Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is such a weird hobbyhorse of the right - getting everyone "back to work", meaning a very narrow definition of work that only includes being in-person.
It's like they are so enraged that donvict's stupid handling of Covid and the reality of Covid so obviously overriding all their silly belief systems about how things like science work, that they want to erase ALL of the effects of Covid, such as the tidal shift to remote work.
I used to get a commenter on Denver Post forums that would argue with me until he was blue in the face that Covid would have no long-term cultural impacts. He absolutely insisted on it, even as nearly everyone that could work from home, was 100% doing so....he claimed this would have no long term effect, and everyone should plan on "getting back to work" in a few weeks. He started this in 2020 and kept it up until DP shut off their comments.
I think he was especially incensed over WEF's use of the term "The Great Reset" and anything that had a whiff of "globalists" is something people like that are programmed to get triggered about. But anyway, when I look around, I still see long-term cultural impacts of Covid, even if some wingers hate the idea of the WEF.
