the UK economy is already in a recession.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Analysts are warning that the few extra days off for all the queen stuff this year could tip UK's economy into another recession. That doesn't seem like a sign of a very resilient economy.
I'm sure I'll hear more about "why did they ever get rid of Boris" from conservatives.

I mean in response to the assertion that a few extra days off would crash UK. I also see this kind of argument also employed against expanding vacation time in the states. If someone doesn't think an economy can withstand paying people a little more or giving them some extra time off, then they're not speaking very confidently of that economy.uziq wrote:

i see. yes, the UK economy is resilient enough to accept a bank holiday (although of course they take measurable productive hours out of the annual gross).unnamednewbie13 wrote:
