LOUD AND CLEARLY that the vast majority of the working class actually never go on vacation.

I worked my ass off for about 50 years and I only had one paid vacation back when I was in my thirties. And when I got back, my company punished me for taking it regardless of the fact that I had EARNED it.

So this fucking 8 week paid vacation on our dime really pisses me off as much as all the other reasons this should piss everyone off.
