I don't work so...

ELL THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A HOLIDAY TO ME...

BUT I did work for manyyyyy years. 
And in a way I can't say there is a holiday I do like to be honest.  I've explored the whole idea of why I celebrate Christmas, a totally fabricated illusion of goodwill and happiness...it's like the thing to do but maybe just maybe this year I can x-nay the entire procedure?? 

Thanksgiving, well I don't even eat Meat so what's the use?  Depends on my son if he wants to come over fine...Maybe we'll do a couple of pizza.  He does not spend time with me, only comes to complain if I did something that annoys him so I think I will learn from his Example. 

 

I did some looking into why do we have Labor Day in the first place....and guess what I found out.  Back in 1894 the federal gov't made the holiday as a way of saving face after the military was called in to "settle" a Pullman Car Employee Strike and they killed 30 people  in Chicago!  Yeah so back then when the "industrial revolution" was in full swing workers were seen only as a means to an end, putting more money in the pockets of the wealthy or the powerful, basically same as today, only there are a few more laws to protect workers now..

In  1893 there was a recession , and Pullman (Pullman Railroad Cars) laid off hundreds of workers, then reduced the salary by 30% of  the remaining  work force.  At the same time he refused to lower rents PAID to his "Pullman tenements" and the price of goods in his "mercantile" stores where workers lived and bought their goods... and So they went out on strike for better working conditions, better salary, and fair treatment,  the US Attorney General called for an injunction  against the strikers and the leaders of the strike when they set fire to a US Mail car...and Grover Cleveland sent troops to enforce the injunction.

So as they created Labor Day and the bill was signed at the same time Cleveland was sending troops to Chicago to enforce the injunction!!

“It was a way of being supportive of labor,”  “Labor unions were a constituency of the Democratic Party at the time, and it didn't look good for Cleveland, who was a Democrat, to be putting down this strike.”
(history.com)

The strikers set fire to many locomotives, and the troops fired upon them killing 30 people!!

SO to make it seem feds are PRO workers, they created Labor Day...

Just like they Killed the Native Americans then created Thanksgiving Day...millions of soldiers died so they created Memorial Day, the ones who came home with a leg missing they got Veterans Day, and to make us revere the leaders they created Presidents day, 

and the list  just goes on and on and on. I see a pattern here...

NOW you know the truth behind it...does it continue to instill American Pride in you??? 
It's just hogwash and BS.
