YES! Oh my God it is a tragedy that vacations are proudly seen as a thing of the past here.

Imagine living in, say, California and taking a week off just to go surfing or explore some of the national parks or smaller towns. Hell, imagine a country that doesn't try to gatekeep its youth from walkable cities that make it possible to make and have friends to share those vacations with. I'm sorry but, the people in charge are complete misanthropes that want to force their miserable loneliness on others.

I've said it before and I will say it again, the US is the anti-fun country and it's the fault of the puritan WASPs who have no taste in anything.
