Maybe they treat their workers better.
Maybe the pax arent such scum.
Maybe life in general is better leading to happier people overall.
Maybe they dont pay peanuts and so dont get monkeys.
Maybe the bosses dont have so much power to mistreat their workforce.
Maybe you are imagining things and they arent so different.
Maybe the rest of western Europe isnt so focused on cash and efficiency.
Maybe they arent given the power to lord over everyone else.
Maybe they arent as stupid and anal as us in making and enforcing stupid rules.
I could go on endlessly but Im sure there are a few in there that would apply.
Someone should do a study.
