@Kalshann@mastodon.social just fyi:
- the current Dutch government wants to reduce that to 1y
- people regularly go to work with covid/flu and infect others even though they could just stay home when sick
- if you become disabled as an adult and don't have employment at the time (e.g. you're in college like I was when I got long covid, or self-employed) you're fucked because there's no way to get disability benefits when you don't have a job

@obfusk@tech.lgbt Oh, I'm not really trying to idealize Dutch or European practices - every nation and corporate structure has something going on that's wrong. I just know that most US workers don't even know there are better options. A lot of the socialist side of things end up with problems about where cut offs are or where they should be; how things get implements and who's getting pushed out in the cold. This sounds like it's par for the course, honestly.
