Exactly right. To do that job calls for 75-90 hour work weeks. I get it that institutional memory is important, but it’s irrelevant if you don’t have the energy to apply it

It's the GoAlong to Get Along mentality that has to change. "Working across the Aisle" doesn't work when only one side does it.
The idea that "we go high when they go low" is not relevant when the other side doesn't give a crap about the moral high ground.

The Onion saves democracy is not a thing that was on my bingo card back in the 90's when I was reading what was then a small campus rag satire newspaper between classes.

Yep tried calling several times yesterday the line just drops.. must mean that they are taking a lot of heat. Turn up the dial.. How about a National sick day for non essential workers. Keep Boycotting. Find your group.
