Someone Explain This To Me

Conservatives preach family values. Yet, when it comes to vacation time, the corporations say, "hey, two weeks is enough." Where's the value in that? I'm sure an argument is that corporations can't offer more vacation time and remain competitive. However, that argument fails when you take into consideration the European nations that offer six weeks.

Eat the rich (shoot them first if they are convicted of white-collar crimes).

Any more than 2 weeks and the drones might chill enough to notice their brains again

There's an article in this month's Harper's that address your very same theory.

I do not envy the Europeans. They "enjoy" a near 10% unemployment rate, while ours is roughly 5.5% and falling. We enjoy a standard of living unequaled anywhere in the world, while Europeans earn less and their "free" socialized healthcare system is failing. I doubt most people would trade places with the Germans, the French, the Dutch, etc. merely to get an extra 2 weeks off per year. Given the great amount of freedom we have, why not work hard, start your own business and take as much time off as you want!

While waiting for life that sucks to die, why not listen to my favorite unsigned bands: TQ's Garage Band Playlist.
