America has an employment policy called “at-will” which grants employees and employers the right to terminate employment at any time for any “legal” reason. (This can be abused and skewed in favor of the employer)
Which started and was pushed as an anti-union thing, much like ‘right to work’ which is a state-wide rule that says you can work somewhere with a union without joining said union - which increases number of workers for less pay, weakens the union itself via lost dues and bargaining leverage, and encourages rhetoric against organized collective bargaining.
Hey, hey, we have paid sick days. Some places. It’s just they give us about 5 days per year and after that we have to dip into our PTO. Which we get maybe 2 weeks of per year. Because we are so much better and more free than those European commies!
So, Americans.

I’ve never understood any worker defending this. It’s disgusting.
Literal decades of propaganda and scapegoating got us here… I don’t know how we are supposed to find our way back to reason

Bingo! Yeah, it’s bad there.
