The workers don’t want it. What workers actually want is an end to holidays, weekends, and time off in general. I mean, what good is being a “worker” if you’re not working every waking minute of your life? /s
I know several, they’re type that base their whole identity around their job, and the type to die very quickly after retirement. They also vote conservative.
bring back the 168 hour workweek
Like everything he says/does there is a slight truth buried deep in there.
Some ‘workers’ really don’t want it. They are called corporate middle management. They don’t want the wage slaves to disrupt profit or crowd the spaces that they will be using because management will still take the day off.
Nah, the people who don’t want it are hourly workers who are living paycheck to paycheck, which is tens of millions of workers.
The sad truth is he’s right, but the reason is that for these people, missing out on $80 could be the difference between paying the water bill or not this month.
It’s not that people love to work so much that they hate missing a day, it’s that they can’t afford to not work a day.
There’s a big difference between “want” and “have to”… No-one "wants’ to work more, but many people “have to”.

Workers. Hate. Paid. Holidays.
We’ve been saying it for years, but nobody listens. The liberal nanny state keeps forcing me to stay home, spend time with my family, or even go on vacation, when all I really want to do is stare at spreadsheets for another eight hours.
Enough is enough!
Before resting, I go to work tired tomorrow. After resting, I go to work angry tomorrow.
Without tasting freedom for a day or two I would not be angry about losing it.
Defund weekends, they are some DEI bullshit!

I know right? ALL I want is to make money and not for me but for some idiot who has control of the market and that means that if my labor is worth $200 an hours all I want is to work work work and especially for a fraction of that.
In all fairness, Trump is just a moldy, hollowed-out Golem. Every Juneteenth, Stephen Miller shmooshes his shiny dome straight into Trump’s rear end and starts flicking and vibrating his tongue across Donnie’s prostate like it’s a musical instrument carved from rotting cheese, inducing a flurry of nerve impulses that spread through Trump’s spine and into his abnormally short, sticky sausage fingers, where they smear out the latest batch of vile racist garbage.
This is the worst thing to read first thing in the morning 🤮
We are all getting fucked by captaitalism
More context, he said this on June 19th, the day Juneteenth is celebrated across America.
It’s a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in America.
He obviously doesn’t want any holidays related to black people to be celebrated.Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss’s house was?
They also had more days off back then, more time to sharpen that axe.
More holidays, but when you’re a subsistence farmer, those aren’t really days off, just days you don’t have to work for the rent.
A lot less workers too to be fair (the plague more than did its work…), so it was a workers market
And worked a lot less than 40 hours a week
well, worked less than 40hrs a week for an employer. They had a ton of shit to do at home, and if they weren’t married, doubly so.
My grandma used to tell me stories of how long it would take to forage for food before refridgerators
What a piece of shit post. He’s using the date to signal solidarity to his racist voters.
What do you mean?
This was posted on Juneteenth.
He posted it on Juneteenth, i.e. the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery.
Thought slavery is still legal in the US…
Chattel slavery is illegal. It’s true that you can be enslaved, or at least enslaved in all but name and forced to work, as punishment for a crime. I.e. as part of your incarceration. This is per the 13th amendment.
I’m not enough of a legal eagle to explain what would happen or what your recourse would (or would not) be if you refused, though.
‘Best’ case scenario for refusing to be a prisoner slave is you would lose all “privileges”.
No yard time, probably placed into solitary. No commissary access - so things like soap and toothpaste would be withheld.
Food is also restricted to “basics” along the lines of bread and water.
Of course the reality is they will straight up torture you for not playing by their rules. Aka complete withholding of food and interaction and cleanliness as they either ‘forget’ you in solitary or just have an ‘accident’ with you.
It is.
14th13th amendment.
That’s… I’m speechless. I tought it was idiotic when it “just” suggested that workers beg to work more. It had a brazen “abuse and ridicule working people” spin on it. But it not about economic slavery… It’s about the acctuall slavery? That is… we need a word for idiotic and evil and the same time.
Thanks for the context.

What the hell is a non working holiday? Last I checked everyone with a real job works every holiday.
What are these “real jobs” you speak of? At the absolutely very least, teachers typically also have off for many federal holidays, are you saying that isn’t a “real job”?
If abusing kids was a job the unemployment rate would be damn near 0.
He’s right. This year, everybody’s gotta work Christmas.
Is that in project 2025 ? I dont remember but they are on track for sure.
You know those tropes in old cartoons where overworked factory workers are given a union-mandated 3-minute lunch break? That’s the future of America.
Okay, grandpa. Time for bed.
I didn’t even get to take off yesterday. Fuck this guy.
Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.
Yeah Americans have way too many holidays, like two hole weeks per year!
I mean, compare that to the Europeans with their lousy 5 weeks per year, they never take off!
Europeans don’t have 5 weeks of holidays. It of course depends on the country, region, and sometimes city, but usually is between 8 and 11 days of holidays (that everyone gets on the same day, like new years or the respective independence day) and between 4 and 6 weeks of PTO, which every person chooses when to take.
Plus no sick days, if you are sick you stay at home, no quota. Optionally some paperwork if the sickness lasts a bunch of time.
It would be fun to make Trump work a job for 90 days. Nothing major. Maybe answering phones for a help line.
9 to 5 desk job.
Monday through Friday.
If he misses a day he has to “find a new job” and start over.
The dude would fucking CRACK like he was being waterboarded!
Yeah, like how he “worked” at McDee’s as a fry cook for 2 minutes and then smiled and waved at people for the rest of his “shift”.
This should be a requirement for holding public office.
Should be a requirement for life. My SO always says everyone should be required to work retail for one week during the holidays. I have to agree.
Which is why it’s absolutely insane they use aoc’s prior job as a bartender as an insult. Motherfuckers, she’s probably the only person in office who actually understands what it means to work.
And then for evenings and weekends, he has to: do chores around the house, fix shit instead of hiring someone else to do it, pay bills, contact businesses because they billed you incorrectly and you can’t afford to pay the extra hundred they’re charging you, go grocery shopping, meal prep, do taxes, and all the while be a good husband, father, and person who takes care of themselves.
