some americans get fired if they miss a single day of work due to illness you fuck Some americans have shitty jobs that some idiot off the street can be trained to do in about fifteen minutes. If anything, these "fight for 15" movements are to blame for exacerbating this. Only the "best" minimum wage employees will be able to keep a minimum wage job. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So anyone with a government job gets a day off to vote woke the working shmuck gets reminded once again that national holidays aren't guaranteed days off. This is a bad take. Because, again, people without guaranteed days off don't get Columbus Day guaranteed off either. So at worst it's a neutral change. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll still have to work. I don't get federal holidays off. This is pretty much the problem with proposals like this, moving Election Day to a weekend, etc. It doesn't do enough to guarantee more people the opportunity to vote. Basically anyone who doesn't work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday job doesn't really see any benefit from such a policy. The low-income working class specifically will be less likely to have off work in either of those scenarios. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea to implement, but it's dangerous to treat as a cure-all instead of more helpful measures like expanding early voting and mail-in voting as options. --- http://weareontherun.bandcamp.com ^^^^^ HEY! ^^^ LISTEN! ^^^^^ ...
