Article: 18 May a public holiday

[Sonic2k]

Its not like they don't get any time off.. we're talking about just one little weekend here, not all 52 of them.

 

[Wall]

I have found that on public holidays the malls are chock-a-block full. This means people are consuming stuff. Stuff other people produce. But if they are unable to buy the stuff to consume, then the producers will have noone to produce for. All I am saying is that its a circle and if noone had any time off to buy things, what would you be producing for?

This, I work in a clothing retail business and I can assure you that 18th May is going to be a good day for us

I am sorry but I am with Garyvdh on this one. This kind of thread sorts the business owners/managers/directors from the rest who are just employees, some of which come across as quite reluctant to work I might add...

I like Bertrand Russell's take on laziness. All this thread has done is show that some business owners will always whine about public holidays. If it's such a big loss then go in and do the work yourself or pay some staff to work that day. Really I find it hard to believe any of the moaners claiming to be a business owner actually are if they cannot even make a plan to deal with an obstacle.

They make the voter registration on a weekend... they can surely run the election on a weekend. Simple as that! That's all I have to say, there's no further justification.

They could run the election over two to three weekends like they did voter registration. Probably have to be more because the registration was only for those who had not yet registered.

Notch 1 less days schooling in an already disrupted 2nd term. Do the government honestly even think about the impact of declaring a public holiday?

Oh come on, one additional day off school is not going to bring everything crashing down. We welcomed the break back when I was at school.
