>a cynical view of American exceptionalism is always warranted

Yeah, those weren't my words. Not a cynical view of American exceptionalism. A cynical VERSION of American exceptionalism.

I don't care what Western Europe's statutory policies are. Can you share any facts that show Americans "speed run" vacations and no other country on the planet does?

Considering the statutory minimum in Canada is 10 days - and the average worker between the US and Canada is pretty close in number of days off - I look forward your analysis showing how Canada takes luxurious immersive vacations.

Or more likely: you're like everyone else, where your version of "ONLY IN AMERICA!!" means "America is different than these Nordic countries, therefore it's globally unique".



Well since you are responding to a different person and that person (me) isn’t saying that no other country behaves that way, this is largely moot, since I am only talking about some developed Western European and Commonwealth nations.
