People were complaining about the cost of a new paid holiday. Have the holiday be only for black Americans. If you’re any part African American you get the day off w/ pay or time and a half if you work. Why should everybody get the payoff? Now THAT’S fair!

Just like the movie help it takes a white man to help the blackpeople. Why didn't BarackObama POTUS44 do this for his people? Think about it. Who is trying to buy votes for their party?

U.S. and his allies, who supported the Israeli occupation of Palestine, also conspired and should be blamed for all the atrocities.

mine gave us a 'floating holiday' that we can use anytime before the end of the year, kind of like an extra 8 hours of pto. we can choose when and how to use it.

Juneteenth, Now a Federal Holiday, Puts Companies to Work on a ResponseWhen President Biden signed legislation making June 19, or Juneteenth, a new national holiday, employers rushed to decide whether and how to give paid time off for the first new federal holiday in nearly four decades No word yet on USPS paying employees extra for working today So which is it? June 19th or June 10th? “Employers rushed” 😂😂😂 give me a break. The most that was likely done was send out a dumb email to their employees. Man you really are a shitty publication.
