Not really, such friends. MOST studies show that even tho it generated profits the costs and losses (especially associated with the entire economy stopping with the days off) all things considered, it ended up costing them approximately 2 billion USD (estimates, of course).
Some like to claim it was profitable, but these statistics completely ignore how much the economy lost by giving everybody a day off.
Not that I care, that's not the point for me at all, just bursting your bubble a little bit.
