Hence why I didn't make a big thing of it beforehand or afterwards. But it would still affect the economy. A drop of 1% would be sufficient. |

I still disagree. The creation of a public holiday will open up a new market for manufacturers to create merchendise, increasing economic output. This will offset at least half the economic cost of having a holiday, meaning that the overall drop will be <0.5% therefore non-existant.

That's America. It doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. And this holiday doesn't seem to be created for commercial reasons. Furthermore I don't see thousands of people sending cards and boxes of chocolate to there loved ones saying "happy constitution day" |

A holiday does not need to be created for commercial reasons for it to be a commercial success. Also, while people may not be sending cards and chocolates, they may buy flags, decorations etc. I can also see it being a boom for local tourism, with people flocking to beaches or famous attractions on their day off, generating income when they get there. |

May I take this oppurtunity to point out that this has nothing to do with the Boo Party and poisonings. |
