Good morning!
Another pleasant Indian Summer day here in NEPA. It's cloudy, but the sun does break through sometimes. In another month, we'll be at our peak for Fall colors.
I'm up and moving, still drinking my coffee. ☕ ☕ ☕
No great plans for this Labor Day weekend. The weather's good, so I hope to be outdoors a lot.
When I was a kid, we'd be driving back to Chicago before school started (after Labor Day). Good memories! 🙂

I'm with John Winger here (Bill Murray in "Stripes"). 🙂 🇺🇸

I found Fordism!
If I had a dollar for every "ism" Ive dealt with... I think i remember doing a report on Ford in elementary school. ANYWAY. Did you know the #waybackmachine has books? I did not. It has a lot of good ones. I found "my life and work" by Henry Ford. I have been glued to it for days. Half way done, I am compelled to share this new source of #books . You can go to archive.org and simply click the books tab. You must make an account. They have it setup where you "borrow books" digitally. I […] -

CW: USPol, Labor Day
A reminder - International Workers' Day (AKA Labor Day) was on May 1st. It was designated as to commemorate a general strike of workers in the United States in 1886, which ended with the Haymarket riots / affair.
In the United States, we celebrate Labor Day in September. This is intentional.
There was a Labor Day celebrated in the US and Canada in September in the late 1800s. Then, the Second International (an international meeting of socialists, labor leaders, etc) in 1889 proposed International Workers Day as May 1st.
In the US, labor leaders did support switching over to the May 1st date. However, the fact that socialists were associated with the holiday was too much for politicians in the US. Including aggressive capitalist and groomer (look it up, he's a creep) President Grover Cleveland, who signed into law the September date.
We don't have a united labor holiday in the US that was based on an event associated with the labor movement in the US because of a Red Scare in the late 1800s.
Happy Labor Day weekend.
