A quick definition of plurality vote:

Plurality vote: A way of voting where the person with the most votes wins, even if they don't have more than half of the total votes. It's like a race where the person who crosses the finish line first wins, even if they didn't run the whole distance.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Plurality vote is a type of voting system where the candidate who receives the most votes wins, even if they do not receive a majority of the votes.

Example: In a race with three candidates, Candidate A receives 40% of the votes, Candidate B receives 35% of the votes, and Candidate C receives 25% of the votes. Even though Candidate A did not receive a majority of the votes, they would win the election because they received the most votes.

Explanation: Plurality vote is commonly used in elections where there are multiple candidates running for the same position. The candidate who receives the most votes is declared the winner, regardless of whether or not they received a majority of the votes. This can sometimes lead to situations where the winner does not have the support of the majority of voters, but rather just the most support out of all the candidates.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
