teach children the horrors of capitalism, now they understand school is the same as work except slightly better.

Totally agree, except for school being better. Fuck school, from the bottom of my heart. Now I at least have the freedom to allocate some free time for my self and work on 1 thing that I understand. Not do homework for a million unrelated classes until my teachers stops bullying me or I kick the bucket.

Idk, I decided to not work on Fridays (a 20% pay reduction, but I personally feel it's worth it) and there are like 50 weeks in a year, coupled with 5 weeks of payed vacation, since I only work 4 days that's 50+5*4=70, which is over 2 months. And since I have no homework I can actually fucking enjoy my vacation and long weekends too!

It just dawned on me I'm assuming you have the same work benefits as in Europe... If you live in a country that's not blue than YIKES! I feel sorry for ya.

"Minimum mandatory" is doing some distortion here. There are countries where the vacation days can only be reduced with extra payments.

I believe a much larger share of the world will fall into the last category if you focus on "number of vacation a person can expect to have at no cost if they want it". The 30 days is kinda of a standard.
