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..

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

How the fuck does it cost money to keep businesses closed.
Orangeboi staying true to form and leaning into the idiotic, inaccurate, archaic, and racist βlazy people of colorβ trope, I see. And on Juneteenth, too. Iβm sure thatβs part of the subtext he was going for.
You guys are getting days off?
I think any European politician who said anything remotely close to this would see their careers instantly over. How is it possible that saying something like this doesn't cost them votes in the US?
He said this specifically on Juneteenth so that his hateful voters agree, and those that work for businesses that donβt give a day off on Juneteenth get angry at the people who work for companies or the government that do.
His voters love the taste of the boot and the democrats are so shitty that most people just donβt bother to vote

Remind me how "all these businesses" can be closed if it's really only the federal government actually takes the day off for federal holidays? Like sure some banks do as well, but most companies just stay open
Here in the real US (I.E not has make up fantasy land that he wants his user base to believe in), most companies were business as usual. As most companies only really close for Christmas and maybe Thanksgiving and Easter.
Not to mention that most Federal workers are salary, and their pay includes holidays, if he were to remove the holidays as part of the package, he would need to spend /more/ money on the workers, so it's not like it would be a plus even in his imaginary world. This is ignoring the fact that a good portion of the federal government is also unionized. so this entire plan would fall short before it even hit the water.
Yeah I wanna say the majority of people have less holidays off these days already. Hell even paid holidays (where the business doesn't close but you get 1.5x pay) seem to be shrinking.
Hoffa and JFK got whacked for less than this.
OK, start with Christmas Day. I'll wait.
lol if he actually tried this, the speed in which big companies would lobby the fuck out of it would be insane.
fuck him
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.
Where's Cuba?
South of Florida but North of Jamaica.
From this list, it looks like the US and Vietnam are actually tied for the lowest, with 6 each.
China and Russia with 13, 14.

American workers is this true?
true that our president is an illiterate, racist, asshole? Yup.
I hate paid time off. Itβs one of the greatest crimes of modern life. I think Iβll campaign to have my union dismantled and my pay cut in half because the current model is clearly ripping off my employer.
Keep in mind that the guy complaining about PTO hasnβt worked a day in his life.
"Yeah, PTO is gay!" - Guy who works part-time at Dollar General.
FOR REAL THOUGH. Like every person I have ever heard that has complained about PTO, are people who are in positions that either don't accrue it, or accrue it so slowly that it's never usable, or make enough that they don't need to ever worry about being paid vs unpaid when they take holiday.

I actually have coworkers who were complaining about a day off, and saying "everybody's lazy, nobody wants to work anymore". Take the day off, and shut up!
How old are they? I feel like old people have nothing other than their jobs. They never had many hobbies and they never had to raise their kids.
They're over 30, but so am I! π

Tell those coworkers to pick up the slack and work on their day-off. Take the off time for you and others so the aggravted workers feel good and pat their backs.

Golf.
I doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.
I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I'd be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.
I doubt he notices a holiday TBH, it's just the same as the previous day.
I'm sure the racist ghouls around him were complaining about Juneteenth.
yea, which is the only real reason he posted about it. It's just a normal day for him, but he realized he can capitalize on it and make it a PR stunt like always
Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.

And then he went golfing. True story.
And he flew using US government plane. He has spent millions on just plane rides.
Who is wasting tax payer's money.
