For biodiversity, for example, if the rate at which species disappear is less than 10 times the average extinction rate over the last 10 million years, that is deemed acceptable.

In reality, however, extinctions are occurring at least 100 times faster than this so-called background rate, and 10 times faster than the planetary boundary limit.

Will the miracle of life actually survive our self-induced extinction?

I would just do the cover crops along with some nitrogen fixers for several years.

PS – I would keep getting the lawn clippings and use them to mulch my plants.

Try this search engine for native plants in your zip code.

Try clover again for the fall and winter. You can sow clover seeds until late spring. If necessary, you can start back again in mid summer.

I don't wait for rain, but when I see there's going to be a few days of rain, I try to get some seeds out there before it rains. A few days of rain might give the seeds a good start, and then, you could mulch the seedlings to help them make it to the next rainfall. You could use a handheld tool to cut competing plants like grass and use them as mulch. If you can spend a little time every day or week, then you'll figure out what works.

With radical demands such as a 32-hour workweek

oh my gosh, go, go!

although the company has been successful, they haven’t paid the employees back for that.

This is why they deserve a raise and why we all deserve a raise. There's no reason to keep all the wealth at the top, but of course, saying so is blasphemy in America.
