    My first thought? OMG I hope he doesn’t have kids. Ofc, he does. There is empathy, just not in the way they’d like.

    Spoke with a conservative sibling, another sibling far left, and they echoed one another. In fact, delay deny defend came up in regard to a surgery coverage for one of them. They feel awful for his widow and kids, but not him. The feeling and common experience re healthcare are unifiers. I’m willing to bet every social circle has a delay deny defend story.

    We’re not supposed to unify on anything, people, we’re supposed to fight about trans and not talk to one another. I think that’s a main bother point for corporate.

    As for the politics even Shapiro’s following is turning on him regarding this topic. Manosphere: why is anyone surprised by this? No sympathy. Late night talk show hosts who hard lean left: no sympathy for Thompson just light jokes.

    And the only politicians speaking frankly are Sanders, Warren, and AOC.

    Against the backdrop of everything else, corporate sounds like they’re reading a script. Or a greeting card byline. There’s no real talk there.
