1 year agoBack in the day of time cards, that was more or less how it worked (minus the commute part) the machine was either at the front door or in the break room, and you’d punch in, then go to your station, set up and start. End of day, you’d pack up, then punch out on your way out the door.
‘At war’ is not the same as defending yourself from an invasion, which the US has not had to do since it has existed in it’s current form. Also, governments have suspended elections in the past when necessary. For instance, the UK suspended elections during WW2 via the ‘Prolongation of parliament’ bill, while they were defending themselves from a German invasion.
