  • Politics

    I enjoy listening to podcast, and if I’m gonna listen to one about honeybees, I don’t care about your political views anymore than I care about a musician or basketballs players political views. I unfollowed after several snide remarks, such as whether someone is gonna lose their job or “disrupter in chief”. As a veteran, I find that extremely disrespectful regardless of your affiliation! Adios!
