Genuinely curious: Has this always been a thing in the US? To hang pictures of the President, VP, etc. in government buildings? Or is this new?

I ask because the practice, alone, really gives "Dear Leader" kinda vibes.

I started out working in research labs, then moved into the "office work" world. In my estimation, office jobs make people lose their minds.

People who work in offices are often very psychologically removed from the end-goal of their work, and they tend to fixate instead on office politics and other petty nonsense to the detriment of that goal.

More often than not, working in an office feels like going back to high school, except the people acting like children are full-grown adults who should know better.
