| Why is the fed govt open July 5? |

Because July 4 is a holiday.
July 5 is not a holiday. |

And the 6th is a Saturday. What planet does it make sense to secure and open the offices for one day? |

By this logic the day after Thanksgiving should be a federal holiday.
And every other day when a federal holiday falls on a Tue or Thur. |

Because the federal government only gives federal holidays off. (Unless you work for DHS.)
I won't be there though. Using a vacation day. |

Sometimes my agency announces an additional day off late in the game when the 4th falls in a Thursday. 30-year Fed here. With a presidential election coming up we have a greater chance. We got a 10% COL raising last month (never happens!). Try to win votes. |

I have fingers crossed they will announce tomorrow or Tuesday. |

| We generally get a few hours off the day before (July 3rd). Not an entire day. |

Majority of private companies do shut down. I can’t imagine the federal government will be any less efficient if they close a few extra days. |

| All the feds I know have an insane amount of vacation time. Why not just use a day? |
