Just take the holidays between the jobs. That might work for the kind of jobs HN posters work at, but the people who are most likely to have little or no vacation are probably also the ones that can't actually afford to be without a job even for a week (if they can find a new one). Like so many other policies in the US, it works pretty well for the well-off, but keeps the working class toiling.
