As someone who works 100% remote and even quit my previous job and took a pay cut in order to keep working from home, I have mixed feelings about these orders.
I have 5 kids, and when I worked in an office and had 10 hour days plus an hour and a half drive on each end, I never saw them.
I noticed huge improvements in my relationship with them during the mandatory work from home period during covid and vowed to never go back to how things were.
I actually get a lot more done and am less distracted working from my home office.
We of course want out public servants to not have multiple jobs and eliminate bad workers, but generally, there's got to be better ways of accomplishing those things with proper management instead of sweeping return to office mandates.
I respect Massie, at least his reasons for voting no are typically ideologically decent and he's not just some rhino. He's principled and if all of our representatives were like that we'd be in a lot less debt and trouble as a country
I always thought waiting until election day would be better, that way they get overwhelmed and can't cheat as easily.
If a large percentage vote early, they have an idea of how much they need to cheat and gives them more time to react.
I have always been a fan of the idea of government shutdowns. I am not sure why they never go through with it as if it is something to be avoided.
