This is my experience as well. I don’t give an sh about football, but when I had to go into the office, I’d invariably find myself surrounded by people sitting at or on my desk talking about “the game” for an hour each day (at least), which would roll directly into meetings where I had to explain why the status hadn’t changed on tasks.
Now that I’m working from home, the only thing interfering with status changes are the status meetings themselves.
Fun fact, it wasn’t really until the 2020 election that republicans started to see what was really going on. Prior to 2020, “election fraud”, “rigged election,” etc. was the sole domain of the democrats. See: the HBO documentaries that came out in 2006 and 2019 detailing how easy it is to rig an election (using, for example, dominion’s garbage software).
Moreover, 63% of counties around the world have banned mail-in voting, due to rampant fraud (mail-in voting is the most insecure way to vote), and another 25% of counties are working to ban it. While that is happening, the U.S. is mysteriously expanding mail-in voting, and loosening election rules in those areas (blue) that also happen to be highly corrupt and poorly managed.
Recent example: Amazon, while in union negotiations, banned mail-in voting for the union vote, since it is so easy to rig. Meanwhile, WaPo, while reporting that it was easy to rig mail-in union votes, would then turn the page to deride anyone who dared suggest the 2020 election was rigged despite anonymous results occurring only in those areas where mail-in voting laws were loosened and/or outright ignored (in those cases where it benefited the blue result).
So many coincidences. Too many to list here.
