[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What’s “random” about Labor Day? Scores of other countries also celebrate Labor Day.[/quote] But mostly on May 1.[/quote] Correct. The date is random. Here’s what I think would work best. Federal employees you get 11 floating holidays per year. Use them whenever and for whatever reason you like. Religious reasons, historical reasons, national pride reasons, personal belief reasons, whatever. Then, it’s still fine for fed. and SLTT governments to recognize special dates with pomp and circumstance, but no more set holiday dates. Even Christmas, New Years and Independence Day should no longer be sacrosanct. Meanwhile, I am happy we decided to recognize this historical date [b]even though the name is kinda silly[/b]. Should simply have called it Freedom Day. [/quote] I can't get over anonymous randos posting on DCUM that the people celebrating Juneteenth for 156 years have been doing it rong.[/quote]
