The app idea runs counter to the concept if "skin in the game." What would actually work is an organized paramilitary counterpart to Antifa, with actual ranks and unforms and hierarchical privilege, responsibility, and accountability. However the SA are still such a potent memetic vaccination it probably couldn't happen until some time after the last Boomers are gone.

This is the U.S. I work for a company that provides B2B IT services. I get 5 weeks of undifferentiated PTO per year and can roll over 1 week. Most of my work can be done from home, meaning I very infrequently need to take sick days, so this works out well for me IMO. The company has also been pretty lenient with letting people borrow from future PTO in the case of genuine medical necessity to avoid having to use FMLA leave.

There's no health and safety issue with children not being present in a facility.

Assuming a judge doesn't simply throw out their convictions. It does however seem to be a stake through the heart of the "fraud is so miniscule it's not worth enforcing" argument that's been made about all kinds of welfare programs.

I agree 100% about "unlimited" vacation, but the single pool doesn't bother me as much as an alternative to being either paid out for unused sick days or having to malinger to get use out of them.

I found the Rachmaninoff all-vocal All Night Vigil work to be good example of this. It may not have as many moments of raw frisson as a rousing symphonic or operatic work, but it deeply touched something spiritual inside me. I particularly enjoyed the technical excellence of the Robert Shaw recording.

Many employers have just a single pool of PTO, so days you take off for being sick come at the expense of days you could have taken off for fun.

I have this, it's a total game changer.
Otherwise, I'd say plant your cruise at something just slower than most of the traffic, park in the right lane, and let others do most of the work.
If you're not looking a fool at least some of the time, you're not doing anything of consequence.
