In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.

Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.

    We don’t have these things because 50% of the population is dumb as bricks and is voting against their own interest.

      It’s not even 50% tits our fucked up districts, and also it’s gotten like this because of legislation to defund education. But younger voters are becoming more informed, change can happen. It will take effort and time though.

        Hey man if there’s one thing the defunded schools taught me, it’s that America is the greatest country in the universe.

          So I stood up and told that teaching lady, “the only letters I need to know are U, S, and A!”
