Insofar as economics affects our hobby - railroads (primarily Narrow Gauge in the U.S., the contribution thereof to the GNP {Gross National Product} SFAIK being negligible) - IMHO we should confine ourselves to issues demonstrably relevant to our HOBBY, and not get too carried away with polly-tickle diatribe.   OTOH, what better way to express one's Curmudgeoninitude than rabble-rousing by expressing a non- conventional* political opinion.
