The answer, I think, is for each individual to take more individual responsibility, save their money, work in contracted increments, and go on vacation between contracts.
That's been my approach for the last few years, except I do it as a full-time employee. Your employer gives you 2 weeks paid vacation, but you can also take additional time as unpaid vacation. I have averaged 6 weeks of vacation per year for the last 5 years by taking a month unpaid each year.
