The Barber's Poll

Talked to a friend of mine who is a barber and asked him what was the topic of conversation of late. He's a very easy going guy who doesn't volunteer his opinions much but is instead more inclined to listen.

He offered two things he's hearing about frequently. The Iranian war. Apparently it makes no sense to anyone who mentions it. And the job market. People cannot find work.

Not exactly the equivalent of a poll but ... it is something. And makes me think that perhaps there should be an informal poll taken of barbers and manicurists to get their sense of what is on Americans' minds.
