    Please do explain the difference, then, between why breaks are necessary but vacations shouldn’t be? You do realize study after study shows that 24-30 hour work weeks provide the most productivity? That family leave, healthcare, paid time off etc is associated with the happiest citizens? Is increased well-being not necessary in your worldview?

      between why breaks are necessary but vacations shouldn’t be?

      One is literally necessary for survival while the other isn’t. This is the difference between a ‘need’ and a ‘want.’

      Is increased well-being not necessary in your worldview?

      Considering how many people are able to live a significantly lower quality of life than what you’re advocating for, no. It’s not a ‘need.’ It’s a ‘want.’ There’s no limit to ‘increased well being.’ There is a limit to what the human body can take before it can no longer go on living.

      Might want to brush up on your vocabulary. This is a pretty simple concept that even 2nd graders have no problem understanding.

        Yeah, second graders get longer vacations than I do, interesting ain’t it. Maybe you need one cuz your brain seems to be working overtime to justify people suffering.

          I’m not justifying anyone suffering.

          I’m educating adults on the difference between needs and wants because they have the vocabulary of a pre-schooler.

          Apparently the reading comprehension, too. Lol.

            Keep insulting people that are suffering, really must do you a lot of favors when you’re talking to someone in person.

              Man, you just don’t quit do you.

              Gonna block you now. You clearly need more life experience to be taken seriously. Lol.

                I need a vacation, you might say? Or do you need me to work hard enough by your standards to earn it? You haven’t even seen my resume. Sorry you can’t handle criticism.
