  • Are you guys living on a different planet to me? Unemployment is at a high is developed nations. Companies are going bankrupt on a massive scale. Who has money to spend on extended holidays? Certainly not the States. They are only allowed 10 days of unpaid holiday a year in the majority of cases. Do your market research properly please.
