Biggest problem with non-working “holidays” is that they only apply to certain more privileged people who also get paid to not work. Everyone else either sits at home unpaid for the day, or has to work (most often without any additional compensation) to support those who do get the paid day off.

It’s not actually a privilege to have paid time off and paid holidays, it’s the norm across the developed world. United States is just creepy
