Ted, I just got off the phone with a friend that lives in another state when I read your comment. The last forty minutes of our conversation was spent on the unpleasant encounters she has had with people while she was on the road, speaking to stranger making noise, which made it difficult for her to talk to business contacts, and she gave other examples. The bottom line was how uncooperative, rude and aggressive people have been in the last year or two. There are obvious parallels to our antagonistic political arena, hatred spewed by the former president, the deepening divide among us etc., but the pandemic, social isolation and changing messages concerning covid from various sources have added to this anti-social environment. If feels as though we are going through more than cross currents. There have been other disruptive periods, but this is on another scale.
