#VACATION

[ahmadwaleed55]

Dear friends,

The war has returned with a devastating force. Bombings and loss of life have intensified beyond measure, and the destruction is everywhere. The markets, once bustling with life, are now barren, and where goods are still available, their prices have soared beyond reach. In these trying times, my family and I are facing unimaginable hardship. We are in desperate need of your support more than ever. Your generosity can make all the difference in helping us secure the basics—food, clean water, and medicine. Our situation is critical, and we are struggling to survive under the weight of these soaring costs. Please, extend your hand to us during this time of extreme need. We can’t do this without you.

OR

Vetted!!!

Aww! Thank you! I'm having a great time! I want on a vacation like this 6 or so months ago and it was really fun! I might right down this vacation like a novel too! (Thanks for the idea!) It would be shorter though, because it's only a weekend trip.

Hope you have a wonderful day! Lord bless you! 🤍

One of the most personal, saddest things about living in America is the summertime.

There is 0 reason for American adults not to have a summer break. I can only say this with a full throat so loud, but other countries have policies and laws that give adults summertime.

It is not a joke to say France is kind of shutdown for August. There are over a dozen countries that have enough mandatory, legally required leave available to take an entire month off, or more. PLUS mandatory PAID holidays.

It's Brazil and Russia (ooh scary BRIC countries outgrowing the US and coming for us). India AND China give up to 2 weeks mandatory vacation leave, plus sick leave on top.

It's Afghanistan (20 days). It's Angola (22). It's Argentina(25) and Armenia (25) and Australia (20). It's Cambodia (technically unlimited; you can eventually get 15 or 17 days per month vacation).

That us on top of mandatory PAID public holidays. Cambodia can somehow manage 27 mandatory paid holidays plus upwards of 18 vacation days per year and going up from there, and we in the US can't even manage mandatory paid holidays.

We don't even get paid on Christmas and Memorial Day. And even trying to convince some people, let alone politicians, that everyone should get paid on Christmas is unfair to compare to pulling teeth.

Please. Please. I want to have a better life. I want you to have a better life.

I want you to not miss Summer Break. Because France and Cambodia don't.
