Vacations are becoming antiques. As Steven Greenhouse writes in this Slate article,
fewer and fewer Americans are taking vacations because even if they stop, work never does.
I understand that being in a global economy means that people are constantly communicating with each other.

European countries haven’t fallen in on themselves, so perhaps America needs to swallow one big chill pill.
