I get where Gski is coming from.
As a mod it's a balance. If you stay away from anything that could turn into left vs right, it eliminates a lot. Pure politics of course, but also coronavirus and masks, Vail and their business practices, the future of energy, land use, and on and on. The only reason any of that middle ground stuff works is because you guys/gals are on the whole, reasonable.
I merged TT's thread into this main thread. Probably where it should have been in the first place. We don't need a bunch of covid threads. If there is only one thread it's easier to avoid, if you want to avoid the topic.
I'm sure there's a fascinating story that led TT east. We'll likely never know.
