Putting ideas into action is called policy, policy informed by ideas/ideology. 

Gvt. policies likely impact audio endeavor more than it would appear on first glance. The problem with most discussions involving gvt policy is people reflexively retreat to their ideological corners, arguments ensue, so much nuance lost. There are far more than two sides to vast majority of issues facing us. Win win game theory gets us somewhere, zero sum games predominate today.

Three things I never want to discuss with my motorcycling friends: Religion, politics, and sports teams.

That said, I find that in this supercharged environment of politics in the USA, almost no discussion of government actions (or inaction) can be had without some moron injecting their political slant. 

Never used to be this way, seems to be getting worse by the day.

Almost every topic here turns into a storm and eventually the whole thread gets deleted.

And this is an audio hobby 🙄

I know that

I prefer anything politics related be deleted.  I stopped posting and visiting for the last several months because of all the political posts.  I am not the only one.  Even this thread has dishonesty in it by creating fake pathways to politics to validate the continual political posts.  Lots of other places to vent your frustration or share your thoughts.  Continually posting off-topic shows a lack of self-control and respect for others.  Let's keep the focus on audio.
