Do you have a litmus test question?
Not necessarily for dating - I'm thinking about general interactions with new people. (But if the dating bit applies, go for it.)
Is there a question you ask that gives you a sense of whether there might be friction between you two in the future, but which is innocuous enough that the other person doesn't feel interrogated here and now?
It's not something I bring up, but if it does come up, it's their views on public education.
If they're in favor, they're cool. That tells me they understand the role of society and what we owe future generations.
If they bring up charter schools, that's a yellow flag. I have complicated feelings there, but basically there are good ones, but many siphon money from public schools while limiting who can enroll.
Private schools/vouchers are a red flag.
Hear hear, John - and thank you for your work. We could use more "waste disposal specialists" in politics, but your labour is essential right where it is as well.
