It’d probably a hijack but I agree. A random Tuesday holiday will be buried in everything outside of government, banks and the financial markets.
Election Day could be on a Monday.
That won’t increase voter turnout either. The people taking a trip for the 3 days weekend won’t think to get absentee ballots.
Still wouldn’t make a difference for the millions of Americans who have to show up for work whether it’s a holiday or not.
As a Federal Employee I always felt we needed something between President’s Day (late Feb) and Memorial Day (late May). I think Patriot’s Day (April) is a good fit and celebrates the first battles of the Revolutionary War.
Interesting that in the financial markets, we observe Good Friday as a holiday which does give us something between President’s Day and Memorial Day
I hope the next one is Groundhog Day. That way if I get stuck in a time loop it will be on a holiday.
Welp you can strike out Indigenous Peoples’ Day for the rest of our lives at least.
Look to 14 June as Trump Day. But it won’t be a paid holiday.
Here in Western PA county government we get that day as a paid holiday (Flag Day).
I think that was John Henton
The comic from Cleveland’s take on rock stars, rap music, Arizona’s refusal to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday (“you got to be prejudiced as hell not to take a day off from work”) and the dumb things he encounters on the road all helped him win the 1991 Johnny Walker National Comedy Search.
I vaguely remember that standup special, and him saying if the government made KKK day a national holiday he’d be in his backyard smoking weed and taking the day off work.
It’s the Army’s birthday.
