If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day Weekend.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Labor Day is seen as a day of rest for many hardworking Americans.
Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it's even begun.
I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I've stopped work and said, 'Thank God it's Friday.' But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.
What I wonder is what would happen in California, say, if all the Mexicans left from one day to the next?
My weekends start at about 4 P.M. on Friday afternoon, when I let go of work and leave my colleagues to crawl through the rest of the day in our New York offices.
If I go racing tomorrow and I have five rides that all get beaten, all I want to do is get out there the next day and put it right. I hate having Sundays off; I hate having any day off.
The way things are going, we are not too far from the day when it will take an hour's labor just to pay for the gasoline to get to the job.
There will be time enough some day to work less.
For most Americans, Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington, it's where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week.
The biggest labor problem is tomorrow.
