“Americans don’t take vacations. Even when they have vacation days allotted; even when unused vacation days don’t roll over into the next year. In 2016, 54% of working Americans didn’t use their vacation days – cumulatively, that’s 662m days off, abandoned. Do you know how many vacations – in France, in Florida, at the lake with your family, camping with old friends – that is, lost forever? That is so many vacations.” I agree. Americans need to think differently about vacations and taking time off work

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5968747/Why-men-stopped-offering-pregnant-women-seat.html Why? I can answer that: look at the way men are berated in society: We hold a door and get told off that “I can do it myself”
We compliment how a woman looks and get told off as creepy or worse sexual harassment
We get up to offer someone who appears pregnant a seat only to find out they aren't really
We get up to offer a pregnant woman a seat only to be told off yet again Society can't have it both ways. Sure, wolf-whistling, cat calling, and genuine sexual harassment are all wrong and we should call them out, people being nice–like holding doors and offering seats–should be met equally politely.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5954999/Outrage-5M-taxpayers-cash-spent-security-Donald-Trumps-private-trip.html I have similar questions, but it isn't simply Trump: Why do Americans spend so much to protect POTUS? If I were president, I'd make the Secret Service make changes. Here's my starting list: Ditch the beast and get a decent looking car — The president isn't in a warzone after all.
Reopen Pennsylvania Ave — why is it closed?
Remind them that the President is simply a man. The position is what's important and the Constitution has what to do if that man dies The cost of protecting POTUS is outrageous in my view
