    Thinly veiled attempt to get rid of juneteenth. So just the usual rightwing racism.

    Happens in Germany too right now. People really need to find back to Unions and take more Power over their rights, before they just Cut it off

      Happening all over the globe. The capitalist hegemony is getting scared because their system is collapsing in on itself and, through the imperial boomerang, are beginning to employ practices only performed abroad on the interior in order to maintain their power. The US is just far ahead of the curve due to its lack of a functioning political leftwing keeping things in check.

      Now is most certainly the time for people to unionize and start relearning why unions formed in the first place: so workers can band together to exert their political will and take ownership over their workplace from a parasitic class that has only ever existed to exploit our labor.

    Says the obese pig to whom EVERY day is a holiday and a reason to golf. I never knew that POTUS was a part time position. America is fucked if there’s ever a crisis before 11:00am, on a week end, or on a golfing day…

      They mostly don’t get any of those “holidays” paid anyway which is why they don’t like them. You’re lucky if you get Christmas and Thanksgiving paid on top of your two weeks of PTO. The rest are days the banks close and some other places give their people unpaid days off.

      Yeah, it’s hilarious to hear “workers want less” when what they really mean is less forced unpaid time off, obviously if they want money they’d want to work. I’m sure those people would prefer paid time off to having to work.

    I’ve been meaning to ask how donald trump intends to “make america great again” when it stopped being “great” shortly after he became president.

    You can’t make it worse on purpose and then make it better again and say “see! I made it great again”

    But i suppose he did do that with the price of eggs. So maybe thats the plan.

    Oh well! Like his cognitive function, the plan is failing,

      See, he thinks what’s happening IS great, so he’s winning his battle. It was never to make it great for us, it was only ever to make it great for him and his ilk. Always has been, always will be.

    Translation: we shouldn’t give black people in america a federal holiday because i am a racist and demented old man who is increasingly irrelevant in society.

    Don’t these holidays cost owners rather than workers, though?

    I used to love working holidays as a single guy for that double pay. 🤑

    No holidays means only 1x pay 👎 nevermind if you just wanted to take the day off without getting docked.

    Technically, there is no law requiring a company to provide PTO or close on Holidays. Its up to the company, not this stupid bastard.

      The government is however required to give most employees several days off throughout the year which might be what he’s bitching about

    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
