They forced him to stay home? How?

Brings to mind this…
The first and most crucial step when you find yourself in a hole—whether literal, financial, or emotional—is to
stop digging. This means immediately halting the behaviors, decisions, or actions that are making the situation worse. Once you stop, take a breath, pause, and assess your situation

Why stop digging? When you can scream

Okay, seems you are still having trouble.
Personally no, I am not excluded; but my original point and what I had replied to you again was that we are all excluded because the federal and state holiday system is unfair to all of us and does not allow freedom.
As, supposedly the usa is the land of the free; we should scrap all federal and state holidays and then we we have freedom to use our personal time as we wished.
Sorry, I was actually a houston young republican for years and have been all over texas and all the way to minnesota working for changes I believed in.

Exactly, it is not complicated; no, I have not been forced to go to church on a particular day. I have freedom there.
We all do not have freedom on federal and state holidays, celebrate or observe those as you wish; but those days are your only choice. If you had a holiday otherwise you would like to observe; it will be on your personal time. So, we need to eliminate them; so all of us can celebrate or observe anything we wish on our time and not time decreed to us by our govt. I keep figuring that the american freedom theme will kick in somewhere in this thread; still eludes.
I’ll slightly rephrase my question then. How is the existence of MLK Jr Day and Juneteenth as holidays make it unfair to you, specifically?
You keep trying to speak for others and concern troll about freedom which has all been debunked throughout this thread but when directly asked how these specific holidays, one of which you actually introduced to the discussion, and how they supposedly negatively impact you, you dissemble and gaslight with obfuscations and taking out both sides of your mouth. You’ve gone from these holidays exclude you to you don’t feel excluded to now saying we’re all excluded in some way. It’s an utterly stupid and asinine position to take and you’re only making it because you didn’t think you’d get called out for trying to deride Juneteenth in a thread with Real Texans who know better and can see the attack for what it is and now you are grasping at anything with slightly better optics.
As has been suggested to you earlier. Put down the shovel.
Clearly not.
We already have the freedom to use our personal time as we wish.
And you have the freedom to choose to observe it or not. Also the freedom to choose how we observe it.
We already have this. The Government doesn’t decide what I celebrate or observe, when I celebrate or observe, or how I celebrate or observe.
As a non-Christian, I’ve always felt like a fraud taking Good Friday off.
I’m going to do something about it. I’m taking a stand.
Who’s with me? Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Pastafarians, let’s unite and let’s all GET BACK TO WORK!!!
I don’t think I’ve worked anywhere ever that gave Good Friday off.

Interesting. Every company I’ve ever worked for (all four of them, including my own) has given Good Friday off. Good Christian companies. 
I’ve never had President’s Day off though. Or any of the “bankers” holidays, the ones that only banks and garbage men get off.

I guess I’ve never worked at a company that has a religion.
To be fair I’ve always regarded any company that extolls it’s faith or that they’re “like a family” as a being a huge red flag of getting on up out of there

Yea how dare they.
I think it’s more of finding those companies disingenuous. Though I could be wrong.
How? Because they gave an employee a paid hioliday?
That’s why. Doesn’t matter if they gave a particular holiday or not.
The thing is at least with the “were a family” type of companies, they quite often only treat you that way at their convenience… so when it comes time to lay people off … the treating you like family goes out the window.
Now I haven’t experienced that myself but I know a lot of people who had, and that’s what I believe was behind Mr Socko’s statement.
Sounds like a bunch of bs hater stuff if you ask me
