bigorange Report post Posted June 17, 2021 I figured there would already be chatter on here about the new federal holiday Biden just signed into law. We just got notified that our offices will be closed tomorrow, but I have so much going on with my projects it will be just another Friday for me. Maybe I can get caught up on some things if they cancel all the meetings that should have been emails. LoL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted June 17, 2021 I’m not a government employee so it doesn’t impact my work schedule. But I think it’s an important moment in US history that should be remembered and celebrated. My hope is that the celebration for this event can be more reverent than the free-day-off work spirit surrounding days to remember those who have served our country. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is any day of remembrance/observance/celebration given its due reverence and recognition anymore? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted June 17, 2021 June 19th been around a long time Will the Republican president that made it so or the hundreds of thousands that died to make it happen be credited? Doubtful. Just more pandering from a race baiting Biden. 14 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delw Report post Posted June 17, 2021 This is kinda ironic, Once again Whitey wins, everyone that works a federal/state job gets a paid day off. then you have a state or school back east that is canceling all holidya and renaming them to " A day off" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
