9 Tax Day.
Why it should be a public holiday: Would spread out the inevitable rush of people trying to get their taxes in last minute… gives people time to go blow their refund (could turn into another Black Friday-type day)… could actually turn into a day people look forward to.
Why it should not be a public holiday: Not really an ideal day for businesses to grind to a halt… if it’s a public holiday, by definition, the post offices are supposed to close, and that wouldn’t work (the USPS doesn’t need any more trauma right now)… what if it leads to a small uptick in people jumping off bridges?
