Sweden here we only get 5 weeks vacay. 480 days parental leave though.
People in America and Japan… “‘only’ 5 weeks?!”
Don't forget we don't have a limited amount of days were allowed to be sick either.
So, 5 weeks more than we get! That sounds amazing!
Canadian here. I signed a contract with 4weeks of vacation that was changed to 'unlimited' this year. So far I've taken 5 weeks and have a 6th week approved in November.
I haven't used any sick days but they're unlimited. If you take more than 3 in a row, you need a doctors note.
15 weeks parental leave that can be split between partners (father can use none/some/all to look after child while mother goes back to work)
My state now has mandatory parental leave, about a year after me and my wife had decided that we didn't want more kids. Oh well. At least people in the future will benefit.
At least youre not the type to try to stop something because you missed the window on benefitting from it
Even if I were it wouldn't apply in this case. Having a society with programs like this in place helps everyone even indirectly. I am fine with greed as long as it goes beyond basic right in front of you.
We all benefit from a better world. Sure some more than others but all at least some.
Tuscan farmer: that's strange, I don't remember there being a meth lab there...
The mob would have a field day
Nah, the left Sicily where it was.
Italy has plenty of mob besides Sicily.
So I get rid of the land border with France, but in exchange I get a land border with USA - possibly the only worse country.
Also we lose Sicily and their awesome food and women but we get to keep Sardinia, where the best food is cheese with worms and the best women are one meter tall with moustache.
Bad deal man.
And remember you get a border with the worst part of the USA, even better!
At least there's no Corsica anymore (Sardinia but Fr*nch 🤢)
Fam, corsicans are the only ones who hate French more than us, they are welcome to rejoin Italy whenever they want.
So I get rid of the land border with France, but in exchange I get a land border with USA - possibly the only worse country.
We're not going to go to all that trouble just to keep the damn place. You get the worst of both worlds: French Floridians!
Putting the Vatican below the Bible belt is going to be a disaster
Nah most of the bible belt are baptists, evangelicals, and people who don't even believe in Christianity but use it as a cover for their fascist bullshit. There is no universe where they would get along with Catholics. Having them be that close to the Catholics would probably result in another protestant vs catholic war.
US Catholics have adapted a lot of the beliefs from the protestant-oriented groups in the US. Try asking Paul Ryan or Rick Santorum if they accept the Vatican's official stance on evolution and watch them squirm. Having the Vatican be right there would be . . . difficult.
It would still be a disaster what ever happens. I never said them getting along would cause said disaster
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
Nah not really, the catholic church loves going below the belt
Well, the Italian government is going full-on neo-fascist, so it'd probably be a wash, but the food would be so much better!
I'm into it, and I can see mexico and Cuba being into it as well.
NO GOD PLEASE NO
Being in the EU is like the one good part of the Italian government, if you take that out I guarantee we’ll somehow manage to be even worse neighbors than Florida
Likewise. Having trump and orban derail EU together is my worst nightmare. Please, keep an eye on your Florida. Don't let it sh1t in my backyard.
Counterpoint: I want authentic Italian food
Then come to Italy (or rather: go to France or Austria near the border so you can enjoy Italian food without actually dealing with living in Italy)
I live in Georgia USA I've been to FL way too many times Europe doesn't deserve this.
It's amazing how quickly it turns to shit on I-75 S when you cross the border. You can just feel the nastiness.
Meth production triples in Europe in just weeks of Florida's arrival!
NOBODY wants Florida.
I grew up in FL and now live in pacific northwest, still not far enough away....
I've never been to Florida. Just the right amount of times
As someone who lives very close to the new florida location I REALLY don't want florida
White text on a black background reading "I have a plan"
Below the text is two images, the one on the left is of the southeastern coast of America with Italy and Cuba in the location of Florida and its Keys, and the image on the right is that of southern and western Europe with Florida and its Keys in the location of Italy and Cuba.

good human
Thank you, fellow human 🤖
That would be awesome.. A Mecca for rednecks/Republicans replaced by walkable cities, a nice countryside, vibrant communities, lovely cafes, and awesome pizza.
When does the work begin lol
You take Italy and we sink Florida in the Atlantic. Then it's a deal
Yeah, but the Balkans have enough problems already and don't need that shit.
Maybe make it an island?!
Florida is already attaching floaties to their beaches. It'll be on the way soon!
Well thank you, but no thank you.
We got enough conservatives as it is.
Sincerely
Your would-be neighbour
This is applicable to both of them, WTF.
Well you see, Florida would have to adapt to EU rules or lose all the EU funding.
And we don't tolerate POS like DeSantis.
So give it time, and it will all settle like it is now.
You say that, but Berlusconi was Prime Minister of Italy for a long time.
Corsica is now under the sea
Have to crack some eggs if you want an omelete.
Omelette du fromage
Didi!!
This made me realize that Florida is a penis.
just deleting florida would be better
An absolute downgrade. No sane person would ever want Fl*rida to replace Italy
I mean if that means Italy would be closer to me, and florida much much further away I think that would make me sane to want to switch.
And you move that shithole to our continent
Dump it in the middle of the pacific?
No, send it straight back to hell, where it belongs
It's the perfect plan
As someone that lives in Florida, would we go over to Europe or do we stay here in the new Italian location?
Some weird choices there with Sardinia and Sicily
And Corsica just vanishes
What if you take them off and forget to put them back?
(Sorry for the affected... maybe)
Maybe we just stick them together in the middle of the Atlantic?
The best plan.
They’ve already got the sinking spirit of Atlantis going.
No one would be able to tell politically but the food would definitely be different.
now "the florida man who went to malta" will change from a skit into a newspaper headline
TIL that Florida is basically the same size as Italy. Weird.
But oddly Italy is a much more attractive land mass. Florida just looks like a limp dick
Complete with jap's eye.
There's got to be a better term dude
I'm not speaking for him but you've clearly not been to the UK
Why is a shitpost like this the first time I'm reading of this. Why isn't this an issue in european newspapers?
Because it's not news until a catastrophic eruption is imminent, I guess? Same reason geological stuff isn't an issue in west coast American newspapers.
Because it's mostly hyped in pseudo scientific news. Yes it's a super vulcano, there will be some evacuations happening. But no, there will not be a super eruption.
Something something Georgia
I was about to say that florida can keep their fascist regime, then i remembered that italy is going for a second round as well, so...
That's one way for Giorno to appear in Stone Ocean
@The_Picard_Maneuver Finally, some good food in Florida that isn't Cuban or Caribbean 😅
I accept your offer
Looks more phalic
From America’s wang to Vera Wang in one easy step.
If we need to take Florida, I want Cuba in the Mediterranean Sea as well.
Probably.
But since Sardinia seems to have folloewd Italy to the Americas and Corsica looks like it vanished, could we get Cuba in their place?
I love how Sicily doesn't follow the rest of the country
Yes leave sicily behind fuck them
Why are you taking Sardinia, but not Sicilia
Maybe because Cuba gets in the way smh
I like how italy looks like a boot in europe but it becomes a dick in USA
Neighbors in one will gain good pizza, what Mike the others… not so much
The introduction of gators into the Alps would certainly garner attention.
I guess with the lower temperature they'd be less of a threat.
Only for the short term, they'll adapt and be stronger than ever
And don’t forget, these aren’t normal gators…
These are meth-fueled Florida gators who are as likely to ban books as they are maul a skier.
The Alps won’t know what hit ‘em.
Then I'd be an E.U. citizen? Fuck yeah! Give me two months of vacation!
My condolences, but Florida immediately voted for Flexit
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!
I bet they would if you called it that
Watch them join the british commonwealth to help them cope with the decision
Sweden here we only get 5 weeks vacay. 480 days parental leave though.
People in America and Japan… “‘only’ 5 weeks?!”

We all benefit from a better world. Sure some more than others but all at least some.
We don't have 2 months vacation..
Or hyperbole, apparently :(
Four weeks, two months, whatever, they're both still infinitely more than Americans are guaranteed, which is zero.
reeeeeee you hate America!!!!!!!!!

Sooo... New Orleans?
As a effectively Canadian that just moved to Florida zis is tri bone non
Knowing very little about the two islands, I find the contrasting descriptions hilarious.
And don’t you wish you kept knowing very little? Instead… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu

I second this. Hell I might even third it.
Trade Offer:
You receive: Alligators, Meth
You Give: Debt, Mafia
No one is happy. That is how you know you have reached a compromise.

At least with the Alligators you can negotiate.
Why is Italy a penis?
Yes, because the food would be better.
Fuck you, we're not giving you Italy!
Florida attached to Europe looks mildly like a penis.
Florida
attached to Europelooks mildly like a penis.Florida
attached to Europelooksmildlylike a penis.You might want to get that checked out
Sweden and Finland are literally a penis, balls included
We don't need that, we already have Scandinavia.
I really don't know who the biggest losers are in that trade.
Europe. Florida has flying cockroaches.
Europe, Italy has some of the best food
Europe, losing part of the mountains will hurt water and weather
Definitely Sicily, they get wiped out in this plan... .
Yes! I don't want Florida in europe!

But italy has a population 3 times higher. And its a place where you actually would want to stay.
"basically"
From my rudimentary looking at a map the US would get tiny Italians and we would get 2.5 if not 3m tall Floridians.
Italy going from just a boot, to a boot about to kick Cuba's ass.
This sort of thing always makes me think of this Bugs Bunny scene
