Full title: BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just introduced the Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act — a bill to guarantee at least two weeks of paid vacation to every full-time worker in America. Over 90 other members of Congress have already signed on to the legislation.
Two weeks is a pathetic amount of leave. I get four here and Australian workers are still pretty cucked by European standards.
Is this like not including sales taxes in prices so they can pretend they’re earning more than elsewhere, even though you have to take unpaid leave just to have a life outside of work at all?
Two weeks is tons better than the zero we have now, though. I’m 51 and the last time I went on vacation was when I was 12 years old. I have never taken vacation as an adult.
It’s not pathetic. two weeks would be more than my wildest dreams.
