As I've said this current adventure is a bit over the top... guaranteed short-term economic pain (loss of profit sharing for sure), with lots of risk, of variety of potential bad outcomes. The ultimate end-state is still likely to be better than the old status quo, but of course that's not 100% either.
Yeah. Some of the comments remind me of the schism between my peers invested in QOL when it comes to contract negotiations and those desiring max $$$ opportunities for them, almost regardless of the toll it may take on home life. IF (and it is a big IF) this current conflict can keep my kids from having to live in a world where insane apocalyptic mullahs have control of nukes and the missiles to deliver them, I’d gladly forgo a couple of years of profit sharing. But clearly others have a different priority.
