Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.
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......
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.
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.
As a Dane, I have always been fucking shocked at the slave-like working conditions Americans work under. They barely get any time off as it is. What do you mean too many holidays?
Ah yes. The obligatory racist whinging on Juneteenth. Fat lazy bastard who doesn't get to work before 11 am because he requires "executive time" (tv time).
The fucker is actively cratering the once biggest economy in the world
and his constituents cheer.
I hope every one of you 'genocide joe' objecters who stayed home feel crushing guilt as you watch the country collapse due to your misplaced ideologies
I hate paid time off. It’s one of the greatest crimes of modern life. I think I’ll campaign to have my union dismantled and my pay cut in half because the current model is clearly ripping off my employer.
Keep in mind that the guy complaining about PTO hasn’t worked a day in his life.
One of the country with the least amount of paid vacation in the world. And that's the hill he decides to climb on. He excels at making himself look increasingly moronic.
America produces way more than enough to allow everyone to live comfortably and enjoy life. But the fruits of all that extra productivity is being hoarded by a tiny portion of the population while workers are being increasingly stretched and strained to extract as much value from then as possible while paying them as least as possible.
The scarcity of wealth and the need to always work harder and longer hours to barely make it is an illusion maintained to exploit the workers.
I think any European politician who said anything remotely close to this would see their careers instantly over. How is it possible that saying something like this doesn't cost them votes in the US?
300 million people can't have a single fucking day off every once in a while because it will "cost billions", while less than 10 people are hoarding over a TRILLION in wealth.
Working with people in other countries it really make me jealous they have a notional holiday, seeming every month where the business is closed. Really wish the US had more days like that
Remind me how "all these businesses" can be closed if it's really only the federal government actually takes the day off for federal holidays? Like sure some banks do as well, but most companies just stay open
Here in the real US (I.E not has make up fantasy land that he wants his user base to believe in), most companies were business as usual. As most companies only really close for Christmas and maybe Thanksgiving and Easter.
Not to mention that most Federal workers are salary, and their pay includes holidays, if he were to remove the holidays as part of the package, he would need to spend /more/ money on the workers, so it's not like it would be a plus even in his imaginary world. This is ignoring the fact that a good portion of the federal government is also unionized. so this entire plan would fall short before it even hit the water.
Orangeboi staying true to form and leaning into the idiotic, inaccurate, archaic, and racist “lazy people of color” trope, I see. And on Juneteenth, too. I’m sure that’s part of the subtext he was going for.
