pantslessprogressive: Via Ezra Klein, today is a good day to remember that the U.S. is the only advanced country that doesn’t guarantee paid vacation days and paid holidays. About a quarter of U.S. workers don’t receive paid time off.  Not surprisingly, low-income employees and part-time employees are less likely to get paid time off, with less than half of low-income workers receiving paid vacation days. And let’s not forget that approximately 7.26 million Americans work more than one job.

It pisses me off that people thought they had the “right” to do some shit like this to another being.

This hurts my soul
