Who took the Juneteenth holiday yesterday?

[ua_guy]

I wonder how many days throughout history had some major significance to them? It would be nice to celebrate them all. That way, no one would ever have to work.

Don't worry, Rennigade, Walmart will still be open.

Thank goodness. I couldnt possibly make it through the day without visiting the peopleofwalmart site. Imagine a day without new content...

Thats crazy. Id like to know what their monthly traffic looks like? Im sure that guy is doing well.

Perhaps if it were something which had deeply impacted you personally, you would feel differently.

Hmm. Well my great great great great great great grandfather was a slave in Kittery Maine. He was a Scot captured in the Scottish-English War as a POW, and sent to the colonies to work for free for the rest of his life in a foundry. Does that sound like very much fun?

Where's my holiday?

[TexasHusker]

ouch.

was that a "gotcha" that I missed? Walmart is open every day last I checked. I was just in there on Saturday, and it was the first time I've been to Walmart in 4 months.

You are a white male. Every day is your holiday.

Sorry, couldn't help myself

Seems there was a shooting in Oakland on Juneteenth. When the ambulance arrives, I am so proud of how the celebrants handled the situation.

James, will it help any if they bump my tax rate up another 10 points?

That video makes me thankful that I live in the country.
I have no desire to ever go to a city.
That is a complete breakdown of humanity and civility.
WTH is wrong with people?

Inexcusable as it is, it's also what years of systemic racism and economic inequality look like. Here we are, a presumably white guy complaining about a holiday he's not obligated to celebrate, and another claiming shock and horror at what he thinks "city life" is. And neither of you see yourselves as part of the problem.

When I watched this video, I thought exactly the same thing.

We all have to own that we are responsible for people twerking on the ambulance whilst the EMTs are busy trying to save someone's life.

I think one would be hard-pressed to discover a date with no historical significance.
