GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna repeatedly tried to convince Speaker Mike Johnson that he — as a pro-family champion — should back her push to allow new mothers to vote remotely for six weeks while they are recovering from birth.
Here we go again. From conservative to liberal as soon as it has a personal impact.
What I’ve seen even in rather low-stakes situations - like everyday office jobs - is that some Karen gets all worked up about trying to “get everyone back to work”. As if all of us have NOT been working just because this particular person doesn’t get to SEE them at a desk. I have seen this kind of thing come and go in various forms ever since 2020, essentially.
I mean, I really do think a certain kind of person - and so far, in my experience, every single one was a conservative - is just driven nuts by the idea of remote work. Now, I’ve seen at least some of them think it is fine for themselves. But for others - everyone else is under a cloud of suspicion. This is something that occupies their mind even if they are not managers.
I just don’t get it. But I do know that a huge component of these people getting worked up about Covid is about OTHER people seemingly “getting away” with something by working remotely. It really seems to have just driven them even crazier.
some think everything not in person can be easily manipulated. they don’t trust the safeguards enough.
