This isn't an article about a second vaccine. It is about a drug that we don't know will work, that costs a lot, and will expire before it is ever used.
I work the 9-80 schedule at a county government agency. I work an extra hour from 7-8 am, and it has improved my commute considerably. After adjusting to the slightly longer days, it isn't a big deal to get through it. The only issue I have is that I often have to adjust the day off to deal with important meetings or emergency responses.
Not everyone in the agency works that schedule, so I get quite a bit done in the hour before everyone else shows up. The three-day weekends are great, and since you are only working a few extra hours each week, you don't get burned out.
As for my employer, I am not sure what the benefit is to them. Because we have to have someone working to respond to the public from Monday through Friday, the office is actually open longer hours, so there is no savings on heat, lights etc. Considering that we are not officially open until 8, it doesn't provide a benefit to the community (the extra hours don't help them, and the number of employees is slightly reduced the rest of the week).
When I linked to the story about pirate copies of the movie getting out onto the web, the Google Ads that came up on the page likned to... a site that helps you pirate movies off the web! So Google makes money by selling adspace, which makes money for people that host the google ads, for a company that makes money by helping people pirate movies. And they wonder why the arrest of 8 people doesn't do anything to stem the tide of pirated movies....

If it doesn't have to be the US government, the safe bet is on some combination of the words "China" and "internet".
