If you're suggesting cancelling Juneteenth because it "overlaps" ("" because I don't really agree with that) MLK day, wouldn't you cancel MLK day instead? Emancipation was a little more a step forward than the civil rights movement...

Of course, if you consult the experts on cancelling shit, they'd most likely say that Columbus day might be a better fit in the chopping block, and IF we need to "make room on the calendar" (also bullshit) in order to make voting a legit day off (is it not? If someone who works for me asks for time off to vote, I'm going to ask them if they need a fucking ride to the polls... Come on people...), I kinda gotta go with Columbus being the least relevant current federal holiday...

Just my opinion, mind, but cancelling the new shit because "muh traditions" is fucking dumb... Be better...

    Columbus day shouldn't exist because he really didn't discover America in the first goddamn place

    Technically Columbus Day is now Indigenous People’s Day since Biden changed it in 2021, so something much more worth celebrating IMO

    Lol, so they already cancelled it? Meh...

    It's funny though... I live smack in the middle of a reservation, and I've never heard of this indigenous people day. I kinda don't think any of the tribe here gives a shit... They have their own government, and at least in our area, thats the only one they give a fuck about :)
