Reply to comment by Lil_Brown_Bat in Why did Sunday pay go away? by A_Man_Who_Writes

Yea why was Sunday special? Historically because we cared about the Christian day or rest but not the Jewish one. That’s kinda fucked in a “progressive” state that pretends to have a separation of church and state.

MA has a long history of laws and regulations based in Christianity. What you and I interpret today as "progressive" wasn't always the case. Once upon a time, time and a half on Sundays was progressive.

In reality, where retail is these days, it would just mean higher prices. It is easy to put this in a us vs. them rant, but it is really us vs. us.
