@vengeance: That is super neat, too. Do the Netherlands do a lot of volunteerism as a whole or is it more just certain people? I feel like America is more just a certain group of people like to help out while I feel other countries have a lot more community involvement (and that is just a baseless assumption, ahaha).
@Turtle Sensei: Hey, how's it going! I'm doing well.

@Nebulae: we have quite some volunteerism. But it could be more if we didn't have a 40 hour work week. You need to work that amount to make a decent living. So that makes it hard for lots of people to do volunteer work.

@vengeance: Ah, yeah, sadly in America-- for most people-- we should be working at least 50-60 hours to live comfortable. Based on minimum wage, anyway.

@Nebulae: Yeh I know most people also need 2 jobs over there. Our minimum wages are alright. You won't earn a huge amount but you also aren't poor if you work fulltime.

@vengeance: I know too many people who actually work three jobs. I myself have worked two jobs while also going to college (so essentially 3). It's not easy and after a while it's not worth it. We really need to get a better minimum wage or something. >W< But I'm glad to hear you guys can live fairly well on a normal 40 hour work week!

@Nebulae: You guys need to. But all I hear is "but then things get more expensive" from people who have no money problems.

@vengeance: Lmao, yeah, pretty much. To be fair though, usually when we raise minimum wage, other prices go up, too, including food. Since business have to pay out more for workers, they have to raise their prices to compete. So unless you are a super giant like Walmart or something, you can't afford to raise your rates while keeping your prices fair. It's a catch 22 most often.

@Nebulae: But do the big players even raise their wages? I feel like they also squeez out their workers.
