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

[-] drhodl@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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......

11 am? Hey he gets up daily at 4 am and "truths" on his website for a couple hours while on the toilet

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

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!

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

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

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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!

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

Truer words have not been spoken.

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 2 points 6 months ago

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?

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.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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

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

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).

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 6 months ago

Says the man that golf's more than work

[-] Buske@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] imTIREDnhungryboss@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

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

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,

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Hoffa and JFK got whacked for less than this.

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

"MAKE LINE GO UP FOR YOUR OWNERS"

[-] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

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..
