I'm mostly thinking of the UK. I wouldn't call it a paradise though, just normal. For most of my life my Dad worked 12 hours a week (still does) or not at all and the government made up the shortfall and provided a place to live. If in other countries governments don't look after their people (both financially, and in terms of legal protection from exploitative employers) then WTF not? That's weird! |
There is no place on planet earth where average people can live working 12 hours per week without getting a bunch of government assistance. That government assistance is money taken from the productive people and given to generally unproductive people. If someone is provided housing or other assistance by "government", they're being supported by the other people in the society that are willing and able to be more productive.
In other words, the average person in the UK cannot live on 12 hours work per week. The average person in the UK is actually working 37 hours per week.
