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.

the us has like 6 holidays, chill out donald
Probably a quiet way to attack all the federal holidays directly affecting federal employees.
Oh yeah... and the racism of it being Junteenth.
Interesting he's mad on Juneteenth wonder why that could be
Surely just a coincidence 
Cancelling holidays is incredibly risky behavior. This has played parts in past revolutions.
No Bread,
No Circuses.
Trump train going to derail harder than East Palestine, Ohio
When our SocDem-junta decided to cancel a 400 year old holiday, our incredibly cucked unions are began talking like Rosa Luxemberg for like 3 days. It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen, even if they ultimately backed down because the SocDems promised to let them be more racist against poles and romanians.
Cromwell trying to cancel Christmas was basically his worst move
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.
Please tell me This is sarcasm
It is. People absolutely hated it.
Didn't you also get a rise to 70 years old in retirement age?
Yes we did. People were dancing in the streets and celebrating when they got the news that they would get to spend more of their old age at work and less of it with their grandchildren.
Europe deserves to burn ngl
Don't worry, our leaders are working tirelessly to make it happen
Everyone here (or maybe it was Hasan, I can't remember) always says not to think of the republican working class as just a bunch of braindead morons, just people who are misguided; Well this is the ultimate test on whether they really are stupid or not.
No the western working class is braindead morons
I mean alot of them are petty bourgeois small business owner tyrants and might even work during holidays so they probably want everyone at their level

reminds me of when he was talking in front of coal miners recently and said something like "look at these guys, all they do is mine coal, they love it, if we stop mining coal what will they do with themselves"
he wasn't that wrong. a bunch of those fuckers reject any offer of retraining and definitely didn't want to learn to code. fucking americans make their jobs their identity and if you say coal is bad that makes them bad.
reject any offer of retraining and definitely didn't want to learn to code..
History kinda proved them right though.
Retraining to what jobs? Where?
reject any offer of retraining and definitely didn’t want to learn to code.
Because the idea of having 30-40 year old blue-collar men from Appalachia being asked to suddenly learn how to deeply and intimately use a computer while learning an entirely new language form is about the same as expecting them to learn Chinese and be foreign exchange traders. Retraining would make sense in other similar fields. Other forms of mining/extraction or another blue-collar trade.
On top of that, what would be the point in training them in code? So they can have their skill-set entirely useless in 2-3 years when AI starts doing the jobs for them?
this was like 10+ years ago, they could've even learned react and made good money and half of 'em retired before the post-covid bubble burst.
there were better options than teaching boomers to use computers they could've tried but the job-as-identity freaks wouldn't go for it regardless
He’s saying this on Juneteenth because IDK he couldn’t pick up a book of stamps or something. When it’s Fourth of July he’ll be all like “the hard working Americans earned this holiday.” It’s not so much the racism as it is “What do you mean I can’t buy stamps on a Wednesday, this is America!”
I lived in rural Tennessee when I was a child in the 90s. On MLK day the bank, THE BANK, changed their sign to read, "WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER N_R HOLIDAY". They spelled it out fully. Not a digital sign. They did the lettering one by one.
This tweet has the same vibe.
Oh, and if anyone wants to know it was Waynesboro. Fuck that town.
Virginia changed it to Lee/Jackson/King Day, to honor Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson
My wife gets "confederate heroes day" off in Texas every January 19.
Oh…I didn’t even think of the racist angle, I thought it was a vile attack on the working class
definitely both

For people who love to talk about how Republicans ended slavery, Republicans sure seem to hate Juneteenth...
Pretty sure just in March/April alone in Denmark we have Skærtorsdag (Thursday before Easter), Langfredag (Good Friday), then Anden påskedag (Monday after Easter), Kristi himmelfartsdag (Ascension day), birthday of Queen Margaret (April 16th), and International Workers Day (May 1st) as paid holidays
Funs fact, in the anglosphere Labour Day is on all different days (often celebrating something like the 8 hour day) because our governments were so shit scared of Communism they wouldn't dare make it May 1

I just hate that people buy the narrative that we need to penny pinch to the point where you cant take a day off otherwise the American economy is going to explode. Pretty sure if 100% of the bullshit jobs went away and people got paid the same as if they had them, our economy wouldnt be any different

Apparently the children really are yearning for the mines
Even the adults cannot resist its siren song for even a day, it turns out
I will lose it if this clown takes my holidays
leader of only country with 0 federally mandated holidays: we have too many holidays
trump is gonna make us tip our boss for the privilege of “providing us with a job” bro 😭 that’s why he said no taxes on tips
I read When Serfs Stood Up In Tbet recently, and found it to be a dark omen. Reading the descriptions of the omnipresent environment of predation and the myriad ways people were exploited, has me wondering when they'll bust out the subscription fees for every flower pot.
This is actually one of Trump’s worst takes, and that says a lot
we should have more paid days off regardless but if they really want i'm sure we'd all take as many extra days of double-pay as they want to add.
Most of us don't even get paid for them.
My current sales job is the only one I have ever had that gives holiday pay.

Actually, I support a 4 day work week with 25 days annual leave.
I’m having a hard time getting a permanent job. Y’all need to save some work for the rest of us
