Even the post office works on Saturdays.

So if you want to complain about a holiday to celebrate the end to slavery in the USA, and categorize it as another "specialty" paid day off, how about we just eliminate christmas, good friday, easter sunday, ALL sundays. Force people to work rotating schedules so everyone is stuck working on a sunday, all government offices open 7 days a week.

We could go that route if you really want to. I've been against mandatory christmas closings for decades.

Good Friday not paid federal holiday. Unless you work for federal government you probably don’t get most those day off let alone paid for it.
