Replying to @memeticsisyphus

It works in the Netherlands due to it's homogeneity. It is a high-trust society, and because of this, they are honest with their sick days. They can see how their work actively affects their culture, since it is both homogeneous and a physically small country. The U.S., especially in our current cultural climate, is far too divided to implement something like this. Anti-Americans love to use the Netherlands as an example but then fail to recognize that they only reason it works in the Netherlands is due to their high sense of individual responsibility to themselves and their community. But these same types who laud the Netherlands are the usually "the types that say “I’m not going in because I don’t feel like it, now pay me.” The only way it could work in the U.S. is at the state level I imagine, and if that individual state has enough trust and cultural homogeneity to combat those who try and take advantage of the system.
