For me, there would be public holidays that celebrate social, cultural and scientific achievements.
A day of printing, the decoding of the human genome,... you know - real achievements, not only stories of some ancient folks being tortured to death and such.
And voting? Always felt November 4th should be a paid holiday.
Awesome idea, btw.
Is that a voting day in some country?
No, not really I suppose. I meant to say “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November“, but, well… I didn’t do it right.
“The Tuesday next after the first Monday in November” is the US’s Election Day.
