Why are so many Americans forced to work standing up – unlike their president? | Arwa Mahdawi

TSA staff at US airports are no longer allowed to use chairs while working, in an effort to promote professionalism. This change affects many employees who now have to stand for long periods, potentially impacting their health and well-being. The move is seen as a reflection of the administration's focus on efficiency and productivity, but it may also have unintended consequences for the workers' physical and mental health.
