    There’s no Americans bragging about that. Corporations and the government, sure. The rest of us are to busy living in pain

    I recall going to the UK after brexit, to a house party with family friends. I was hounded with how do you function with only a 2 week holiday. I then shared i had 4 weeks after 5 years. They were so confused that we could function with less than 6 weeks of vacation.

    Burn out in the USA is a real thing. Our politicians will never vote for a mandatory vacation for anyone other than them selves

    lower unemployment

    Doesn’t matter, I can only have two, maybe three jobs at once so any more than that is irrelevant to me

    higher growth

    I get the same $8/hr whether the GDP goes up, stays the same or goes down. You can’t leave workers out of the distribution of wealth and then pretend that more wealth is good for workers
