Hi ChrisRN. You said a lot there.
I certainly don't want to discourage you from posting, but yeah, this isn't the thread to talk about politics - nor the S-fund.
If left alone, this thread regarding ADP data, and any other thread that steers that way, will likely turn into a circus of political opinions, and we've been down that road a few times here giving it a shot, but it has been fruitless and becomes divisive.
Some folks here have mastered the skill of bringing up politics without being too uncivil, but it is typically the responses that shift the sentiment and it becomes cancerous for the forum.
Have you started a thread of your own - A "ChrisRN's Account Talk" thread in the Member's Account Talk area?
Here is where to do that:
Create your own thread to talk about your account transactions, strategies, returns, etc. The thread name should be your member name + Account Talk (ie: BigBob's Account Talk)
forum.tsptalk.com
Those threads are supposed to be about your opinions on the TSP and investing, but throwing in miscellaneous personal topics have been OK, as long as we don't steer completely into politics.
If you need any help creating your thread, let me know.
Thanks!
