  • I agree with the concern, but for different reason. This sets the standard for future presidencies. Imagine if Trump starts proactively pardoning people who might be political targets in the future. It removes the concern that your current actions might be determined to be in detriment in future considerations. Doesn’t matter anymore, because as long as you do what the current president wants, he/she/they will simply provide you a future pardon to protect you from the consequences of your actions!

    While I don’t think Fauci did anything wrong or should be targeted, this is overall a very bad precedent to set.

    Edit: I misread that last part, sorry. I do, however, think that this concern goes beyond Trump’s presidency.





  • 15 minutes is just reactionary spitballing to exaggerate.

    Most of my previous “office work” was primarily back end development, and the approach tended to be hands off from my supervisor. So long as work was getting done in a timely fashion, my hours and daily schedule was up to me. I much preferred that approach as opposed to rigid hours and direct management. I suppose different strokes here.
