Why are some zoomers unable to find a place they like for years?

Earlier, on September 16, State Duma deputy Nikolai Novichok proposed increasing paid leave from 28 to 35 days. As the politician pointed out, the bill to increase the vacation to 35 days is necessary due to the fact that the stress intensity of the workflow has radically increased. According to Novichkov, not only Russians of pre-retirement age, but also young workers, as well as middle-aged people, need to increase rest days.
