American politics is incredibly toxic and counter productive. Why can't people keep politics and productive work separate. This goes for both sides, people need to stop sharing political rants in spaces dedicated for work and people need to stop digging in to contributors social media pages to find something bad.


>Why can't people keep politics and productive work separate.

They do. Most of the toxic political bullshit happens when you have a large enough group of people that don't have enough productive work to engage in.

Take any profitable bootstrapped company behind a product with an actual user base and the toxicity levels drop exponentially.

That said, in the current investment climate, toxic bullshit unfortunately pays more than productive work.
