Another good read! I’ll admit I have been guilty of claiming the 50/50 divide exist on nothing more than just personal feelings. It’s nice to have facts and research on these things. Of course I’ve never supported any sort of violence such as recent events we have seen over the past few years.

I’m interested in seeing more post about the economic growth. You know very well how much I strived to get people wage increases at my previous employer. I even went into depths to show inflation vs their lack of increases in ten years. By the time we finally made a small amount of progress and got a few 5% increases, inflation had even greater growth that same year! It was a major hit to everyone’s morale, but I guess it would have been even worse to not have an increase at all.

Thanks! Yeah, it has been really encouraging and freeing to see the data support my feelings that we aren’t divided. It has made me much more comfortable having conversations with people, and my gut has pretty consistently been right: the overwhelming majority of us enjoy having kind, open-minded conversations about the problems we can try to collectively fix. I’ll say I still have all my friends 😊

Good to know you have a particular interest in the economy. Definitely seems like the policies over the past couple years are going to continue pushing up growth and down inflation. Will definitely keep you posted. 😊
