It’s OK to talk politics with your family. I know this because my two brothers and I like to talk about pickup trucks, which is really just another way of talking politics.
I should explain. The brothers are both engineers. But not the kind of engineers who sit in front of a computer writing code and collecting stock options. They’re the kind of engineers who go to remote work sites full of heavy equipment and hazardous chemicals. They know about pickup trucks.
