You did miss it.
Ultimately, this is a Gator board and not a Political board. It means that we put things aside and enjoy the Gators.
I do think with my head, a lot. I won't go into my position, firm, or clients that I work / industries, but a "bleeding heart liberal" would be the last description that most people would give to. Fair, intelligent and balanced. I apply intuition, weigh the facts and update my views all the time.
The past two years, China aside, did highlight a number of things for me that we can do better as a country. It may mean earning a bit less and taking care of our working class brothers and sisters, of all backgrounds, better.
It does not mean, at all, the GND, open borders, massive stimulus checks, etc. It is not virtue signaling. The data suggests, for example, perhaps tragically, that Head Start programs do not work. Teacher unions have set back black and brown communities significantly this year. One could argue, very successfully, that Derek Chauvin was a failure of the police union (17 citations and still on the street). It does mean, re-entering the "heart" back into some of the discussions and do it in a balanced and most impactful way. Yes. Police reform, opportunity zones, minimum wage increases, early child care credits, universal broadband paid for by increase taxes on corporations to 25%, capital gains taxes on those having a total AGI of $2M+ and even a wealth tax on those with a $1B above (implementation would be hard), are all meaningful steps. It also means treating people with respect. "S..hole countries", etc. is not useful rhetoric.
In respect, it means that despite the back and forth, if you said, "hey man, let's grab a beer and enjoy the gators", I would say simply, "sounds great man". That is respect.
Enjoy your Sunday. Go gators.
