    What a stupid take! 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.

    China is funding research universities and subsidizing Chinese students, while the US is killing scholarships and starting fights with top universities over politics.

      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.
