Muricans are overwhelmingly against what serves their best interests because they are under the belief they are only temporally unsuccessful and will one day become some fat cat multi millionare CEO reaping the rewards of what they believe are people lower than them. Meanwhile they are living in a trailer park, crumbling grim suburb or shitty apartment thst takes 60% of their salary working 12 hour shifts, paying 30% of their income in taxes for hardly more than minimum wage without any health care, paid holidays, paid sick leave, paid maternatiy leave, guaranteed emplyee contract so they won't be fired at any moment for arbitrary reasons, or pension and will vote for the best interests of abusive corporations that want to fuck them in the ass and call them Sally rather than for their own best interests. It's very common there for some reason.

I lived in Murica and now in a country that fought for labour laws before America existed and my life is really cushy and safeguarded compared to Murica. I get all those things I mentioned and I'm just an average guy. To get an employee contract where you can't be fired without notice, 1 month paid holidays. Paid sick leave, pension etc in murica you need to be a harvard graduate working a top level position in some 1% forbes top 10 company.

Average people there have it really poorly and they go against what would improve their overall life because they are deluded and naive to think that the American dream is anything but just a dream and that they are better than they really are and just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and prey to Jesus and then they will live in bliss when in reality their lives are awful and they enjoy getting buttfucked by their employers (cliche and run on sentence as I am drunk and on a 1 week paid holiday now but it's true).

What country do you come from? Unions are more of a thing in America because they don't have their shit together. Where I live here unions are basically just a non needrd council to act for you most of the time in case something extreme happens as we already have rights as workers.
