The Unpaid Punditry Corps question of the week is - "Would it be a good idea for the United States government to establish a few more official Monday holidays to provide America with more three day holiday weekends?"
No, I don't know where they come from either.
However, the answer is "No".
No?
Let me explain.
Three day weekends are fun if you actually have the time off, but what about all those people who don't. You know, the faceless ciphers who pour your coffee at Denny's or ring up your gas or bag all your groceries for you at the store.
Aside:And what is it with that in America, did you all regress to childhood when you entered the store? You have two hands, bag your own f**king groceries you lazy twits! Then the store employee can help the old lady with arthiritis instead of you, you able bodied work-shy lump.
Ok...anyway...the poor people, and they are all poor, who do the service jobs which enable you middle and upper class holidayers to relax and have fun don't ever get time off. They can't afford it. They even work Christmas day and New Years - and you don't tip them well enough!
So no, no more holidays - unless maybe the U.S. would like to reinstate another old Roman custom as well as the one about invading "barbarian" nations so they can spread "civilisation and freedom". The Romans had a holiday where the slaves and the owners would change jobs for a day and the rich folks would serve their slaves hand and foot. How about THAT for a holiday?
