Re: Thoughts on you being a “Fed,” from someone who actually IS a “Fed”….
Heh. Speaking as someone who’s worked for the govt for 30 years (joined the military in ‘94…when you met me in college, I’d been in for almost 6 years, that was 25+ years ago), it’s kinda funny. Trust has been eroded in most institutions, sadly, the govt is among them. Someone has to keep the power grid on, lights on etc, and that comes down to those of us willing to do the hard things most don’t want to do.
And on Sundays, I too wear a clerical collar. Good times. 😁
You know, the internet (especially social media) is a cesspool. We can all say "yes and amen!" to that. But when anon accounts start in, they will start in. That's a guarantee. Those anons will either be in a basement somewhere, or are men living in the real world that cannot say these things openly. Getting fired for stuff said on twitter is a real thing. Not talking about the basement dwelling anon, but the real men living in the real world, if they don't trust the institutions, they certainly aren't going to trust you. Especially when you go at them the way that you do, brother Uri. So you're not gaining their trust by your twitter presence, not the rules you have. Food for thought brother.

Good serious stuff, but my wife and I had more than a few good laughs. Bless you, brother.
