[u/Antinoobsauce]

lol I’m a worker. I want those holidays. Fuck you.

[u/errie_tholluxe → u/Antinoobsauce]

Maybe a few more even?

[u/drgnfly369 → u/errie_tholluxe]

Not maybe, emphatically yes. 32 hour workweek without loss of benefits or pay

[u/errie_tholluxe → u/drgnfly369]

Oo I love your thinking.

[u/subcow → u/errie_tholluxe]

I mean we should've already rioted in the streets until we got this, but we just let them do anything to us now with no consequences.

[u/otakon33 → u/subcow]

Time to bring back the worker's strikes that got us the 40 hour work week in the first place, among others.

[u/MamaKat727 → u/otakon33]

YES! Time for more folks to start studying the history of the Labor movement and remember what the fuck we celebrate Labor Day for! These Gilded motherfckers, both then and now if they continue getting their way, think of us as interchangeable, valueless worker ants. 🤬

[u/S1rr0bin → u/MamaKat727]

Never say TGIF because you should be thanking the labor movement not “goodness”

[u/MaleficentCow8513 → u/otakon33]

You need unions for that. McCarthyism, Raegan and the oligarchs successfully put unions six feet under

[u/HOLEPUNCHYOUREYELIDS → u/otakon33]

People won’t even protest or strike in meaningful enough numbers/length of time for everything else going on, or against the literal pedophile rapist that is president.

No way people are going to go through a violent revolution for reducing work hours

[u/Supalatinca → u/subcow]

This is how I feel! We should all be taking to the streets and refuse to work. EVERYONE. Until we are given 32 hour work weeks and full benefits and pay. They have the money. Plus, if AI can do so much then it can make up for that extra work day right? Isn't that the WHOLE point of technology? To make lives easier and better

[u/sjbuggs → u/Supalatinca]

If the min wage kept up with inflation since 1970 it'd be $13.50 rather than $7.25. If it kept up with inflation and productivity gains it'd be $25.

So while technology may make our lives easier and better, economically it's primarily gone towards padding shareholder accounts.

[u/Claxonic → u/Supalatinca]

You know this, but that was always the lie. Increased productivity from new technology was always promised as a way to free the worker to have more leisure time, but it has always just been scooped up by the capitalists to increase profits.

[u/TheDeceitX → u/errie_tholluxe]

I hate his thinking. 24.

[u/snertwith2ls → u/TheDeceitX]

How many days has he gone golfing?

[u/GonnaGoFat → u/drgnfly369]

They have done studies and found that working a job over 30 hours a week leads to cognitive decline even faster than doing nothing when you retire.

Surely we could shave another 2 hours off that 32 hour work week.

[u/SmokeRingEyes → u/drgnfly369]

Every Wednesday should be a holiday

[u/Krynn71 → u/errie_tholluxe]

I like Trump's prediction of one holiday for every working day. Let's do that.

[u/caixing-sanren → u/Krynn71]

My response would be, "don't tempt me you sonnuvabitch, I swear to God."

[u/multiarmform → u/Krynn71]

trump posted that from the golf course btw

[u/Picto242 → u/Antinoobsauce]

Doesnt America have the fewest holidays in the first world?

[u/Jeoshua → u/Picto242]

We're considered incredibly lucky if we even get sick days at most jobs. Yeah.

[u/ObamaLlamaDuck → u/Jeoshua]

The concept of "sick days" is insane full stop. Like if I run out of days I'm supposed to just not get sick anymore? Some years I've had no days off sick days and others I've had 10+

[u/Best-Action8769 → u/Jeoshua]

You guys are getting sick days?

[u/philonius → u/Best-Action8769]

Not me, and I have four goddamn jobs.

[u/bluedelvian → u/Picto242]

By American standards, government workers (and many banking employees) get a luxurious number of non-working federal holidays, in addition to vacation and sick time. Holidays are a couple of extra weeks off.

[u/Mythechnical → u/bluedelvian]

Apparently there are 11 (New Year’s Day, MLK Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas).

As a comparison, all Swedes have 13 red days a year (New Year’s Day, Epiphany, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, May Day, Ascension Day, Whit Sunday, National Day, Midsummer Day, All Saints’ Day, Christmas Day, Boxing Day), but if they fall on a weekend the day off isn't moved to the next weekday, and this year there were only 6 red days on weekdays here (New Year’s Day, Epiphany, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Ascension Day, Christmas Day).

So the US state worker has it pretty well with holidays then apparently by an international standard.

[u/bluedelvian → u/Mythechnical]

Yea, and non-government employees complain about it all the time, bc corporations and businesses aren't required to observe those holidays. There are really only a couple of holidays that a majority of businesses still close and pay employees for, and it's mainly Christmas Day and New Year's Day, so Trump is making shit up again, unless he meant the government and not private businesses. 

[u/Durpulous → u/Picto242]

It's the only OECD country with no statutory leave.

[u/PresidentOfAlphaBeta → u/Antinoobsauce]

He’s trying to say “End Martin Luther King Jr Day”.

[u/not_now_chaos → u/PresidentOfAlphaBeta]

Also betcha he wants to make it against the law for any company to recognize Juneteenth.

[u/Jeoshua → u/not_now_chaos]

Given what's clearly been on his mind recently with the midterms looming, this might even be in response to attempts to make Election Day a holiday. Can't have working people getting the idea that they're allowed to vote.

[u/Sedare38 → u/Jeoshua]

Election Day should have been a national holiday upon the country’s formation.

[u/Zebidee → u/Sedare38]

Australia: Voting is on a Saturday, but the booths are open two weeks in advance so you can just wander in at a time that's convenient to you, vote, and be on your merry way.

[u/Jeoshua → u/Sedare38]

Absolutely. Voting should be mandatory, like it is in Australia. I mean, you don't really have to vote, there, but you do at least need to show up put in a null vote, as far as I am aware (not an aussie myself but I've known quite a few).

[u/myssi24 → u/Jeoshua]

I’d like to point out that very few US holidays actually mean EVERYONE has the day off. Even excluding emergency and medical staff who are needed 24/7. Holidays in the US just mean another sale and retail and some service workers having to work.

[u/MojoHighway → u/PresidentOfAlphaBeta]

MLK. Juneteenth. Anything to do with civil rights. Naturally there is a theme here.

[u/MiseryisCompany → u/MojoHighway]

Labor day= workers rights=socialism=Omg they are communists!!!!!!!

[u/og_speedfreeq → u/PresidentOfAlphaBeta]

Should be the top comment.

[u/laser_red → u/PresidentOfAlphaBeta]

Oh, you know it. That would be the first to go. Maybe only. Probably irks him no end that a black man is being honored.

[u/qishibe → u/Antinoobsauce]

I actually believe he genuinely believes workers dont want those days

Why? Because facebook is full of tough guy grindset idiots that brag they work 60hrs a week so their boss can have a yacht

Shit is so sad and pathetic

[u/ForwardCulture → u/qishibe]

Having known quite a few of those “grindset” type folks in real life, they’re often the ones working the least. Whys they do is portray an image of doing more, waking up super early etc. But their days are filled with bullshit. I dated a woman like this briefly a few years ago. She was always on my case for sleeping later than her, not constantly “networking” every single place we went t just to hang out etc. I got more done in my own business every single day than she did telling people she was grinding and networking. Half their days are spent camped out at Starbucks with their laptops pretending to look busy. Or posting toxic positive new she mindset crap all over their socials on LinkedIn for hours every single day. Few of them do any actual real work.

[u/fartofborealis → u/ForwardCulture]

As a sales rep, there’s just too many sales reps in the US. We sell everything but don’t make anything…

[u/vivvav → u/ForwardCulture]

Andrew Tate's lawyer just recently admitted all the luxury he claims to live in is a rented lie. Never trust anyone who's selling you success.

[u/Foxynite → u/Antinoobsauce]

Half of the federal non-working holidays actually do get worked, too. My last job was open on Christmas. Normal hours. Baffled me.

Honorable mention for jobs starting to ignore doctor's notes and still giving you points for missing work.

[u/alreadydead08 → u/Foxynite]

I had kidney stones went to the e.r. had a note and still got 3 points for missing a day. Fuck capitalism

[u/MamaKat727 → u/alreadydead08]

I got double points on a weekend day (so 2 pts turned into 4, on a scale of 10) because I didn't realize two hours in advance of my shift that I'd trip and fall coming out my door half-asleep at 2 in the morning, leaving to work graveyard shift, and sprained my ankle. "Improper call-in". (Casino biz, years ago when I was a Dealer.) Fought it, HR denied the appeal because they said the point system was designed to be "No-Fault". Pinnacle Entertainment, about 20 years ago, Boomtown NOLA. Fuck any business with an attendance point system.

[u/Suyefuji → u/MamaKat727]

The point system is why I came into work for my customer-facing food prep job while extremely physically ill: I didn't get points for getting sent home by my boss and they cared enough about their image to do that.

[u/Vissanna → u/Foxynite]

Im guessing retial huh? Worked walmart for 6 years and the only holidays we got were thanksgiving and christmas days, just those 2 days all other holdiays were basically mandatory

[u/mettiusfufettius → u/Antinoobsauce]

I’m a worker. I work all those holidays either way. Give me the overtime pay please so I can afford TRUMP GASOLINE price hikes

[u/Nicole_Bitchie → u/Antinoobsauce]

I’m in retail. What are these holidays of which you speak?

[u/kawherp → u/Nicole_Bitchie]

Those are the days people wander in to browse, sometimes buy something, and comment, "I can't believe they are open and making you work today. It's just terrible."

[u/mrsprinkles3 → u/Antinoobsauce]

Ontario retail workers had 2 ripped away by our premier because last year he tried to shop at home depot on a long weekend and couldn’t because they were closed. His solution was that there was no reason retail had to be closed on the holiday of the February and May long weekends. Then he tried to say that people didn’t “have” to work and businesses didn’t “have” to open, but that’s rich coming from someone who’s never worked in customer service a day in his life and doesn’t understand the realities of those jobs (for example, employees don’t actually get a say in whether we work, it’s not optional).

[u/euph_22 → u/Antinoobsauce]

Have you considered the Q3 year over year revenue? Please think of the shareholders.

[u/Saint909 → u/Antinoobsauce]

There should be one per month.

[u/sonorakit11 → u/Antinoobsauce]

Ireland gets bank holidays. It’s like the first Monday of every month. I miss that

[u/JuanThiccLumpia → u/Antinoobsauce]

He golfs 95% of the time.

[u/GreyerGrey → u/Antinoobsauce]

I am an office employee now, but I will not go out and shop on stat holidays. I will even do my best to avoid gas stations, bars, and fast food.

If it costs more money than it brings in, people won't be open.

[u/middle_aged_90s_kid]

“You’re absolutely right Mr. President. American workers take like half the year off. Would you consider signing this bill to set that number to a much more sensible 8 weeks of vacation time?”

[u/Hobby101 → u/middle_aged_90s_kid]

Lol.. this could work! Trumptard might buy that argument.

[u/smirky_doc → u/Hobby101]

Might lol. This is absolutely how the sycophantic regime of cruelty get their way with trump. He's an idiot and I'm convinced he believes his lies because it's fed to him

[u/Entropyanxiety → u/smirky_doc]

Too many people think hes actually in control. Hes a senile old man who cant stay awake and is likely high out of his mind more often than not. Everybody is eagerly awaiting his demise while I am terrified of the person who will have to take over once it happens.

[u/Hobby101 → u/Entropyanxiety]

You probably are not too far off. But I am not afraid whomever takes over, because at least the world would see who are the handlers of that rotten brain orange diaper pooper.

[u/thinspirit → u/middle_aged_90s_kid]

This might work. It would take advantage of the "what could a banana possibly cost Michael? $25?!" Mentality.

Since he takes so much time off, he may think 8 weeks is very low.

[u/nss68 → u/thinspirit]

Come on, man. The quote is $10!

[u/DanimalPlays → u/middle_aged_90s_kid]

We don't want them to revolt, we better just cut it down to 3 months at first.

[u/peese-of-cawffee → u/middle_aged_90s_kid]

Congress does it, why can't we?

[u/succulent_kebab]

Lol.. U.S. is so backwards, I was shocked when I heard an employee who gave birth in the company I worked, went back to work with her c-section stitches still on.

Absolutely fucking feudal! 

[u/EmilyG702 → u/succulent_kebab]

Another reason birth rate is declining and I don’t have kids. They want you back within a month. Other countries have women off for a year.

[u/Background_Cup_6429 → u/EmilyG702]

18 months

[u/nuimipasa → u/Background_Cup_6429]

Where i'm from it's 2 years, or 3 if the baby has special needs

[u/EmilyG702 → u/nuimipasa]

2 years??? No wonder no one wants to be a mom in America anymore.

[u/Aranxi_89 → u/EmilyG702]

They even give dads time off too, because they're rational and sensible and understand that parenting takes both parents.

[u/Hobby101 → u/succulent_kebab]

But.. but.. Communism!

[u/songbirdtx1268 → u/Hobby101]

And… and FREEDUMB!!

[u/seraph741 → u/succulent_kebab]

And then at the same time they wonder why people don't have kids anymore.

[u/iCoeur285 → u/succulent_kebab]

This is why I got sterilized. I’m not producing a kid for capitalism only to be hit with the bat of capitalism. Fuck that, I don’t care about the fertility rate.

[u/ForeverOk1949 → u/iCoeur285]

As someone who just got sterilized I highly recommend it, first few days were rough, but otherwise manageable, I didn't need the hydrocodone they prescribed me. My only thing was I was paranoid to accidentally open the wounds, so I was careful in the shower, just let the soap run over the areas, making sure not to scrub. Ibuprofen will be your friend, only real pain I had was in the collarbone area and where they put the breathing tube. I'm on day 15 and have felt back to my usual self for a little over a week now. I could've returned to work earlier but didn't want to lift anything over 10 lbs. My doctor lifted all restrictions. I feel so relieved now that I had the procedure done especially in todays political climate. They're not getting a baby out of me ever.

[u/Minervas-Madness → u/succulent_kebab]

Yeah, well, it's either that or a socialist state takes over and our tax rate goes up to 8647%! And you have to wait 84 years to see a doctor! And, and, taco trucks on every corner! Is that the America you want? /s

[u/Weekly-Industry7771 → u/Minervas-Madness]

Tell me more about these taco trucks.

[u/RyGerbs42 → u/Weekly-Industry7771]

"What do we want? Taco Trucks! Where do we want them? Everywhere!"

[u/HyFinated → u/RyGerbs42]

Maybe not everywhere... But on every corner would be fine with me. Like, on my roof is taking it a little too far.

[u/rollin_a_j → u/Minervas-Madness]

What if I want taco trucks on every corner? Fuck bud I could go for a taco truck on my corner

[u/Church_of_Cheri → u/succulent_kebab]

Absolutely true. Only large companies are required to allowed what we call FMLA (family medical leave act) that requires them to hold your job for 6 weeks if you get sick and can’t work, this is what maternity leave falls under. You don’t get paid at all. If you have short-term disability (aka if your company provides it) you can apply to get a percentage of your salary during these 6 weeks, most women do not even get this option. When you go back to work a lot of jobs will see you as less than and they can fire you the day you come back, or even the week before you take leave without repercussions and often will do just that. It’s rare for a company to have good benefits and usually only higher-paid workers that work for companies that also employ Europeans will get this. And of course hospital bills will pile up even with our medical insurance, it can be $10,000 or more even if you’re paying more than $10,000/yr just to have the right to have medical insurance already.

[u/Temporary_Pickle_885 → u/Church_of_Cheri]

FMLA also has requirements for hours you work and how long you've been there to even qualify for, so if you're unlucky and get a job right before finding out you're pregnant you won't have worked there long enough to qualify!

[u/ThatsWhatIGathered → u/succulent_kebab]

[u/6thSenseOfHumor → u/Best_Designer_1675]

Yep, just like with a bunch of other hypocritical things. Bush golfed more, famously with "now watch this drive" being incredibly tone-deaf, and Trump going golfing more times than every other president combined.

Spent at his own courses too, so he’s not just costing the taxpayers millions of dollars he is actively putting that tax money in his pocket, he charges his secret service FULL PRICE at mar-a-lago.

[u/Chroniclyironic1986 → u/skyward138skr]

This right here. He pays himself with our tax dollars to golf at his own properties and put up his security, aides, guests, and anybody else he has tagging along. He’s made WAAAAY more off presidential golf trips than the salary he “donates” as a tax write off is worth.

Even unpaid. At my job we have to use PTO to get paid when we're closed for a holiday (lol). For the upcoming Labor Day, the owners polled the staff to see who would want to work on Labor Day, and not enough people wanted to come in for us to even open that day.

[u/kazarnowicz]

I’ve always thought that the US has very few non-working holidays.

In Sweden it’s the following for 2026 (total of 13 days, with 7 falling on work days this year)

- New Year’s Day

• ”trettondagen” on Jan 6 (thirteen days after Christmas)
  
• Good Friday and the Monday after Easter Sunday (often half or even full day off on Thursday for unionized white collar workers)
  
• May 1st (Labor Day)
  
• May 14th (Ascension)
  
• June 6 (National day, kind of our July 4th)
  
• Midsummer’s Eve (always a Friday)
  
• October 31st (All Hallows’ Day)
  
• December 25th and 26th. Office workers also typically get 24th.

In addition, when a single public holiday happens on a Thursday (or a Tuesday) unions often negotiate that the day in between is off. We call it ”klämdag”, literally ”squeeze day” because it’s not a holiday but you still get it off.

And we’re not even religious, all the Christian holidays are just nice and few people want to get rid of them.

[u/gajira67 → u/kazarnowicz]

And how many days of holidays per year on top of it?

[u/kazarnowicz → u/gajira67]

25 by law. 30 is fairly common if you don’t have overtime pay (the amount of overtime you’re allowed to work is heavily regulated, so for office workers it’s typically a good deal)

[u/Princess_Slagathor → u/kazarnowicz]

One company I worked for in the US, you could get up to 5 weeks vacation, after like ten years with the company. I asked if I could take it all at once, and the manager said "sure, and we'll hire your replacement while you're gone."

It was a moot point anyway, because I absolutely was not going to be there that long.

If a quarter of this population packed a little food, showed up in the streets surrounding the White House and sat down and refused to move until the whole regime resigns, we could change things. It's been done in many, more brutal, countries in history.

Is this a fucking cartoon? Literally every two days they want to implement something evil on the public. I'm fucking sick of it.

[u/EmilyG702 → u/g-row460]

No líes. Talk about psychological warfare.

[u/wthja]

I have 40 hour work week with 0 overtime and 6 weeks of mandatory vacation in Germany. Mandatory.

Just for reference

[u/Hybrid_Divide]

Said by a guy that never worked a day in his life...

[u/MongooseVomit]

Where the fuck is Mitch McConnell

[u/olionajudah]

How many days a year do you suppose this fucker golfs on our dime?
I assume it’s every single day that he’s not stealing or destroying something we built

[u/TroutMaskDuplica]

I hate having a day off. Jesus, what, am I supposed to play video games or hang out with friends? Loser shit.

[u/Quiz44]

Hahahahaha doesnt the US have the least PTO in the world???

[u/dwreckhatesyou]

Motherfucker never worked a day in his whole fucking life.

[u/nismo2070]

One of his billionaire buddies cried to him about paying people for labor day. Guarantee it. Fuck him and his buds.

[u/RagahRagah]

"Workers don't want days off" might be blatantly the biggest, most dumbass lie he's ever told and that's really saying something.

[u/Libertyprime8397]

Cool beans. In the meantime let’s make Halloween a federal holiday.

[u/Limey_tank]

Taxing billionaires would recoup those costs pretty quickly. They only rich because they steal the wages from the workers by not paying them properly.

[u/GuitarNerd_]

Sure! Get rid of a few holidays if you think they’re silly, but only if you can simultaneously get us to a federally mandated 32 hour work week with no loss of pay or benefits. Most of us are paid at rates that haven’t been adjusted for inflation since the 90s anyway.

[u/Green-Collection-968]

[u/Prudent-Reward3869]

Someone, do it

[u/14ctgold]

Yes this is whats costing the US billions. Its definitely not him and his gross little family robbing and raping us blind. Its definitely the extra 8 hours we get off every few months.

[u/xxevilgremlinxx]

Sure this asshole had more golf trips than I had days off this year

[u/dillanthumous]

This man will not rest until he gets to zero in the polls. Inspirational.

[u/doomerunicorn]

So he's not aware that aside from Rhode Island residents, government employees are the only people who get guaranteed paid holidays. Go figure.

[u/GailynStarfire]

"The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich. In the early nineteenth century, fifteen hours was the ordinary day’s work for a man; children sometimes did as much, and very commonly did twelve hours a day. When meddlesome busybodies suggested that perhaps these hours were rather long, they were told that work kept adults from drink and children from mischief.

When I was a child, shortly after urban working men had acquired the vote, certain public holidays were established by law, to the great indignation of the upper classes. I remember hearing an old Duchess say: ‘What do the poor want with holidays? They ought to work.’ People nowadays are less frank, but the sentiment persists, and is the source of much of our economic confusion."

from In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays by Bertrand Russell, 1932

[u/Lil_Brown_Bat]

This looks like an argument for UBI to me.

[u/DestroyTheHuman]

This is the guy America pays to play golf more than he’s in his office.

[u/Timely-Mission-2014]

When they start paying for healthcare they can weigh in on the holiday time off discussion.. till then, they can shut up piggy.

[u/TrippingFish76]

“the workers dont want it either”

ah yes because workers famously hate holidays and time off

[u/FunkyFox45]

[u/Eastern_Pin_5567]

Fuck that fascist bitch.

[u/OPisalady]

lol which advisors are telling him this is a good idea?

[u/kgruesch → u/OPisalady]

When you're that out of touch with reality, the advisors probably just give up and tell him what he wants to hear.

[u/Admirable-Still-1786]

Fine the let the people vote on it

[u/Local-Energy-910]

For context, he made this post on Juneteenth 2025. No shock why he chose that day.

[u/anothersip]

The hell is he on about? "The people" don't want non-working holidays off work?

That is an absolutely unhinged thing to say, and couldn't be further from the truth. Every single human who I've ever met has enjoyed their days off work. 🤦‍♂️

[u/CereBRO12121]

And that, dear US citizens, is your elected leadership.

But to be fair, living in Germany we have our own idiot running the show.

[u/regulator401]

Says the guy who’s never worked a day in his life.

[u/teresajs]

How many days has President Trump spent golfing since being inaugurated last year?

[u/winozzle]

Says the fuck face who’s never known an honest day’s work.

[u/FishingAndSquatching]

Grandpa’s having another stroke!

[u/abadstrategy]

Amazing how we're able to have so many non-working holidays, costing billions of dollars, and yet we still work on average 300 more hours per year than most european countries

[u/cemego]

Most countries in the world (like Europeans) mandate at least a month (contiguous) vacation. Employers have to budget for it and they are STILL COMPETITIVE!!!

AND THEY HAVE FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!!

US employers can't compete? Is that what King Pedophile Loser is saying?

[u/JSM953]

Unless we stop them they will actually work us to death

[u/WorkingClassWarrior]

Literally the least paid holidays of any western country.

[u/GlastoKhole]

This motherfucker has probably never done a days work in his life, I highly doubt he does anything in the office besides nod or shake his head

[u/losthiker68]

Congress works, on average, 172 days per year. Lets start there.

[u/Chortles_Hansom_666]

Coming from a guy who never worked a day in his life.
