Well, yes the USA has its own Labor day, but I didn't think there was an International Labor day. That's what I was ignorant of.

Yeah in the 18th century, two inventions suggested a method of measurement. One won and the other stayed in America.

Finns are dope, they know the covid is a scam.
Quote: There are no unions in the USA, so I hadn’t even heard about this holiday until this thread. Weird how that works, huh?
This day is celebrated in honor of the 7 chicago martyrs, US workers that were hanged by the State for demanding 8 hour work day (today world standard, at least on paper)
USA of course tried to bury this.

In our case it was communist celebration (as physical workers were favored over intelectual workers in this system), that simply stayed.
Fun thing is that we kinda have something like a "Golden Week" here, because 3rd of May is Constitution Day so people usually take a few days off and have something like a whole week of holidays (best combo is ofc when 1st is Tuesday and 3rd is Thursday so you only need to take 3 days off to have a full free week). So people like to turn it into mini-holiday, although this year it's not only Corona but also it takes place on weekend.
Regarding Finns and Corona hmm, I don't know what Ghost stance is on it, but from our co-workers we got the impression they're pretty serious about it. You gotta take into account that outside of Helsinki and a few bigger city units, the country is pretty scarecely populated. Plus Finns are used to spending their time on air like forest trekking etc.

Corona is a evil. We will soon reach the Chinese level. Finland can't think so. I and friend drank at my home. Pub is closed at 17.00, etc Police said party is quite peace.
@blob2
Today I bought a new Tutti Frutti Sunny Fruits 325g 2,45€. Cheap and sweet.

The flavor, while being most disgusting, reminds me of childhood.

Are you sure we are talking about the same sweets? Hmm, Fazer is known outside Finland so maybe they were available in Greece?
@Ghost
I also like Fazer's "Nordic Berries" mix.
Btw there's another well known Fazer product here in PL which was available since my childhood - Dumle.
