Terri that's very, very kind; thank you. Yes, there is a huge difference between working for elite status--I am a good example of the aspirational middle class--and being handed it. The first is infinitely better, both morally and for society as there is an accountability there. As for the rest--thank you. Everyone in our community is welcome in the discussion; as you say I am a midwesterner and Rocky River person always!
Dear Philip, Thanks very much; I love getting under the surface of things and the Patrick Henry podcasts allow me to do this. Yes, although I don't definitively know, my guess would be in line with yours. I think the elites who are disappointed in Biden feel as they do because he 'didn't deliver' enough of the agenda; which as you say is even worse!
With the 84% of “elites” who approve of Biden, I’m curious why the 16% don’t approve of him. Is it because they agree with the “non-elites,” or do they disapprove because they think he has not gone far enough in the policy direction they like. I’d assume the latter, which indicates an even further divide in these views.
I have 5 minutes left in the podcast, but I feel John that you worked for your elite status and it is rooted in midwestern values. This is why people gravitate to you, you make us all feel welcome in the discussion. We started in the same place, but I recognized that you were on a different, greater trajectory than the rest of us. And I was right!

...or his staff has! Thanks Simon for sketching out the link and onwards. Fondly, John

Do you think Sir Kier Starner has recently listened to this podcast?
