Most experts say that mixing business with politics is the worst thing for any businessperson to do.

But, since politics is basically the way of life, as it affects our social life, how can any reasonable business person, anywhere, actually be able to avoid being part or participate in politics and still go to bed at night peacefully when so many are suffering because of socio-politics?

Thats like mixing politics with religeon.It doesnt go well together no matter how hard you try. If you want to mix politics and business just run for office.Thats how politicians live.

It's too divisive & emotional a topic. If you're in a room full of people, someone is bound to be offended by your views. Plus when people hear opposing political viewpoints, their open minds shut off & they become combative, then that's the end of the constructive discussion.

If you're really hankering to discuss politics in a business context, then join a business group with a particular political context, like "association of republican businessmen", "the green industry consortium", "executives for social equality", etc (I made those up, but you get the gist). My two cents.
