A survey called me. The call lasted thirteen minutes. Age, occupation, race, income, education, etc. Most of the answers were on a scale of five, although a few 1 to 10. No state or local issues. All national issues. State of the economy. Voting habits. China. Tariffs. Trump’s performance. Political leanings. Nothing about Gaza, Ukraine, or Iran. No Epstein. No climate collapse. No bloated Pentagon budget.
