I respect the remote grind but that does NOT look good in public office
This article reads like a blind item in a gossip column; I hate it.
The blank pages span all the way back to January 2020, which was the last time Cameron was registered using his key fob to enter the building.
Well, gee, what did happen in January 2020? Maybe the man has good reason to need to avoid people during a global pandemic.
And before everyone is like "that's too early": no, it isn't. I was a close reader of the news, and I knew covid was coming to the US in January 2020 and had started stocking up on N95 masks, hand sanitizer and surgical gloves by that point.
Before everyone is all "why isn't he going in now, the pandemic is over": it isn't over for everyone. It most particularly isn't over for the people we were told to stay home to try to save: the immunocompromised.
So yeah, that's my theory: the man follows the news closely, and is immunocompromised.
Why doesn't the state (or he) explain that? I don't know, maybe they're scared of their understanding of HIPAA, maybe he's afraid announcing it will cost him relationships or his job or his political ambitions - people are needlessly weird about some diseases/chronic conditions, I can understand not wanting to say something.
For me, the more relevant question is: is he doing his job? I don't care if he needs medical accommodations like needing to be kept away from people (in deep-red Kentucky, which has a decent percentage of covid deniers and absolute no-mask/no-vax "yes, I'll lie about it if I want to" contrarians) who may kill him - is he doing his job? That's all that matters.
It'd be pretty hypocritical if he was doing this to protect his own health after spending so much time fighting against the efforts of the governor to do the same for other citizens of the state, but fortunately there's no reason to believe this is the case.
As this article notes,
The attorney general has definitely been in the state Capitol at least a handful of times since he was sworn in in December 2019. HuffPost searched Associated Press and Reuters photo databases for images of Cameron inside the building. A few turned up.
[Italics in original]
No, the only way his health could be causing this behavior is if he has an allergic reaction to having to follow the same security protocols as the people who work for him, or if the thought of journalists being able to easily cross reference his comings and goings with different lobbyists seen in the Capitol gives him hives or something
Fucking stellar breakdown. Yeah first reaction of "he's not working" makes sense but your explanation is just as plausible (if not more since he's been in the news for doing his job according to other comments).
Who cares whether he uses his own fob to get into the capitol or not he's been clearly working his entire time in office to make our lives worse here. Maybe focus on that.
Making it more difficult for journalists and the like to stay on top of when the attorney general comes and goes to the capitol (which could help us guess at who he might be meeting with, how much time he's putting into various initiatives, etc.) by messing with the public record like this is part of making our lives worse
I mean the man has clearly been working. He's been in the news... For working.
