- dominotw 10y agoWouldn't that deny income to people who need it the most? Chance to make extra (premium) income on the weekends.
- kr7 10y agoI hope nobody gets sick that day... (Or we could just have multi-day early voting. Like most states already do).
- blakeyrat 10y agoHow could you possibly have a work-free day? Who'd drive the bus taking voters to the polling place? Who'd be manning the emergency room at the local hospital, or driving the ambulances, or enforcing the law, or keeping the power plant running, or spotting for forest fires, or... I love the concept of a "work-free day", but I'm guessing that something like 5-10% of the workforce is doing infrastructure stuff that needs, absolutely needs, to happen every day simply to keep society functioning.
- jessaustin 10y agoI love the concept of a "work-free day"... I thought I loved this concept, then I worked in Wellington NZ for a few months, and discovered the only time I could possibly grocery shop was on my lunch break. (In fairness, this was over a decade ago, so things might have changed?)
- justinlardinois 10y agoExcept the companies that employ that one third of workers who work on weekends.
