National day of mourning.Apparently the guy that gave away the Panama Canal died.

They need a National Day of Mourning for all the families that lost farms after carter banned them selling wheat to the USSR, which other countries bought for pennies and sold them anyway.

Another ridiculous day off.

Oh but he helped build all them homes on the pine ridge reservation, that where ruined in no time.

Cost my grandpa his love of farming.

I loathe how the politicians / govt employees create holidays then tell us, their employer, to pay them for that day off.

There so stressed that they need more days off . Maybe it's time that the mail is handled by a private company.

Exactly right!

Past president dead guy, so what, go to work... not like they're going to the funeral

You are not paying for a USPS employee unless you use the USPS....btw...most of them....mail handlers ....plant workers etc are working, you just don't get mail delivery for a day. You'll be ok.....the USPS probably saves money by not delivering mail for a day.
