36. Despite our longer hours we have a lower standard of living

More plutocracy, more income inequality, more predatory social/economic practices, more crime, worse public transit, worse health, less security.

Over here you work an extra 500 hours a year, but all the gains just go to corporate profits and income for the top 5%. And at the end of the year we are more insecure, sicker and more vulnerable than Europeans because of it.
