Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days

Good news: take up subsistence farming, no healthcare, no electricity, and make everything yourself, and you too can have half the year "off".

So you think in order for people to not work their lives away we would have to take up subsistence farming? With all the tech and machines we have the only viable way to not be a company man is to give away all of the luxuries we currently have?

How's that Kool aid tasting?

That's not remotely close to what I think the world SHOULD BE like.

It is, unfortunately, what I think the world IS like.

I'm also pointing out that if you want that aspect of the middle ages, you can have it right now by also taking all the crappy aspects of the middle ages..
