In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.
Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.
While I don’t know for most of Europe, almost everywhere I’ve been in Northern Europe has had a decent chunk of home have Inverter Heat Pumps installed. Don’t really ever see buildings retrofit a central AC system when separate heat pumps per unit do the job.
I traveled through Europe this summer during the heatwave. The hostels were fucking saunas lol. As a traveler I was not staying at people’s houses where they might have a decent ac system
I’ve never been to a hostel, but I can see that type of cheap accommodation not having any sort of cooling yeah. Especially since it honestly hasn’t been much of a need for the one week above 25c a year… Too bad that’s now more like 3 months
