Actually that in itself would cripple economies, despite being a really good idea (sitting still for a while I mean).

The whole world is operating under an economic paradigm that requires infinite growth forever; the model is decoupled from reality. If we all sat still for a couple weeks, everyone would be better off, but the economy would tank. Better get back to work!
