Hey Everyone,
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to shake hands with a local politician named Larry Elder, a Republican who is running for governor of California in the upcoming recall election.
My grandparents, who live here in California, are quite active in local politics, and they were kind enough to put on a grand fundraising event in their home.
As much as I try to stay neutral in the great American political divide, I thought it prudent to mingle during the party and hear some of the thoughts being shared.
After all, California is one of the world's largest economies, so it pays to pay attention.
In retrospect, the time that I spent at the Los Angeles meetup seemed a lot more fruitful, not that there is much to compare.
The two events were about as opposite as two events can be. However, for some reason, I felt like I was actually having an impact on how the future might look in one event, whereas in the other, it was just politics as usual.
