    Why? We’re not talking about who works harder or puts in more hours, we’re talking about productivity. Tools and efficiency increase productivity. One person with a forklift can do more work than 4 people without a forklift. A nations trade and infrastructure also have a factor. Again, America is probably the most efficient economy on the planet. The Chinese are big but nowhere as efficient.

    You missed the point. Qatar found oil and gas in the ground and that was enough. It has nothing to do with productivity or efficiency.

  5. That is one example.. I can list numerous other countries that have more holidays than us..... why everyone upset over one more bank holiday in late June when a lot of people start to go on vacation anyway...

    Columbus Day is a bullshit holiday, at least this one marks a major event in U.S. history like July 4th or Veteran's Day.

  6. Juneteenth this year: To celebrate freedom and the end of slavery.

    Juneteenth next year: To demand reparations because there is no freedom without my check.

    Biden wants reparations and wanted to have it as a midterm issue but I don't think he dares to go there now given all his other problems. He also has a problem now with American legal and loyal hispanics who are increasingly disgusted with all the giveaway shiite and caving into BLM and illegals and not giving them much attention. Oh, and the DNC just found out that they vote and are not necessarily owned by the Dem Plantation.

    I don’t know about finding oil equaling an easy go of things. If so, Venezuela and Nigeria would be rich.

  9. More cheap commercial stupidity designed to exploit the wokester market.



    Walmart’s Juneteenth ice cream leaves a bad aftertaste

    Walmart finally came to its senses.

    Last month, the retail giant had hell on its hands with the release of its “Celebration Edition: Juneteenth Ice Cream,” purportedly celebrating the “African-American culture, emancipation and enduring hope.”
