    The people who can get holidays off are generally the people who have the means to vote otherwise.

    Until the last few years, the only time I had holidays off were if I could get someone to switch with me, meaning at least someone was working that day.

    Labor day didn’t mean shit to me working at fast food, and retail has sales instead of closing.

    Walmart ain’t closed on labor day and neither is McDonald’s.

    That’s the first and second largest employers in the world, not respecting the holiday literally made for their employees.
