ELI5: What in the US culture makes workers accept to work such a large proportion of the available time they have? (Anthropology, Social Sciences)

You haven't made any points. All you keep saying is that the poor get fucked and only the rich win.

The US is the richest country in the world. It got to be that way due to the role it played and because it could sell its stuff all over the world. People in the US are amongst the richest in the world, even the poor. The standards of living have climbed for anyone, including the poorest. The inequality you see today is the highest it's been since the anti trust laws and it's a direct result of the US' domestic policies.

You mention cannon fodder...a large amount of people 'volunteer' because of the same policies. It's insane how so many US people can't seem to grasp that pretty much all the poverty issues are due to your extreme neo lib domestic policies, especially over the last couple of decades.
