So what's going to happen to Labor Day?
Is that holiday going to go extinct in our lifetime?

1. No, it will be repurposed
To celebrate the moment of birth where conservatives stop caring about your rights as a human being.

11. Why no day off? Exxon loves labor day.
A chance to jack up prices for a big travel weekend.

Engineers union and we would go to Asbury Park on Labor Day. Very festive and sincere. A real brotherhood and a lot of fun. These guys had worked together in various jobs throughout the years and it was like a huge reunion. I remember those days fondly.

6. If the Koch brothers have their way, it will be Slave Labor Day.
Just an extra word. No big deal.

12. Corporate Personhood Birthday?
That gets my vote. Perhaps Wal*Mart can have a sale on cheap crap from China to celebrate.
