He’s obviously making this statement in reference to Juneteenth, which this case I’d agree that it’s a bullshit holiday with bullshit significance. But he’s also alluding to the fact that he’s seeking to reform the amount of off-work holidays. A billionaire says the impact of hardworking Americans taking minimal days off is costing the markets billions. Meanwhile the U.S. federal deficit just exceeded $37T (!), a large portion of which is to do with his own bloated government spending on neocon wet dreams like Iron Dome and of course defense budgeting to protect our “greatest ally” from being nuked by a country that doesn’t even have nukes lol. If Trump’s labor dep moves the goal posts to uncharitable levels, it’s just another brick in the wall of shit policies from this admin.

      Just make it a floating holiday. The people it affects can have it off, for those that don’t care about it, they can save it for a day they need/want.
      Letting the government take away one holiday is a where workers start losing out and it won’t stop there. Give them an inch they’ll take your rights and every provision you thought was yours.

      This must be the reason why we don’t have one for the
      “moon landing”.

      Yes, people hate having a paid day off of work. I don’t care what the holiday is if I’m sleeping in.

      So libertarians were right, trump plans to increase national debt to 75 trillion in 6 years. Vision 2031.

      I have a bigger problem with “banker” holidays. The only people that get a paid holiday off on November 11th are bankers that fund wars and federal employees/politicians who start them.

      It always makes me laugh how little holidays you get in America. Over in Ireland we get some minimum of 20 days to take whenever plus 9 bank holidays each year. And they added another one the other year in February so it might be 10 now actually.
