what follows might be bullshit ;)
vacations are their allotted part of freedom for which they have enough money if they follow the boomer dream.
many people now have the suspicion that this dream they've been sold is a lie. it's probably only getting worse from now on, except you are one of the 0.1% which can act like 120 days of sodom ad infinitum.
normal people are getting _really_ pissed if the last chance of a part of their dream is taken away. instead of changing the dream they follow.
