I noted you conveniently evaded the question below. Lets try again, give it a shot !

So these government employees are not going to deliver mail but they’ll get paid anyway? And you support this?

Yes, I support this; just as I support them getting off on Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving, etc. These are federally mandated holidays, just as this National Day of Mourning is.

Again, if you want it different, work to change it. Take away from the government the ability to designate these days - (I think in this case it’s the Executive Branch; and while YOU may think so, I’ve never thought of Trump or any president as a ‘Monarch’).

While you’re at it, abolish Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veterans’ Day...after all, idealogical purity demands that the mail must be delivered Every Day!)
