You're not in a service industry either.
As was noted earlier, no one is making you close your doors on federal holidays. In fact, rarely do I see service industry employees enjoy those holidays because their employers aren't required to be closed AND pay them - so they stay open.
Watching you act like one day every four years is going to cause your business or supply chain to collapse speaks more about the fragility of your business than it does about anything else.
I can’t speak for Hog only myself , I can assure you that I don’t speak to all those important people in all those countries like you do in your multinational company that ( we would know ) . I can also assure you of one thing mid level manager , if you see a semi with a loaded trailer being made to sit out travel time for some federal holiday , they are not doing it because they want to , or so they could go vote . They are actually losing money . Again that’s cute and I’m glad it works for all those other countries, it’s not broken here so why do we want to add yet more restrictions to people so others can sit at home ? I’ll say it again and try not to sound like a baby this time ..restricting me for two full days so less than half the population can go vote is stupid and illogical from a business stand point .
But Septic loves to get on his high horse.
Since when are elections only once every 4 years? And the rest of your post is just typical septic bullshot.
That's rich, you're crying about voluntarily letting your employees off to vote for the Presidency, once - every four years.
If that causes you even a modicum of consternation about how your business will survive, you're doing business wrong. Don't try to hide behind the excuse of "iTz gOvErNmENtaL wAsTe!", it rings hollow - not even you can be that cheap.
How often do you vote in a general election? That's what we're talking about. As usual, you try to deflect when you get called out for having a moronic take.
Like I said, if letting your ee's off to vote in a general election is going to cause your business to suffer catastrophic failure- maybe you should think about a career change.
I'm not crying about sh^t. I oppose the federal government establishing a federal holiday for election day, I oppose the federal government establishing any more federal holidays. If you want to give your employees a paid holiday on election day, do it and quit whining.
The reality of it is only a few private companies will offer a paid holiday so it will be just the 12th paid holiday for government employees. Yay fiscal responsibility.
To be fair, hog88 has a valid point but I talked about it in my original post that started this discussion. Another point that I was cited but has been blown over was lining up the Federal positions on a lower number of days to reduce the # of elections.
For example, have Senators on 4 years or move to 8 year terms so their elections align with Presidential Election to limit and extend Congressional terms to 4 years. (I do think 2 years, especially in our world today, is too short).
Special Attorney Hired by Fani Willis To Help Prosecute Trump Donated big bucks to her campaign
An expert Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis retained to help prosecute former President Trump donated $4,300 to her campaign for public office, records show.
John Floyd, a prominent Atlanta attorney and partner at Bondurant Mixson & Elmore, was retained by Willis in 2021 to help her prosecute the former president. Floyd is one of the leading experts in Georgia’s intricate and complex racketeering statutes at play in the sweeping case against the former president.
According to public records, Floyd donated to Willis’ campaign for district attorney twice — $2,800 on March 20, and $1,500 on June 25, 2020, for a total of $4,300.

"Floyd is a well-known and well-respected litigator and RICO expert, and others from his law firm also donated to Willis' campaign. Besides, there’s no way that any of them could have known in the spring and summer of 2020 that a Trump RICO case even would exist," Shu added.
