Overheard on Zoom before the morning meeting started, two coworkers discuss the current political climate while waiting for the rest of their department to log on.
“Is there a debate tonight?”
“Nah, there’s one this week?”
“There was also a town hall less than two weeks ago!”
“What else could they possibly be discussing?”
“Probably just the same issues in new, awkward ways that make them sound old.”
“Nah, I don’t think there’s one.”
“CNN said something about one!”
“I can’t decide—are they fake news or not?”
“You’ll see, there’s definitely a debate tonight.”
“Is Donald Trump going to have anything meaningful to say?”
“Nope.”
