So considering the social and political climate we’re facing right now, is anyone else in this industry feeling like you’re the only conservative in a sea of blue?

I’m center. I can’t stand the racism. But I can’t stand the extreme liberalism either. Kind of a hard spot to be right now.

I don’t believe “Conservative” equals Christian. Jesus told us to love our neighbor. Our current President spews nothing but hate. Jesus commanded us to defend the poor and the weak. Our current President loathes the poor and the weak. Jesus told us to turn the other cheek. Our current President lives to take an eye for an eye. My heart aches when I see people trying to put Jesus into such a small box as “conservative”.

Yeah... I feel you. Though I feel agencies are places where conservative ideas are bot often blasted out load for exactly the kind of shortcut this thread implies: « Christian » = red
I’m Christian, full-on. And trust me, I wouldn’t consider myself a conservative...

Same. I’m a devout Christian and my coworkers know that about me. They also know I’m a socialist.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding. If I understand correctly, the sole disadvantage this has compared to a tax sheltered retirement account is that the quarterly dividends will be taxed? But even so, they’ll be taxed at a lower qualified dividend rate since I’m automatically reinvesting those dividends.
