In Germany we say "Arbeitnehmerrechte" and I think that's beautiful (swg-empire.de)

Where I live our stores are closed on Sundays except those located in larger railstations and gas stations.

And right in the time where people should be with their families, in Advent, stores are allowed to open up on the four Advent Sundays and everyone goes fucking wild.

Now, the retail store lobby or whatever it is called here is rallying for stores to be allowed to open up 8 Sundays a year, because 'people want the convenience to be able to shop on a Sunday'. You know what? No. Fuck those people. Get your groceries on a Saturday or during the week and chill the fuck out on a Sunday.

It's insane to me how people apparently just can't go one day without getting something from a store.

I think it's beautiful to have one day in the week where (most) people just don't have to work at all. I really don't like how the hypercapitalism of the US just swaps over to Europe more and more.
