    young folks today not having enough money to even start a family

    Some of the poorest people are forming the largest families, thanks to the segregated access to contraception tools and abortion services.

    The use of “holiday” rather than “medical debt” and “student debt” leads me to think it’s not about America at all.

    It is an American idea that’s been spread abroad by American media and commercial business.

    Because of wealth hoarding, but by billionaires

    30% of billionaires is American. Another 7% are in the US occupied state of Germany, with Italy, Canada, Taiwan, the UK, and France hosting 3% / 3% / 2% / 2% / 1.5% respectively.

    The American Empire is the source of the Billionaire scourge.

      Pretty sure the billionaire scourge is worldwide and the list of worst dragons excludes royalty (looking at you, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, etc) which tilts the numbers toward the US.

      But as for the OP, people in the US don’t use “holiday.” We have a couple weeks of "vacation " annually if we’re lucky. So the source is from elsewhere.
