Too many non-working holidays in America

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.

Is that in project 2025 ? I dont remember but they are on track for sure.

The mans an idiot

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

Get off the golf course yourself then you orange turd

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

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......

Nah F that, most Americans barley get any paid time off if any. If anything we need MORE.

maybe there are too many non-working presidents right now?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

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,

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.

This guy LITERALLY raped a 13 year old back in the day, and only golfs.

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

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.

“The workers don’t want it”. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.

Quel con !

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).

Meanwhile the US have the fewest paid leave days of any country on the planet (source).

And here we see this buffoon once again viciously attacking his political enemies...(Flips papers)...

..."Anyone with half a brain who works for a living."

Didn't he just create like two new holidays?

And here I thought I would get away without seeing trump bitch about juneteenth..

What the hell is a non working holiday? Last I checked everyone with a real job works every holiday.

Kind of telling to be complaining about this on a day which celebrates the end of slavery.

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

$BILLIONS

I mentally read this in the same voice I read $VARIABLE with.

And he seriously said this, what the actual fuck. It seemed so absurd that i had to look up, and yeah its there...

I do hate holidays as a working stiff:

They exist only as a foil to working days- once working days are eliminated, so too will holidays be.

Go play golf and change your diaper grandpa, you’re getting crabby.

"the workers don't want it"

The fuck we don't

And then he went golfing. True story.

We have the least mandated PTO in the developed world and a good portion of the underdeveloped world.

Our federal holidays aren't even days off for most people. Lol

My opinion of him can't be lower but man I keep realizing how fucking stupid his supporters are with every one of his asinine comments.

King Cuck says no more holidays while golfing his presidency away.

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.

It would be fun to make Trump work a job for 90 days. Nothing major. Maybe answering phones for a help line.

9 to 5 desk job.

Monday through Friday.

If he misses a day he has to "find a new job" and start over.

The dude would fucking CRACK like he was being waterboarded!

He's right. This year, everybody's gotta work Christmas.

What a fucking moron along with all his voters

And the fact he posted this on Juneteenth is just coincidence, right?

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 doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.

I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I'd be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.

life is not created for an economy

Said the guy who spends 1/3 of his time golfing

Doesn't tourism help the economy? You gotta give people time off to be the consumers you want them to be.

I know nurses and other government employees who wouldn't want less mandatory holidays off, you're either off or get holiday pay to work on a Monday!

Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss's house was?

All righty then Ebeneezer...

What a piece of shit post. He's using the date to signal solidarity to his racist voters.

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?

Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.

Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year

Damn! Not that the whole bleat isn't awful, but that's one of the stupidest sentences ever in ALL of the ways! 🤦

OK, start with Christmas Day. I'll wait.

You know those tropes in old cartoons where overworked factory workers are given a union-mandated 3-minute lunch break? That's the future of America.

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.

Too many non-working presidents and billionaires in your country.

I didn't even get to take off yesterday. Fuck this guy.

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

Hoffa and JFK got whacked for less than this.

"MAKE LINE GO UP FOR YOUR OWNERS"

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.

Sounds like the WH chef staff ran out of chicken nuggies

someone do the fuckin deed already, I'm so fuckin sick of this jackass and all his Republican dumbfucks

Golf.

keep up the talk fat man and we'll have a paid holiday for every finger and toe we cut off.

fuck him

Don’t worry, Don, the “essential workers” won’t be affected.

Okay, grandpa. Time for bed.

American workers is this true?

This is the first trump post where I saw the members of r/conservative unanimously against the president.

Too bad they'll still support him anyway..

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.

You guys are getting days off?

How the fuck does it cost money to keep businesses closed.
