It doesn't matter what happens to our economy. Or foreign policy. Or health care for our citizens. Or any of the traditional issues of both parties.

I no longer discuss politics with these people. Our interactions, few as they are, are strictly business. I am polite, we take care of business, and that's that. It's a waste of time to engage in discussions about anything else.
