Today is a late Labor day as you all know, the holiday for the American labor force celebrated since the late 1800's on the 1st Monday of September.Chicago played a major part in the creation of Labor Day. On May 4th, 1886, eight police officers and an unknown number of civilians were killed in a labor riot known as the Haymarket Affair. While that horrible day played a part in May Day celebrations thereafter, it also influenced President Grover Cleveland to bypass May as a date for Labor Day to avoid stirring up negative emotions.
For all those who don't have to work today or cannot please enjoy the day off and enjoy whatever it is you choose to do to celebrate, for those that do have to work today, I'm both sorry and thankful.
And for all those lazy folks that simply want handouts and just don't want to work, click , here or here and get a freaking job!
