The gigantic American fear of anything even remotely to the left.

Probably one of the reasons your social safety net has so much bigger holes in it than a lot of (all?) European countries.


Don't worry, many of us -- including, I imagine, all Americans here -- know that. And yes, it has much bigger holes than all European countries as well as Australia, Canada, Japan.

The gigantic American fear of the left is a fear held mostly by the right. Which, believe it or not represents only about half of Americans.

For example, it is one of just a handful of countries in the world that does not offer paid leave to new parents. The others are Papua New Guinea, Suriname, Micronesia, The Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, and Tonga.

And that is precisely why the U.S. wouldn't do it then.

You're welcome  :)

I don't know why USA picked another day instead of going with the rest of the world.

My guess is because May 1 became associated with Socialism and Anarchism.

It is indeed, that's the whole point of it!
