    While we’re at it, can we change the name to “No Labor Day?” 🤔

    Always seemed weird to me that it’s one of the few days you get a day off, but it’s named like it’s the only day labor is done.

      It’s named for the Labor movement. maybe you’re joking and I’m just dense but… yeah.

      “Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, diverse groups of trade unionists chose a variety of days on which to celebrate labor. In the United States, a September holiday called Labor Day was first proposed in the early 1880s.”
