Last night two of my co-workers were arguing about higher-paying jobs in the environmental services being better, as the other was saying that is not always true. While I was studying and listening to the reasons it had me thinking. Arguer 1 was stating that for the work environmental service does for this one company is not worth the pay due to it being barely anything, also went on to explain how we are all on the front line and we should be receiving COVID pay. The one other important part arguer 1 went on about was how no teamwork and people are leaving for other jobs because they might get more respect and recognized for the work they do. Arguer 2 had stepped in by replying that is not always true, the reasons that were given were even though the company may pay more how much more is the workload? and all bosses, managers, and employees will tell you what you want to hear so they get the person in the door. Also, benefits may not be as good as the lower-paying and but it is not a big workload, thus a little stricter than usual.
What I came to conclude was both arguers made a lot of sense and very good points on the topic, but it is more up to the individual. This is because maybe some individuals like a strict and bigger workload to make time go by and enjoy a fast pace field. As others may like a slower pace and taking their time to get other work task done also, but that is a choice only the individual can make, no matter what though nothing is always better than the other because there is always a downfall for each company, but one big key is there is always going to be problems with teamwork and being recognized for the hard work. It is about how you can handle the situations and understand that work is a place to do the job the company pays the individuals for not making friends and finding fault, as easy as they can hire many is how fast they can let go of the employees who complain.

Within the editorial cartoon above, there are two main themes. One is the well documented and highly publicized "College Admissions Scandal" that exposed some of Hollywood's elite in a bribery scheme. The other is the hotly debated Electoral College policy that has been in effect since the 18th century (Kurtz). The artist's play on words combines two issues currently at the forefront of scrutiny with the looming election and the tarnished integrity of the college admissions process.
Actress Felicity Huffman was named as one of many individuals who used her prominent status to provide monetary bribes or doctored resumes for their children to receive acceptance into prestigious universities. In an article by "The Washington Free Beacon," the writer also correlates the accused with previous donations to the Democratic party, which ties into the editorial cartoon (Smits).
The integrity of the Electoral College is highly debated among the Republican and Democratic parties. This is especially true when cases arise, such as in the 2000 and 2016 presidential election. During these years, the Democratic nominee's Al Gore and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but lost the overall race due to the collective electoral votes (Kurtz).
Through humor, this cartoon highlights some glaring deficiencies of a process that has cost hard-working students an opportunity to further their education at the desired university, while also reigniting political strife during an election year.
