He says on the holiday dedicated to the freeing of the slaves. It’s no coincidence this the one he complains about.
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.
Yeah I called Juneteenth getting axed over a month ago and one of my co-workers chimed in that Juneteenth was a Trump holiday. It isn’t, it was signed into law by Biden his first year in office. Trump lied about it while campaigning.
Yeah I’ll be shocked if it still exists next year. He’ll call it “woke DEI” and his bitches in congress will scramble to be on the wrong side of history yet again.
Didn’t he just create like two new holidays?
life is not created for an economy
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
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.”
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.
Yeah, non working holidays only take away time for me to serve my corporate billionaire masters. 😤
This guy LITERALLY raped a 13 year old back in the day, and only golfs.
What the hell is a non working holiday? Last I checked everyone with a real job works every holiday.
What are these “real jobs” you speak of? At the absolutely very least, teachers typically also have off for many federal holidays, are you saying that isn’t a “real job”?
If abusing kids was a job the unemployment rate would be damn near 0.
Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss’s house was?
And worked a lot less than 40 hours a week
well, worked less than 40hrs a week for an employer. They had a ton of shit to do at home, and if they weren’t married, doubly so.
My grandma used to tell me stories of how long it would take to forage for food before refridgerators
They also had more days off back then, more time to sharpen that axe.
More holidays, but when you’re a subsistence farmer, those aren’t really days off, just days you don’t have to work for the rent.
A lot less workers too to be fair (the plague more than did its work…), so it was a workers market
Yeah Americans have way too many holidays, like two hole weeks per year!
I mean, compare that to the Europeans with their lousy 5 weeks per year, they never take off!
Europeans don’t have 5 weeks of holidays. It of course depends on the country, region, and sometimes city, but usually is between 8 and 11 days of holidays (that everyone gets on the same day, like new years or the respective independence day) and between 4 and 6 weeks of PTO, which every person chooses when to take.
Plus no sick days, if you are sick you stay at home, no quota. Optionally some paperwork if the sickness lasts a bunch of time.
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!
“The workers don’t want it”. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.
The workers don’t want it. What workers actually want is an end to holidays, weekends, and time off in general. I mean, what good is being a “worker” if you’re not working every waking minute of your life? /s
bring back the 168 hour workweek
I know several, they’re type that base their whole identity around their job, and the type to die very quickly after retirement. They also vote conservative.
Workers. Hate. Paid. Holidays.
We’ve been saying it for years, but nobody listens. The liberal nanny state keeps forcing me to stay home, spend time with my family, or even go on vacation, when all I really want to do is stare at spreadsheets for another eight hours.
Enough is enough!
I know right? ALL I want is to make money and not for me but for some idiot who has control of the market and that means that if my labor is worth $200 an hours all I want is to work work work and especially for a fraction of that.
Before resting, I go to work tired tomorrow. After resting, I go to work angry tomorrow.
Without tasting freedom for a day or two I would not be angry about losing it.
Defund weekends, they are some DEI bullshit!

In all fairness, Trump is just a moldy, hollowed-out Golem. Every Juneteenth, Stephen Miller shmooshes his shiny dome straight into Trump’s rear end and starts flicking and vibrating his tongue across Donnie’s prostate like it’s a musical instrument carved from rotting cheese, inducing a flurry of nerve impulses that spread through Trump’s spine and into his abnormally short, sticky sausage fingers, where they smear out the latest batch of vile racist garbage.
This is the worst thing to read first thing in the morning 🤮
Like everything he says/does there is a slight truth buried deep in there.
Some ‘workers’ really don’t want it. They are called corporate middle management. They don’t want the wage slaves to disrupt profit or crowd the spaces that they will be using because management will still take the day off.
I don’t think you are seeing the issue clearly. If you don’t want a day off it’s because your wages are not high enough.
You are wrong. There is zero truth in this post.
Nah, the people who don’t want it are hourly workers who are living paycheck to paycheck, which is tens of millions of workers.
The sad truth is he’s right, but the reason is that for these people, missing out on $80 could be the difference between paying the water bill or not this month.
It’s not that people love to work so much that they hate missing a day, it’s that they can’t afford to not work a day.
There’s a big difference between “want” and “have to”… No-one "wants’ to work more, but many people “have to”.
Yes people don’t want to work more, they need more money. This does not translate to they want less time off…
It’s a completely backwards way of seeing the problem.
And it is completely invalid.
I didn’t even get to take off yesterday. Fuck this guy.
