I’m happy to have Labor Day twice but let’s remember why en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day

President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe.[18] In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative,[19] formally adopting the date as a United States federal holiday through a law he signed in 1894.[2]

US capitalists executed the leaders of the May 1 1886 strike for an 8 hr work day. In 1889 socialists declared May 1 Int'l Workers Day to honor them, creating a beloved holiday worldwide, but not in the US, where Labor Day was moved to September to erase workers' struggle from the public mind.

May Day Is Born News of the tragedy sent shockwaves through the labor movement worldwide. In 1889, socialists declared May 1 International Workers Day – or May Day – to commemorate the Haymarket martyrs and build international workers’ solidarity. Today, May Day is celebrated in over 80 countries, with mass rallies and a day off from work. But the holiday that was born in Chicago is not officially celebrated in the U.S. In 1894, Congress declared Labor Day a federal holiday, to be observed the first Monday in September. Although there was pressure to set the holiday on May 1, President Grover Cleveland – who wanted to distinguish Labor Day from Chicago’s workers’ uprising – refused. In the 1930s, many U.S. unions organized May Day celebrations, with millions of workers marching in parades in New York and other cities. In 2006, hundreds of thousands immigrant workers marked the holiday with protests against an anti-immigration bill. May Day, the international symbol of labor solidarity, lives!

A perfect example of what AI is really for: removing consent, removing the social safeguards that used to keep the worst ideas at bay, and doing racism at scale. theplaylist.net/paul-schrade...
