Have you been co-ordinating with the Harris campaign?
No, no it won’t. It didn’t work out too well during the first and only civil war, just got a bunch of people killed.
You need to get out of the bunker for a while.
Or for any other political reason.
Doubtful.
Such a war would indeed be very much like both. Unlike 1861, there would be no geographic dividing lines. Even the reddest states are only so by 10% at the most. This would not be a war against regions, but against next door neighbors. Whichever side "won" such a conflict, the nation would be fundamentally changed - and not for the better.
It’s great that people can have similar interests that cross socioeconomic and/or cultural boundaries. That said, a job site visit from the owner or boss or higher up of any kind rarely has any serious fraternizing that occurs (in my experience). Like you said yourself, you don’t get into anything serious (nor should you). Don’t get me wrong, the visits are a good thing as well as being necessary and they’re always congenial with some light chitchat (while being slightly awkward and stand-offish in nature) and visiting BUT if you said many of the things you have said of late to any of the guys holding a shovel or running a piece of equipment the conversation would cool rather quickly. I can’t imagine telling someone that is doing their level best to make ends meet with 20% aggregate inflation and 2-3 kids in school that everything is going fine and the stock market is going up so they should be happy with way things are. The thing about someone who is out of touch is that they don’t realize they’re out of touch, otherwise they wouldn’t be out of touch. I’m no commie and I want everyone to do well and I’m not making this out to be some sort of class warfare or criticism of someone who is well to do, all I’m saying is a little bit of self awareness and acknowledgment of reality go a long way. You’ve made plenty of comments that show that you really don’t have a clue about working class America.I'll submit that I interact with working class folks and have more common interests a lot more than Trump. As a matter of fact, one of my strengths has always been being able to fraternize with the folks in the field (though conversation topics have been off-roading, hunting, fishing, sports and blondesnot politics or religion). Funny story, years ago we were doing an oil pipeline in Arkansas. One of my Venezuelan engineers asked me, "How come all these guys talk about is hunting and fishing, hunting and fishing?".

In regard to economic concerns, we just disagree on the severity of economic situation today. I just don't think the sky is falling based on the current economic indicators. I am literally turning down multi-year projects that would require me as a "key person" on the sole-source contracts as I want to retire from active work in a couple of years.
And just who in Hezbolla is left to run that effort?
Why do you always say MAGA like it's a dirty word? I think the desire to make the country great again is laudable, tho I do wish Trump would be a bit less of a jerk.

First, I think the country is already great as evidenced by millions trying to get here for a better life. Second, imagineering the country to xenophobic days of the past is not that laudable in my view. The world has moved on, one can deal with it or just turtle up like many in MAGA are trying to do.
