I have several friends that live up there.    One works for NASA, is
approaching retirement, and is quite concerned for both NASA and
coworkers.   The commment was "half of us are registered republicans
and that's gonna bite the red side in two years".

When I worked at NASA awhile back, it seemed like the old hands leaned true conservative (as opposed to the wanna-be fascist we have now) while the younger group was much more liberal. I hope it bites "Red" hard right in their gonads at the mid-terms.

 The young people (under 30) in the USA have been so screwed over that they are turning very conservative.  The young pushed Trump over the top in the 2024 election.  One hopes that they will do so again in 2026 and 2028.

` You and the young folk who went conservative have flipped ouit.
They have a good reason being alive in a world destroying itself for the
convenience of automobiles and air travel.
But the Orange man-shaped creature in the Oval Office will do
very little good for them and I believe I have read that they are
beginning to figure that out since that one announced his Tariff plans.

 I have been reading about the Human Resources departments in the USA making it very difficult to find a job unless you are an underpaid H1B. Not good for our nation.

I don't know about Human Resources but it is the way the
Silcon Valley does business. Which is why we have so much stuff
from the Silly Valley.
