@Jwjw, I have a chef friend who moved to Steamboat from Denver two months ago for a seasonal gig, his rent is astronomical for a shabby closet of an apartment, and the restaurant / tavern had to close their dining room and bar a few weeks ago. He is RAILING against the "Texans" who strut into the town demanding to be entertained and catered to as entitled tourists, reckless mask - shirkers. He is furious with them and blames them for the shuttering of his restaurant doors, now he is quitting, breaking his lease, and moving back to Denver. Now, I've known him for 25 years and always considered him to be a fairly intelligent and reasonable man. Imagine the percentage of the population of average or below average reason, who feel this way. My "friends list" is atrophying at an exponential rate. I struggle a little bit with the anger and sense of loss. A couple extra layers of thick skin growing, shifting personal human resource priorities.
