Juneteenth recognized in 47 states? BULLSH*T!!! Until two weeks ago, I never heard of it, and I have spent years in Texas on consulting gigs, and not a peep about Juneteenth.
Now, this fits in the nice to have, but we have to be smart as a nation. We have enough national holidays! Last thing we need in the competitive world we operate in is more holidays. Take Puerto Rico, they have 24 holidays. They have all the holidays we have in the USA, and many more for their own events. 24 holidays, no joke. And what does that mean? It means corporations are not willing to invest money in a workforce that have two days off every month on average. Pure idiocy, and I oppose any more holidays....PERIOD!!!
And these jack*sses that are tearing down statues, have torn down statues of Abe Lincoln, and destroyed the memorial of a regiment of black Union soldiers in Massachusetts, are worthy of zero respect. So, I say screw this notion and to hell with all that think we should destroy our history.
