    “The higher you climb the social ladder, the more likely that you will be able to get away on holiday,” the study authors wrote.

    You mean the more money you make… which is pretty straight forward

    In Australia labourers make a metric shitload and a yearly holiday is never missed, maybe even 2 holidays a year if the government needs another stadium built

      Personally I find that linking “making money” with “climbing the social ladder” is at the core of many of our issues.

      Going even further, ranking each other based on factors like wealth, education, occupation, influence, etc. is degrading and leads to inequality, corruption and emotional/mental health problems, to name a few. The idea that success is measured almost exclusively by economic gain and social rank distorts human values.
