So what’s your point, Max? Are you honestly saying you want the U.S. government to mandate how many days off businesses must provide their employees? That’s pretty cool. Can you throw in a longer lunch hour, too? I’d appreciate it. Is a nanny-state that provides you with a few more days off your dream, or something? It would appear the French weren’t happy enough with their extra days off to elect the hard-line socialist that would enable those practices to continue. Maybe living in a country that tells you how much you can or cannot work is not as rainbowish as it sounds, eh? People like you with short-sighted theories about how great it would be if the government had more control need to ask yourself the following: how is it that the U.S. has been, and remains, such an economic superpower? It’s the free market, baby! It’s a natural stimulant for productivity and creativity. Want to put a stop to both of those… implement some governmental control. Sounds like a great idea!
