It's a classic cycle. Because some have gay leanings they see everything homosexual as a sinful temptation and assume it's the same for everyone else. The people must be protected against that perceived temptation so it must be forbidden. Meanwhile they fight against their own nature and succumb sometimes, which makes them repeat the cycle.

But now you can't finish those reports because you have to pick up the kid and traffic is hell these days.
If they wanted more background noise during the calls with other teams they could've just asked: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/openOfficeNoiseGenerator.php
Like if you're writing an essay on paper. You have your desk covered with a reference book or two, your draft version, working version, assignment, additional clarifications and notes, ... It would be such a hassle to put it all in one neat stack and search for whatever you need every time.
So programmers like to have the programming manual, design, notes, remarks from the customer, ... spread out over the screen(s) instead of switching back and forth every time.
"No, I can't drive and read the map at the same time. You have to read the map, unless you drive and I navigate. No? Thought so."
Every trip.
No, they don't. We had Brexit. It was a smörgåsbord of stupid like that.
"We want freedom of movement cancelled so EU folks can't come in here, "followed by "What do you mean we don't have freedom of movement and can't just live in Spain?"
"All immigrants gone!" followed by "why are there no cheap immigrants anymore for working in the field and drive trucks?"
"Close the borders!" and "Why is there suddenly this long line and why do we need custom checks and passports?"
"After we made it more difficult for foreigners to come here, we have less tourists. Somebody do something!"
"When we said you can't fish here, we meant we can still fish over there."
"Yeah, I know we cancelled all cooperation but we really would like the subsidies to continue."
You can keep going. There were enough predictions that this was exactly what would happen, it was ignored in emotional flurry, ideologies and name calling. Of course there is a lot of "why didn't anyone warn us?" afterwards. I conclude they're not really thinking, just mostly reacting emotionally and going along with the peer group who has a very high "F U I got mine" content.
In Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson) it makes fun of this, with the company complaining that paper money is clogging the toilets as people use this because it's a lot cheaper than toilet paper because of extreme inflation.
I don't recall what movie, but it did really bad at the box office and of course they blamed piracy. Until somebody got a hold of the statistics and showed it was one of the least pirated movie releases ever.
From my quick search, taxes come up to 4 billion.
Regular maintenance is 3 billion. Special projects for big repairs or new roads was 19 billion. But that also included some water infrastructure.
I use a cover anyway because cracked glass isn't the look I go for, and use that cover to hold my cards. A millimeter less is something I won't notice.
They even sell extra durable phones with extra padding.
Ukraine: will they actually nuke when I send a drone? No.
Multiple drones on Moscow? Still no.
Blow up a bridge? Nope.
Maybe a boat? Silence.
The hippo principle, HIghest Paid Person's Opinion. Musk is a nice example for this, making changes that have to be turned back the next day all the time.
