Most of us have never experienced the stress that you guys must deal with every day on the job. I can't even imagine it! But the political bullshit that's going on now is completely unfair and anti-productive. If you decided to leave the USA, I'm sure you could get a great job working for more money in a better place like Germany or similar.
Please don't lose heart, we're going to see that you get treated fairly as soon as the adults can take over. Hopefully that will happen in 2020 or maybe sooner.

Normally I like fact-based posts with numbers. This one is depressing and extremely scary.

I hope so, too. He really doesn't care, or know anything about, ordinary Americans.
