Interesting. Due to Obamacare I lost a job in a company I worked for for over 10 + years. Company split up sending jobs to the Philippines,India and Mexico.
My health insurance now not only costs more but has higher deductibles,co pays and supplies less coverage.
Obama also sent race relations into the toilet and started the ball rolling on demonizing law enforcement to the point that we are now less safe and crime is out of control.
Obama sucked.
I bopped back into a DoD job, at a decent GS level, as I have an eclectic skillset, decent education and a history of responsible position in and out of the military. My wife worked for a major regional healthcare provider, so we never lost healthcare for us or the two twins (due to the affordable healthcare act that let us keep them on our family plan while in college) we put in college (one public and one private universities) the fall, we lost our ass, as I had been the significantly higher income earner.
I skipped the culture wars and get along with people of all races. It is really a person thing, not a society thing at our level, if you don't get hooked on the drumbeat of the talking heads on both sides. There are black families on our street, and they think the world of us, of course they are just working families, teachers, retired preachers, just normal folks that happen to be black. If there is something serious, they call or come me get as they are calling the ambulance or police, which goes back to my eclectic skillset, willingness to get involved and do what has to be done. My daughter married a black guy, though he really was a piece of sh#t, not because he is black, but just because he isn't worth a damn, and I bought her a divorce near the end of the Obama years. My neighborhood is pretty quiet, and I am not personally experiencing a rise in crime in my neighborhood, we are long term residents, I used to be the organizer and head of the neighborhood watch and am known to walk my 90 lb German shepherd, armed in the neighborhood. New people that move into the subdivision seem to think I look like a cop and have asked if Lexie is a K-9 dope dog. To which I have replied, "Not anymore. Why? You holding?" So, since I have not had to experience an increase in crime or race relations problems, I don't get involved much in the culture wars thing, preferring just to have a good time and treat others as I
Expect to be treated, and it seems to work.
Sorry you had a rough time during the Obama years, I just missed it as, I was busy getting my sh#t back together.
