    I like how he posted that on Juneteenth. I'm sure he feels that making it a federal holiday was a mistake

    US has always been higher on the list of avg hours worked.

    and generally there is less productivity per hour for a worker in a 55 hour week vs a 45 hour week.

    Weird how this was the holiday he acted to.
    Coincidence I’m sure.

    Probably nothing serious, just demagoguery for his base.

    What? Winter Solstice isn’t a real thing that happens in your opinion? As far we can tell, Jesus of Nazareth was born in August.

    Winter Solstice is Dec 21st. I'd be fine with getting all the solstices and equinoxes off ... like I said, real things that happen ...

    More than half the workers in Iceland are working 4 days a week and productivity has increased since they started initial trials back in 2015.

    Might as well add Toyotathon to the list, it's bigger than some of the holidays we support now.

    I would make Columbus Day, Great American Day, and celebrate a different person every year. That way you would not make any more Federal Holidays, there are enough of them now.

    Sounds like a winning stance to take. Perhaps Trump can dash off an EO to rescind federal days off for the working man while he tools around in his golf cart. Right on brand, President Ebeneezer.
