Has anyone else noticed that procurement/supply chain people have gotten more aggressive in the past few years? I've had to deal with a string of mean ones since 2024. The one I'm currently dealing with reminds me of Lydia from Breaking Bad.

A U.S. appeals court has cleared the way for a Louisiana law requiring poster-sized displays of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms to take effect

Court clears way for Louisiana law requiring Ten Commandments in classrooms to take effect
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for a Louisiana law requiring displays of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms to take effect. The full court voted 12-6 to lift a block placed on the law that a lower court first issued in 2024. In the opinion released Friday, the court said it was too early to make a judgment call on the constitutionality of the law. But the six judges who voted against the decision wrote a series of dissents, some saying that the law exposes chil…

Here is wisdom. I learned this too late in life, and am still not sure I’ve learned it well:
❝Don’t feel like you need to fix everything. A common response to bearing witness to another’s trauma is to try and fix it. We don’t want others to suffer. That said, you may not be offering what the other person or group is clearly stating they need. If they need you to listen, and you choose to act but not listen, then you have both not supported them in their trauma and violated a boundary.❞

This marks a shift from Germany's January 2024 stance, when it backed Israel in the case. Berlin says its decision not to intervene stems from its own ICJ defense in a case accusing it of violating international law by supporting Israel's war in Gaza
