Americans are working longer and harder for less pay and disappearing benefits, with a bleak future and risk of financial ruin of you get sick or terminated.

I mean you're right and that's bad; I'm just pointing out that China has had gruesome 996 working weeks (72 hours/week) for decades IIRC and i'm not sure if chinese people work that much voluntarily or involuntarily.

I've only seen better benefits, pay, and protections over the last 20 years. Not sure what to say.
