All of the individual things people say they would give up are under a majority.

Note that this is one third. And there are people who live close enough to their workplace that it wouldn’t add much burden.

The toxic culture is coming from the outside. They have no reason to trust you, because dozens of corporations institute wellness programs and talk about caring while still punishing people who take time off. Plus, some of them have just internalized the idea that they should just work through it.

One thing I have heard can help is if the boss takes time off, so since you have some authority, maybe make a point of taking your own time off and telling them when you do?

I do not understand how you could think he’s unwilling to let the department prosecute Trump when Trump already has two federal indictments against him. Yeah, his job is to direct the department. It’s not to interfere in individual cases, whether for or against.

That article just seems to be looking for reasons to be mad. Investigations take time. And the repeated mentions of “The T word” are silly. Treason (which the article you linked never actually states, weirdly, when that has to be the word) is explicitly defined in the US Constitution. Other convictions would be just as devastating to Trump and show what he did without having to have a Supreme Court case about whether he was technically levying war.

I mean, maybe, but when you are in fear for your life, you may not be able to make that rational calculation.

In Germany? I was under the impression that Germany had much better public transport than we have in the States.

I live in Wisconsin, in the United States.

I mean, if you live in a flat without your own parking space, I’d expect you’re taking public transportation most of the time. If you don’t own a car in the first place, there’s no need to convert you in the first place, at least if you have no reason to need a car.

Participation in an insurrection is disqualifying under the US Constitution, so it very much is not a states’ rights issue. The question is what standard of evidence is required.
