In modern political analysis, people do one day of giving their opinions on an issue and two weeks outraged over the opinions of their opponents in order to prove their own superiority. Rinse and repeat.

A foolish person believes that law enforcement can effectively keep the public safe. This guy called the police and the Marshalls, and it took days to get anyone to care. It was the threat of calling Fox News that changed their tune. https://fox59.com/news/national-world/how-an-evansville-car-wash-manager-helped-police-find-alabama-fugitives/?fbclid=IwAR1sqZjUM7JnNxPO4x12LJX8c8b7wsquP6keQNj5b7mI5MiLPUlbUnMa708

The first four months of the pandemic have to be a big cause, along with the realization that you're more loyal to your company. Why kill yourself with stress, literally, for people who don't love you back at the expense of those who love you?

"50% of workers in the U.S. would prefer access to unlimited PTO to earning a higher salary, according to a new survey of 2,000 workers by the Harris Poll for Fortune. It’s a benefit only about 9% of workers currently enjoy."
