Happy Juneteenth
I support the idea. 100%.
But the name is confusing as hell. Which "teenth" are we talking about? 14th? All the "teenths"?
Another holiday I have to work. Yes, I get holiday pay. But I /have/ to work 3 days, (day before, day of, and day after), to get it. For an extra $3.50 an hour during that one 8 hour shift. $28 extra bucks in my pocket.
Whoot.
That's only MY experience of it. That applies to every holiday.
I am happy that other people can take the day and delve into what the holiday stands for. It is important to discuss.
People died. People killed over this. People are still.
