Searched 5 sitesHere's a quick comparison of paid vacation days, sick days, and work hours across the U.S., France, England, Germany, and Japan:

Paid Vacation Days 🌴

France : 30 days (5 weeks) mandatory

Germany : 20-30 days (4-6 weeks)

England (UK) : 28 days (incl. public holidays)

Japan : 10-20 days (depends on tenure)

U.S. : 0 federally mandated (avg. 10-15 days via employer policy)


Paid Sick Days 🤒

France : Unlimited (with doctor’s note)

Germany : 6 weeks full pay, then reduced

England (UK) : £109.40/week after 4+ days off

Japan : 60% pay after 3 days (varies by company)

U.S. : 0 federal requirement (some states mandate 5-7 days)

Fun fact: The U.S. is the only OECD country without federally mandated paid vacation or sick leave. Meanwhile, France’s 30 days off is the envy of many! 😅

OK, American tax-paying public, do you feel that hard working American employees are well treated in comparison to these other developed nations? No political rhetoric please.

itle: Trump Signed His Big Beautiful Bill. Medicaid Cost Savings vs Ethical Disaster.

By Mary Hoadley, with some help from ChatGPT

Donald Trump has just signed the Big Beautiful Bill into law. Some are calling it a victory for cutting government spending. But after researching it through ChatGPT and other sources, what I found is shocking — and it could affect you or someone you love, no matter how you vote. At this time, there have been some changes from the Senate bill.

The law makes nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, the health care program that supports:

Seniors in nursing homes

Rural hospitals

People with disabilities

Veterans

Children with serious illness

Immigrant families and communities of color

Medicaid covers life-saving tools like:

Insulin for diabetes

Dialysis for kidney failure

Oxygen tanks for lung conditions

Wheelchairs for mobility

Cancer drugs and mental health care

And here’s what many don’t realize:
Millions of Trump voters depend on this care — especially in rural areas where Medicaid is often the only safety net. In the U.S., 24.4% of our population live in rural areas and 35% of our nation's hospitals are in rural areas. This is not just about someone else. It’s about your town, your family, your future.

I asked ChatGPT:
If a government passes a law that takes away care in a way that mostly hurts ethnic minorities and the poor — and causes suffering, death, or displacement — could that be seen as ethnic cleansing or a crime against humanity?

The answer:
Yes, especially if the harm is large-scale and targeted, even indirectly.

Now ask yourself:
If this bill was allowed to pass relatively quietly, what comes next?

Trump says Medicare and Social Security are off limits. But he also said he wouldn’t touch Medicaid.
He just did.
Medicare and Social Security could be next.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to pay attention.

This isn’t about being anti-Trump. This is about being pro-human.

No one should lose the care they need to stay alive—no matter their income, background, or political party.

Please stay informed. Please speak up.
