Lol damn, God forbid someone want more out of life than scraping by getting basic needs barely met. I’ve been looking around while in school, and plenty of jobs are still paying $15-19/hr. That is barely enough to get by, depending where you live and rent may not even be enough, let alone take a vacation once a year or even think of raising a family.
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.

What do you mean? He used the word ‘need’ and now you’re changing it to ‘wants.’
Why are you conflating needs with wants?
It’s both. Humans need breaks, vacations, etc. I may want to take a vacation to South America but would settle for somewhere North, though.
Woah woah woah. Breaks and vacations are very different things.
It’s funny watching you people conflate needs and wants just like breaks and vacations, lol.
You really need to brush up on your vocabulary!

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.
