Closing inbox has really made me re-evaluate if I want to continue using Google for email, as the clusterf--- of garbage that Gmail has turned into for people with long-standing accounts is untenable. The kitchen-sink approach of gmail has

In the US, it is illegal federally to mandate that an employee join a union as part of their employment, and it's illegal to force them to pay dues. Some of our states go a step further and have introduced measures that seek to directl
