In my country the government recently abolished a holiday in order to get more money to fund more military so they could fight Russia.

It was a huge success. Workers have been extatic about getting to work a day more instead of relaxing. The popularity of the government has skyrocketed ever since.

Yes we did. People were dancing in the streets and celebrating when they got the news that they would get to spend more of their old age at work and less of it with their grandchildren.
