An ‘Angry Uncle’ Conversation Primer (Optional)

This is common: many families have members or holiday guests who are argumentative and sometimes distasteful.

Often they want to discuss politics, and frequently they want to argue macroeconomics.

This is so widespread that The New York Times has come up with an app about it.

If interested, Google "angry uncle conversation" and look for a link with nytimes.com in it. The site is free to use. (Here’s a currently working link).

It's a chat bot that plays the role of a holiday guest who's angry about politics. You can role play and figure out how to approach them in a way that makes them less confrontational.

It's much more fun than a real angry uncle ;-D
