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

We are voting to give ourselves an increase on per diem, but we are also cutting food stamps benefits.
