With news of a possible billionaire tax and taxes on unrealized capital gains it seems all the people want to come to defend billionaires. It seems they are more upset at the rich paying taxes rather than being furious at how exploitative you have to be to become a billionaire. It would take over 2700 years of spending 1k a day before they run out of money, I think they'll be okay.

I’m a straight white guy and understand that we are bottom of the pile in the world at this time.

I'm a manager at my job, but even still I feel obligated to have a “valid” reason for requesting the day off on the same morning. My boss won't care either way, but he may ask questions and I'd like a fool-proof excuse that will not get questioned and will simply be responded with an “okay”. I hope I'm providing enough information for some suggestions. Pretty much I need the day off, and I want to use PTO on the morning of. I've known for well over a month about needing this day off but I for some reason didn't request it off ahead of time, so was thinking of calling in sick or something. The thing is, we're slammed at work right now and I work remotely on the day I need off. There's probably gotta be a good reason for me to not be able to work from…
