The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 06, 2021

It’s Wilberforce question following the Liberalist logic?

I always thought labor day should be the only day of the year you had to work.

Because calling it “rest day” would become too ephemeral!!

(O _ O)

Tell that to the retail and shift workers.

From the mouth of a child.

I always wondered that, even as a child!

why don’t you ask the geniuses that came up with it… but that does sound like a good idea.

For retail workers it is “All Hands on Deck” day. EVERYBODY WORKS!

Because it’s celebrated on a Monday, not Sunday.

I thought it was a holiday to celebrate all the pain we put our moms through to give us this wonderful life … Thanks Mom

Brutus, we want an answer.

Those were called weekends, until the coming of hand-held computers/phones.

All the others are the “rest”, young Wil!

POLITICIANS TAKE THE WHOLE YEAR OFF. EXCEPT DURING ELECTION YEAR

I had a SON born on LABOR DAY. Sept 2 that year.

Brutus, you should say the following: Good question son. There were serious discussions at the time as to what to call the day, AND Rest Day was in fact considered. Some states had already enacted the holiday prior to it becoming a Federal Holiday and had called it Labor Day. However, to settle the name controversy, they put all the names in one hat; President Grover Cleveland picked out Labor Day and there you have it. A Fib mixed with truth is always a better way to handle a question like that….

Labor Day is to recognized those that get the work done that matters. Not sure why offices are closed on Labor Day. :P

A CEO could take a year off, no one would really notice. If all the delivery people and truck drivers took a week off, everyone would notice. OK, it would probably only take two or three days.

So many places are open on Labor Day now so it’s not that big of a holiday. I worked shift-work for years and weekends and holidays were just another day.

There’s no honor in rest day.

It very rarely happens, but in this instance Wilberforce is guilty of over thinking something.

point

I liked working on labor day. Triple pay.

That’s called the sabbath…

on rest day you could feel free to use the rest room…

It really should have been called ‘Workers Day’
