Wake up on a Sunday and the first thing I see on Twitter trending is"Civil War" along with more violent clashes in Portland, a death, people online screaming the other side is plunging us towards the point of no return.

What a great start to the day...

Portland democratic leadership needs to accept federal assistance with the national guard like Kenosha did. Kenosha riots are over, Portland is still on fire.

FYI, there is a politics bowl that’s quite entertaining, you can bring this up there.

I agree. But Did you see the open letter from the mayor rejecting federal assistance? It’s rather... jarring/entertaining.

I think about this sometimes. I think about my friends who are Trump supporters and my friends who are Biden supporters. I seriously doubt they would take up arms against each other because while they do care about political issues they aren’t insane.

Agreed. There are a bunch of nuts who are very vocal. But as for the general population, what are they going to go to war over?

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
