Really now. Let's compare that to France, shall we?
And while we're at it, let's compare living conditions and quality of life, and market profitability as well.

He says from the golf course.
Oddly enough I worked juneteenth. He's just bitching to hear himself bitch now
I did as well. Most Americans work most holidays unless you are a government employee or a finance bro.
This man hasn't truly worked for a day in his life.
Bit rich coming from one of the laziest men on the planet.
He's pissed that he has to pay extra his golf caddies if he plays during holidays
Ending slavery should be one of the more important ones. It's one of the biggest milestones in our nation.
Need a couple asterisks on "ending slavery"
Putting some limitations on slavery.
Like those weekdays where he goes golfing?
Of course Donald Trump hates Juneteenth.
In 2021, Joe Biden signed the bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday:
US President Joe Biden signed The Juneteenth National Independence Day Act in the White House on Thursday 17 June to formally recognise Juneteenth as a national holiday.
Mr Biden said: "Great nations don't ignore their most painful moments. We come to terms with the mistakes we made. And remembering those moments, we begin to heal and grow stronger."
Anyone else remember when Trump suggested in 2020 that Juneteenth should be a national holiday?
If Republicans are the party of Lincoln, and they freed the slaves, then shouldn't they be proud of how "woke" they are?
No? Maybe it's because the Republicans of today are running off of a totally different ideology and they only like to say positive things about minorities when it is in their best interests.
Christmas should be the first removed. It’s a day for worshipping a spiritual being many don’t believe in.
Gimme back muh solstice! I'll worship the dark with whiskey and chocolate and maybe some beef.
Wtf does Christmas have to do with religion?
According to some scholars, the emperor Aurelian instituted in AD 274 the festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti ('birthday of the Invincible Sun') on 25 December,[53] the date of the winter solstice in the Roman calendar.[54]
Funny how Constantine moved the Sabbath to Sunday at the same time he founded the Roman Catholic Church, and a lot of what Jesus taught seems to have been totally reinterpreted very conveniently
Nothing at my house lol, just another excuse to eat and drink.
As a rule, a man who has never worked a day in his life- should have no authority over those who do.
“Now I’m off to my golf course for a week to relax”
If you have a job where you have to work with coworkers, vendors, or suppliers that are outside of the US, you quickly learn that Americans work hard as hell, and usually don’t get a much downtime as other countries.
Americans get exploited much, it's why they have the most mega corporations that are rich at expense of all the workers in it. Except the higher up execs.
...has this man ever worked?...
Fuck off. Asshole.
There really aren't that many. Even once a month is not that much, and we don't even get that.
Why doesn’t he just come out and say that he would prefer it if Black people were still enslaved?
While taking the day off to play golf, he tells us we don’t deserve a day off if it honors anyone non-white.
He does not work so he would not know.
Almost nobody outside of government jobs and banks actually gets holidays like this off. (So you know, mostly white collar white people) What a fucking joke.
It mostly just fucks with working people's pay schedules, direct deposits, and when they can cash their check.
Government includes DoD; theres a lot of non-white-collar work under that umbrella.
Its still almost nobody that actually gets federal holidays off.
