May be true to some extend in NA in some part but not all parts though, however still if given a chance and right opportunity the masses in the so called third worlds still would honestly prefer to live in the first world for the said benefits in the article in spite of the other drawbacks as stated.
We got only one life after all isn't?

Many stores in US and Canada are open 24 hours/extended hours. So the writer's experience of 'first world' is not correct as it based only on his experience of Brussels.
Also, not all business have holidays often as reflected in the article. May be applicable to the professionals and big organizations, but ever heard about people working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week here in NA?
On the contrary though, I have heard that Europeans are more workoholics than NAs. Looks like this writer has very biased opinions of Developed countries. Mere a generalization and nothing else.
I still think, third world has a lot to catch up with first 'developed' world. Alas! This topic has done to death in the past, so nothing new to add.
