We are a nation of rules and the rules are boring. Embrace that. In times of difficulty, go with the boring option. When faced with a frightening crisis, tamp it down with ultra-boring moves. No matter what, stick with the rules.

I can’t avoid talking about Donald Trump but I’m going to make it brief. I know you don’t like him; neither do I. But let’s assume he’s only a politician. He’s not Hitler, Godzilla or the Beast of the Apocalypse—just a guy with a loud mouth and a desperate need for attention. Most Americans think of him that way.

This is not about him. It’s about you.

    Winter’s lead? Interesting, I’ve never heard that phrase before. What does that mean?

    There’s no point in commenting misleading information or false premises, no.

    I have tons of time and believe in accuracy, so making anything up or being deliberately misleading won’t work for you here.

        Ha! Thanks.

        And wow, that must be an ultra Mandela effect

        I feel like taking his lead, taking their lead definitely means to imitate the behavior of another and just looked at all the major dictionaries because I was so confused by your link.

        Take the lead vs. take their lead

        Can’t believe that’s not in the dictionary, good find.
