In thirty years .gov will be permanently closed because every work day will be a federal holiday.

I know you are using hyperbole to make a point. However, I do think in reality there will be 8 additional federal holidays created in the next 4 years:

1. Mexican heritage day of some sort (Cinco De Mayo perhaps?)
2. A general Hispanic day because many Hispanics will not like a Mexican holiday only.
3. Indigenous peoples day (too much heat to eliminate Columbus Day altogether, so new day)
4. Japanese Americans day - (to atone for the internment in camps and the atomic bombs dropped on Japan).
5. Asian Americans Day - could come before the Japanese one, but I don’t think so.
6. LGBTQ+ Day - (will be too much of a catch all and homosexual men and women will want their own special one)
7. To tighten the focus the Stonewall date will serve as Homosexuals day in addition to the LGBTQ+ Day above
8. Earth Day will become an official Federal holiday to focus on Climate Change - will be a somber one like Memorial Day is supposed to be.

Other changes:

1. Christmas becomes Religious Observance Day to recognize all world religions. Possible date change to the 20th or some such crap.
2. Presidents Day becomes general Government office holder recognition day, recognizing the incredible importance of elected officials, and government workers from the federal to the local levels.
3. July 4th becomes “World Citizen Celebration” day. Recognizing the importance of everyone coming together for the common good.

Probably more, but I am out of time.
