maybe there are too many non-working presidents right now?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nah F that, most Americans barley get any paid time off if any. If anything we need MORE.
Yeah, it’s hilarious to hear “workers want less” when what they really mean is less forced unpaid time off, obviously if they want money they’d want to work. I’m sure those people would prefer paid time off to having to work.
Translation: we shouldn’t give black people in america a federal holiday because i am a racist and demented old man who is increasingly irrelevant in society.

Trump: And I will make sure I go out with a bang and take everybody with me!
Technically, there is no law requiring a company to provide PTO or close on Holidays. Its up to the company, not this stupid bastard.
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.
This guy LITERALLY raped a 13 year old back in the day, and only golfs.
Didn’t he just create like two new holidays?
And here we see this buffoon once again viciously attacking his political enemies…(Flips papers)…
…“Anyone with half a brain who works for a living.”
And here I thought I would get away without seeing trump bitch about juneteenth…
“The workers don’t want it”. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.
Like everything he says/does there is a slight truth buried deep in there.
Some ‘workers’ really don’t want it. They are called corporate middle management. They don’t want the wage slaves to disrupt profit or crowd the spaces that they will be using because management will still take the day off.
In all fairness, Trump is just a moldy, hollowed-out Golem. Every Juneteenth, Stephen Miller shmooshes his shiny dome straight into Trump’s rear end and starts flicking and vibrating his tongue across Donnie’s prostate like it’s a musical instrument carved from rotting cheese, inducing a flurry of nerve impulses that spread through Trump’s spine and into his abnormally short, sticky sausage fingers, where they smear out the latest batch of vile racist garbage.
This is the worst thing to read first thing in the morning 🤮
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!
Before resting, I go to work tired tomorrow. After resting, I go to work angry tomorrow.
Without tasting freedom for a day or two I would not be angry about losing it.
Defund weekends, they are some DEI bullshit!
/sarcasm
I know right? ALL I want is to make money and not for me but for some idiot who has control of the market and that means that if my labor is worth $200 an hours all I want is to work work work and especially for a fraction of that.
The workers don’t want it. What workers actually want is an end to holidays, weekends, and time off in general. I mean, what good is being a “worker” if you’re not working every waking minute of your life? /s
I know several, they’re type that base their whole identity around their job, and the type to die very quickly after retirement. They also vote conservative.
bring back the 168 hour workweek
I do hate holidays as a working stiff:
They exist only as a foil to working days- once working days are eliminated, so too will holidays be.
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).
Meanwhile the US have the fewest paid leave days of any country on the planet (source).
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?
The worst part is… If you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you’ll notice just how unproductive they are.
Obviously the two are closely connected, but it’s always fascinating to me
Yeah there’s that myth that if you make people work more hours more work will be done. It all makes sense on the spreadsheet!
Reality is the workers are human, humans get tired and you aren’t getting more work out of anyone by making them work more hours. You’re just making someone be at a place longer because you can.
Its basic math. A woman needs 9 months for a pregnancy, surely two women would only need 4.5 months.
The spreadsheet confirms what you just said. Adding it to the corporate policy manual now.
Also note that a pregnant woman has two brains, so they can work twice as fast!
So true. True efficiency can only be achieved when human labour is finite. Look at the small countries of norther europe. /my first comment on lemmee :D
Welcome to Lemmy!!! Idk if you saw this, but Lemm.ee is about to shut down. I would switch to Lemmy.zip.
The problem is that in Germany, our Chancellor is currently on the same trip saying that ‘the people don’t work enough’ even though most people (who have a full time job) already work about 40 hours and many woman would like to work more but can’t because there are not enough daycare centres and retirement homes.
My wife worked for Siemens-Gamesa for a long time, and German managers were always surprised how the Danes would just straight up decline meetings after 16 and leave early if they had to pick up kids.
They didn’t worry about that at all, of course, because their wives generally didn’t work full time.
That’s what they get when you don’t fight for your rights.
Look at it now, semi-fascist for half a year and they’re still basically singing Kumbaya.
They get what they deserve.
And he seriously said this, what the actual fuck. It seemed so absurd that i had to look up, and yeah its there…
