    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!

      Europeans don’t have 5 weeks of holidays. It of course depends on the country, region, and sometimes city, but usually is between 8 and 11 days of holidays (that everyone gets on the same day, like new years or the respective independence day) and between 4 and 6 weeks of PTO, which every person chooses when to take.

      Plus no sick days, if you are sick you stay at home, no quota. Optionally some paperwork if the sickness lasts a bunch of time.

        Fair enough, I don’t know the vacation days in all European countries, but many definitely do

    More context, he said this on June 19th, the day Juneteenth is celebrated across America.
    It’s a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in America.
    He obviously doesn’t want any holidays related to black people to be celebrated.

    Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.

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

    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…

    Orangeboi staying true to form and leaning into the idiotic, inaccurate, archaic, and racist “lazy people of color” trope, I see.

      my schools kinda faraway so we got an extra three days of holiday because of the transportation protests

      yay political instability?

      They work 6 days a week though. So subtract 52 days a year from that 35 and they are 11 days short of the US with 6. They are worse off.

    Don’t these holidays cost owners rather than workers, though?

    I used to love working holidays as a single guy for than double pay. 🤑

    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.

      Yeah, non working holidays only take away time for me to serve my corporate billionaire masters. 😤

    If Trump tries to take away a federal holiday, that might be what makes somebody finally do it.

    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 cant 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.

    • AlexLost@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      See, he thinks what’s happening IS great, so he’s winning his battle. It was never to make it great for us, it was only ever to make it great for him and his ilk. Always has been, always will be.

    If you want to prevent this from happening get involved in protests and contact your representatives. #nokings #50501
