Strawman argument. See: countries that already have said 30+days of paid vacation -- without "massive unemployment" (read: France, Germany).

I'd say the GP has done this and explained it well... but you have avoided its main proposals.

Of which, you are definitely not one (read: an expert).

That’s not how it works, don’t know about France but for sure not in Germany.

In Germany, an employee gets a minimum of 20 days paid vacation AND there are 11 days (most of the country, varies by Bundesland) national public holidays. That accounts to a minimum of 31 days off but it is not 31 days of paid vacation.
