In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.

Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.

    Going to the beach is nicer in a swimsuit than a heavy coat and mittens.

    I’d rather do pretty much anything in the heat of Summer than during any of the winter months.

      There are more than two seasons, and the others are both far more tolerable than summer or winter.

          Sure, but we’re talking specifically about the US. August is typically the hottest time of year in essentialy every part of the country, aside from maybe Hawaii and San Diego, where the weather barely changes.
