Wisconsin is the only state in the Union that does not close its offices on 11 November.
The excuse reason given has been that the Badger State traditionally favors local observances tied to Armistice Day rather than shifting fully when federal naming conventions changed. Schools may remain open at their discretion, and state employees get a floating holiday to use when they see fit. While lawmakers have tried multiple times to make 11 November a state holiday—joining the other 49 states—concerns over the cost of an extra paid day off for state staff have repeatedly stalled or blocked the proposals.
If they’re giving state employees an annual floater, how would fixing the holiday on a weekday cost any more?
Anyone familiar with the state of Wisconsin knows that the People’s Republic of Dane County, where the capital, Madison, is, knows that more than likely, the ever-so-progressives who run our state don’t want to have to recognize those who defend them.
When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.
Kohima Epitaph
It seems that the people who most loudly proclaim their love of diversity are the most close-minded.
There's a term in psychology called 'compensation'...
"In psychology, compensation is a strategy for coping with a perceived weakness or inadequacy by developing strengths or seeking success in another area. It can be adaptive, helping someone overcome a difficulty, or maladaptive when it reinforces feelings of inferiority."
