Even without a statutory minimum, though, has anyone ever known an American with a full-time salaried job who didn't get any vacation from their employer?

There's a lot of people without full time salaried jobs. I've known full time hourly people who got unpaid vacation time. In this Gig Economy I keep reading about it would not happen. But even people who get time off are not taking all of it.
Google comes up with 1,480,000,000 answers to, "why are people not taking vacation time?" Quote:

I just went looking at those European vacation laws in greater detail, thinking that hourly part-time folks didn't actually get those benefits--but they do! After working part time for just one month, employees in the UK and Germany start accruing paid vacation days. That's almost unbelievable.

People are moving less and not as far...
Maybe the ones who want to can't afford it. And the ones who can afford it don't want to.

The best part of that vid HAS to be the first 45 seconds. Dude's acting @ sec 1 like he's already been stung. He's breathless, nervous, looks like he's got the vapors.
And then they cut to the placement of the ant, and then the sting. Great audio. And I stand by my opinion as stated in post #2439.

This was put online by Bill Gates to show we don't know what we think we know. People die every day but not from what we think.

News is never about what we already know. How often does the news report that the orbit of Earth has not changed?
News can only report known changes. Most people who die even must have their estate pay for the obituary. Otherwise the media often does not report it. Just another same old - same old. Not newsworthy. We can sing about "Here comes the Sun". But that past event is not newsworthy even where rain was happening every three days. |

There is no way he functions in daily life. No. Way.
