You don’t have paid leave?
Comment on [US] How are so many people able to protest? (Logistically)

In the US, you usually only get paid time off if you’re in a full-time, salaried position. Even then, most people only get two or three weeks, and it accrues over time, so you have to save it up for winter holidays, etc

Unpaid time off sucks, I’ve been there too. The American economic system feels designed as if everyone has a full time job with benefits.
