I’m for any holiday where a company will actually add it instead of shifting others. You aren’t that woke if you take away Good Friday to give some juneteenth off.

I don’t know what it is but I’ll take the day off as long as they’re actually adding it.

I would take the Reagan years over what we have now.

Of course. That wasn't the context of his post

Bill to make Juneteenth legal holiday in Tennessee advances

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A bill to make Juneteenth a legal holiday in Tennessee is one step closer to becoming law after clearing a Senate committee Tuesday.

Senate Bill 269 by Senate Leader Jack Johnson (R—Franklin) would add Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19 each year, as another legal holiday in the Volunteer State. Currently, Juneteenth is recognized as a special observance, which means state employees are still required to work on that day. Making Juneteenth a legal holiday would grant the day as a paid day off, like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day or Christmas Day.
