We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days.

Not just bad, it's worst.

Mexican, Korean, Japanese, American working hours is nothing compared to ours. Reddit always say Japan has the worst work culture. Well they have no clue. First runner up isnt even close to us. And we have the highest property price in the world. We live in the hell, literally. Its a consesus here that if you are not the few % of lucky ppl who get great jobs, you can never ever afford a property by yourself. If you rent, your saving is basically 0. You can never come back from that. Google "cage home hong kong". One third of median salary for renting a cage to live in. And this is just one of the problems we have. There is no future for us. I would do anything to move to any whiner's country in this post. Maybe its terrible to you. To us, you guys are living in the heaven. I practice programming after long working hours everyday because there seems to be great demand in western countries. I hope I can leave this shithole one day. Sorry for the rant.
