Have you ever heard the phrase, "With great power comes great responsibility"? Yes, it's from some dumb capeshit, but it's true. If you want to be elected into a position of such power, then you're voluntarily signing up for the responsibility, including the responsibility to keep shit like this from happening when you go on vacation.
Vacation is vacation. They have a right to a vacation just like I do. The system should have safeguards in place. I don’t want the elected to have a burnout, just in the same way that I don’t want to have a burnout.
Right there should be, but there isn't, so until there is they need to have someone from their office on the spot to field important stuff like this.
