I just say ‘sorry, it’s been a long day, I’m socially exhausted, see y’all tomorrow morning.’ And it 100% shows on my face.

But that works because it’s an engineering team and introversion is fine and understood. We've definitely had feedback from some engineers that a full 8 hours of group work, and then dinner, and some social event after that is too much. Managers have learned since to just cut some meetings and make the social events part of the normal work hours.

This probably doesn’t work as well for the departments full of people who like to talk a lot.

Farmers plead ‘stop our fields flooding’ as Trump opens dams

Reply in thread

The dams are entirely the responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineers, and the US President is the commander-in-chief.

The only ways for this to not happen is for the President to have their mind changed, or the President is removed from office, or, the order is refused enough (at cost of being fired/court-martialed) that nobody will carry them out.

The great powers of the US Presidency is meant to expedite government action. We are currently far from the scenario where Congress, by the will of the US voters, will remove the current President.
