I don’t have off for Veterans’ Day on Monday.
I’m sorry—what?
It’s a federal holiday. We should all be OFF. The people want off—GIVE THE PEOPLE OFF.
What’s the point of federal holidays if we don’t observe them nationally? Is it a FEDERAL HOLIDAY, or is it a “SOMEWHAT-FEDERAL HOLIDAY?”
Pick a lane, bozos. Either we celebrate the holiday (which we should) or we don’t, but don’t give half of us the day and the other half not. That’s the perfect recipe for a forgotten holiday.
If we had to forget about any federal holiday, I’d say we should forget about George Washington’s birthday. Sure, he was a pretty cool dude—but he’s dead. And also, who really cares? He couldn’t even keep his own teeth. We shouldn’t celebrate such poor oral hygiene. If we’re making federal holidays based on Presidents with good oral hygiene—pick JFK. That guy’s teeth were flawless. Like teeth-shaped pearls carefully inserted into slabs of perfectly pink bubble gum. Now that’s a smile.
Until next time,
Michael J. Erickson, CEO & Co-Founder
