Labor day is a whole cloth creation made up by American Capitalists to separate the labor struggle in America from the labor struggle everywhere else. An effort to stymie solidarity between American workers and workers around the world.
We have Labor Day. The rest of the world has International Workers Day or May Day as it's sometimes called. May Day is May 1st.
What's even more wild is that May Day was chosen to commerate the Haymarket Massacre in America after Americans had a real General Strike in 1886 and were executed, beaten, and jailed for it by the capitalist class.

Important to note, Shawn Fain of the UAW is organizing a General Strike on May Day of 2028. Start saving now, prepare, and be ready to participate and support your neighbors, your colleagues, and your self.
It drives me crazy that it has somehow become a patriotic flag-waving holiday
Belgium has a Labor day as well. "Dag van de arbeid"
Careful, buddy, that immigrant wants to steal your cookie!

Why do CEOs make so much money when they are the least talented and do the least work? No CEO should make more than $80,000 a year and zero bonus unless they actually pull their weight.

(Completely ignores all the failures, golden parachutes, and immediate layoffs from their incompetence.)
Buh buh regulation on American, patriotic and God fearing big billionaire businesses is kammunisummm
Their freedom to fuck me over is their right gosh darnit. Plus faux news said that if I give them free reign they'll help muh economy and their money will trickle down to me eventually..... And then I'll be a billionaire just like them!

Well, when you have to be "worth" a million dollars just to own a home..... yeah soon most homeowners WILL be "millionaires".
Doesn't matter much when we have hundred-billionaires.
