In reply to the discussion: CNN: President Biden will stop holding events after 8 PM [View all]Freethinker65
(11,202 posts)You want an interview or a meet and greet? Schedule most before 8.
Biden's schedules are posted. SCHEDULED meeting/events shouldn't have to begin before a certain time or after a certain time when they can occur during normal daytime hours. This doesn't mean Biden isn't available 24/7 for an emergency, or won't be seen out and about after 8 pm. It means he was probably working his day job, as President, while fundraising and glad handling, traveling to and from events most evenings.
Trump had lots of personal/executive time scheduled in during his DAYS! Trump also took lots of long weekends (weekday vacation days) at his Clubs to relax (and yes playing golf with a cart is relaxing to many). These off times were during typical working weekdays and hours and while at the time was chalked up to grifting and/or being lazy...might have been to reduce physical or mental fatigue. Presidenting is hard work.
I work part time in a mindless retail job. I learned from coworkers that clopens (working a closing shift followed by an opening shift) is not sustainable. When you factor in commute times for many coworkers (including many in their 20s) I don't know how they can do clopens even occasionally. When I ask, truth is they don't do nearly as well as when rested. They are highly caffeinated and most quit within a year if scheduling nightmares become routine.
