How many vacations does this guy take??
- martin8412 1y agoIf he is on vacation, he can do less damage
- petermcneeley 1y agoWhen you think about what they do for a "job" can one really say if they are on vacation or not?
- dcrazy 1y agoI feel like you can say this about many politicians. A lot of the work of politics isn’t done in the Capitol building, it’s done on vacation with your favorite senator’s family. Plus the Vice Presidency is a ceremonial job.
- delichon 1y ago* family ski trip to Vermont in March * family trip to Disneyland in July * family kayak trip in Ohio last week (on his 41st birthday) * currently on a 10 day visit with family to the UK The total is about 18 days of vacation in 201 days in office. That's more vacation that I get. Is it high for politicians?
- gerhardi 1y agoSeems pretty normal amount from many western countries / EU perspective though. A quite standard 30 days paid time off could go like: - Christmas to New year off (~3-5 days PTO + public holidays paid) - Winter holiday in Feb/March (5 days PTO) - Maybe a week off around Easter or Ascension day (4 days PTO + public holiday paid) - 3 weeks off in the summer (15 days PTO) - A long weekend in the autumn (1 day PTO) or a week if you didn't take a week off in the spring -> 30 days PTO total
- p_j_w 1y agoConservatives famously advocate for similar policies here in the US.
- kcplate 1y agoProbably about the same amount that you do, it’s just you don’t have media following you around everywhere reporting your every step.
