Welcome to the official start of summer! Where to start?
How about we start with vacation! Turns out more of us are planning our vacations while we are at work, which is kinda funny, considering fewer of us have a) jobs, and b) money for vacation. A survey by staffing firm Randstad found that more than half the 2,065 adults surveyed admitted to making reservations and doing other vacation research while on the job. The younger you are, the more likely you've done this.
- Randstad says 61 percent of Gen Y'ers planned vacation during work (18-to-30-year-olds).
- 58 percent of Gen X'ers do it (30-to-45-year-olds).
- 45 percent of Baby Boomers do it.
- Women are much more likely than men to plan a trip on the job.
So, where to go for this year's getaway? Some are suggesting...SOMALIA! This YouTube video claims (tongue-in-cheek) that Somalia is the perfect Libertarian getaway.
The video bases its premise on a completely serious article which claims, with a straight face, "Somalia has done very well for itself in the 15 years since its government was eliminated." But beyond watching the video, read the litany of angry comments from Ron Paul fans and other Libertarians who rip it apart.
