shooting deaths multiple times a year. It's so strange and mysterious and there is absolutely no way to stop it. Like, there is literally nothing to do about all the school shootings every single year for the last few decades.
