- Blackthorn 3y agoElection Day holiday wouldn't change that. Poor people work on holidays. Making election day a holiday would change little. Longer voting periods, absentee ballots for everyone like in COVID, these are things that would help.

- jacobyoder 3y agoI never got 'overtime' when working on holidays during all my time in food service.
- hn8305823 3y agoA flaw in this theory is that poor people who have jobs often times still have to go to work on federal holidays because of where they work - retail and service jobs for example.

- jstarfish 3y agoThat was so shitty it's unbelievable. The law prohibits "gifts" and giving items out for free. Republicans hate free shit and are all about commerce though. Selling the same items for $0.01 a pop does not appear to be illegal. Set up a "ghost kitchen" out of a car parked around the corner and pretend you're a DoorDasher.
