parkinson's law

Work expands as to fill the time available for its completion.

I usually have 9-10 accounting problems to do each week, which usually take around five or six hours to complete. Last night I only had one. It took me seven.

Scandirito's Law

A term coined by Michael Scandirito in response to Peggy Noonan's WSJ Opinion article titled "Get Ready for the Struggle Season" (posted on March 7th, 2019). It is inspired by the adage Godwin's Law. Whereas Godwin's Law refers to online discussions that have a reached a point in which there is a higher probability of encountering comparisons to Nazis and / or Hitler, Scandirito's Law refers to a higher likelihood that journalists will appeal rhetorically to the biases of specific political orientations during significant social events by comparing their ideological opponents' approaches to those of the Cultural Revolution.

Noonan, P. (2019). Get ready for the struggle season. WSJ Opinion.

This article strongly reflects Scandirito's Law since the author is drawing serious comparisons between people using hashtags on Twitter and the assassins of the Cultural Revolution.

Republicans deciding resistance to common-sense steps to help limit COVID-19 spread are just a Democratic ploy is dumb, but cleek's law requires it.
