So you're the Expert now?
I listened to that book. He’s a smart person with some pretty awful policy ideas and some good observations.
I followed him for a while until I realized that Never Trump Republicans are still Republicans. He had one good point if you look at it in the most charitable light possible. If I took a step back, it just started to look like regular old gatekeeping. "The NY Times editorial page is Always Right" kind of bullshit.
I am unsurprised that a known peddler of Steely Dan has bad opinions on kids these days.

I put these little things in hoping they will be appreciated by somebody so it's nice when they are. Still to my point - the script is as tight as a drum.

I feel like I’m saying it this way even when prompted by “thank you.” I think this is at least in part because I am frequently thanked for just doing my job. I don’t feel like I am doing anything special that deserves thanks, so I feel pompous when I say “you’re welcome” because I am very humble about what I do.
