Podcasters beware! You may have “unacceptable views.”

After the darkness of 2020, it was tempting to just throw up your hands and focus on getting through the next day with a look forward to some unexpected new tax, or a new social bylaw. In other words, go to work, head down, and do not even consider making any fun comments around the water cooler. Who knows where that will end up? Avoid compliments to a co-worker that may be misunderstood. The list goes on. In other words, have an opinion on nothing. Some people may view it as an ‘unacceptable opinion.’ Think convoys, parents and schools.
