I think this is the reason they want to drag this out.  Terrify us and get more attrition.[/quote]

A week into this Trump/Johnson shutdown, I realize that I did not realize how exhausted I am. Mentally. Physically. Not looking for sympathy. 
[b]Truly saddened by the assault on our democratic system of governance, imperfect as it is, and the enormity of the resulting harm.[/b] [/quote]

I am too. I am angry at the left because their extreme policies have led the country to vote for Trump.

This is what happens when the left took the country too far left, [b]where merely referring to another person by the wrong pronoun would be treated as a violent assault. [/b]

But that never happened. It's like being angry at your spouse because you dreamed about them cheating - it's entirely in your head. [/quote]

That isn't entirely true.  There was a push for compelled speech that started in 2020 with BLM and was being further extended with the expectation of using correct pronouns

That link is way off topic. But here's an anecdote: I am a woo-woo lefty with family members who use non-standard pronouns and I have never put my pronouns in my email signature. Not once, not with any employer. My agency issued a standard template with space for that, and I simply removed the line for pronouns. No one said a thing. I have been promoted a couple times since then. It's fine.

Imagine throwing a complete tantrum over "forced speech" instead of simply not doing the thing you didn't want to do.[/quote]

Ditto by god son is he/they. I never changed my signature line. My work did not care or say anything. But now if I were to put pronouns in my signature line I would be fired.

It's the old game of blaming them for what you do .[/quote]
