Labor Day

The state propounds, through legislation of course, this idea of Labor Day;

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

I prefer to think of Labor Day, and labor in general, more along the lines which Paul Greenberg expresses;

On this Labor Day, a great deal will be said in the usual press releases, but none of it will be more eloquent than work done well. To me, two new soles on a pair of well-shined shoes still say more than all the Labor Day speeches ever written.

Paul Greenberg’s piece on Labor Day is titled The labor theory of value
