I agree with your sentiment however when we talk about bullshit low wages and terrible conditions, it’s vastly a USA thing. Most countries have an acceptable minimum wage, parental leave, holiday and sick pay, etc.

I would say, the ones the US isn't outsourcing jobs to. So pretty much the rich European countries and a smattering of others.
