If there is one thing the workers can't stand, it is occasionally getting paid to go fishing or crack open a cold one and grill outdoors.

In my country the government recently abolished a holiday in order to get more money to fund more military so they could fight Russia.

It was a huge success. Workers have been extatic about getting to work a day more instead of relaxing. The popularity of the government has skyrocketed ever since.
