The extremes on both sides of the political spectrum worry me. I've witnessed what the Democratic Socialist of America candidates have done here in the Twin Cities after they've been elected and it's been disastrous for the local economy and quality of life of the middle class taxpayer. People are yearning for change so badly that they're willing to take chances on anyone who even offers them a smidgeon of hope. As you said, it's such a dangerous situation.

This "Diary of a CEO" podcast with Pete Buttigieg has been one of the best political interviews I've seen in a very, very long time. Pete makes a whole lot of sense. I think he's, obviously, going to run for President in 2028 even though he isn't admitting it—yet. He's saying so many of the right things but I believe our system itself is rotten to the core and doubt one person could make much of a difference at this point.
