Take Back Your Time

Definitely worth considering and passing from hither to yon. A close friend of mine (quite close) has a particular interest in these ideas.

I know it's en vogue to trash the US and say Europeans "do it better;" but in this case there's no arguing with the facts. They take more vacation. I want more vacation. Don't you? We should enjoy our lives; not work hard to make sure we get to enjoy the final few years of our already short lives.

Who convinced us otherwise? Probably the very people who are getting rich because we're working our asses off. Excuse my French.

Tally ho.
