Call me what you want; but I cannot stand all these G-D holidays. I love what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for. Do we really need all these holidays?
Veteran's Day and Memorial Day are the same topic and we have two seperate days off. I mean is it that important to throw a BBQ that we have to have a Federal Holiday and get paid to not show up for work?
Columbus Day, Labor Day, and Presidents Day are not worthy of a day off. I mean truly? Don't get me wrong, I love getting a paid day off and hang with family. But how many people truly understand Memorial Day? I've asked, and I don't get the right answer - it's more of a confused run-around.
The people that work for us don't need all those days off. They don't need an extended Easter Break or Christmas Break or Thanksgiving week off. I'd like to see them work for a living like the rest of us.
I'll banter about their pay later; but what are your thoughts on these holidays?
