Eisenhower created Law Day in the late 50's because May Day was thought of as a commie day. It has been a holiday since the 60's and the president is just required to issue a proclamation about it or something.

The way I understand it, they shifted Labour Day to September in an attempt to disrupt the labour movement.

Huh, a new holiday to replace May day, eh?

Did this come out of left field or was there a warning beforehand?

Is there a chance he might just start making a new holiday every day until his term ends?

since when did anyone ever celebrate fucking may day anyway

"Doesn't result in starvation or genocide"

Someguy Johnson

Hell, that's probably true. I just wiki'd it because I had no fucking clue Law Day was a real day.

Do they celebrate by tipping planes into a nosedive, and wildly radioing for ineffective help?

what the hell is deaconblues doing outside of an argument thread

DeaconBlues

Nap-naps don't be that way.

This is flirting for me and Callius, there are forms to be followed and structures to be respected.

Um, you realize that the "benefits" that native american's get isn't about "white guilt" it's about rule of law and treaties that were signed (and broken)?

Right?

Or are you just being retarded?

Hey, I didn't say which way I meant it.

And you should see the foreplay that Cal and I have.

Actually, it looks a lot like this.

So, if it weren't for capitalism you would begin killing en masse?

Like, is that what you're sayin'?

Hey, I'm on the ground here. What do you expect me to do about some mechanical problem with your aircraft from here? Fix it yourself, why don't 'cha.

This is the worst thing I have ever read

Most Reservations are incredibly poor, rife with alchohol abuse, people live in trailers, and their ancient culture has been more or less raped and denigrated into something incredibly depressing

I mean christ

I don't care if they were stupid enough to give us Massachusets for some beads or that they lived in shitty little tents, shit sucks for them

DeaconBlues

Mass Transit NYC

ThatDudeOverThere

okay, so how exactly was their strike bullshit?

lostwords

it probably inconvenienced his commute. Supporting strikes as long as they don't interrupt your usual life

Seph

i support long strikes to deacons back

I was affected.

Plus they got a really good deal that they rejected just so they could show off and strike.

Like 12% raises for driving a subway train

The Otaku Suppository

You know what's bullshit? French railroad workers. Every summer it's 'we want better pay', 'we don't wanna work it's hot outside', 'we can't feed our families', 'we want more benefits' abloo bloo bloo

Lazy bastards get back to work. This tourist industry isn't going to pay for itself.

ThatDudeOverThere

man that's the whole point of a strike

you quit doing your job to make people notice how shitty it is when you aren't working

then hold out for benefits
