“The workers don’t want it”. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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".
