But, and hang with me here, Presidential Elections have a really low R.O.I. Any sensible billionaire knows that the quality investments are in Senators. Once you get one of them elected the chance of them loosing reelection is very low and yet any one of them can put an indefinite hold on any piece legislation and they really have a hold on getting the right kind of people on the courts. Really they should be spending their money more wisely.

You lucky So-and-So! It’s a heap of fun!
Old fashion lemonade & Rum aka a lemonade rum punch or as I call it a dirty ditch water. It ain’t pretty but god damn it’s tasty.
Well for Texas 60’s is darn cold.
Do I wish I mined bitcoin when it was cheap and easy? Or bought Apple stock just before the first iPhone? Or just not stuck my dick in the crazy? Sure I wish I knew then what I know but that’s just the road not taken.
Have I fucked shit up and hurt people I wish I hadn’t? Of course I’m human, but each mistake that broke me also made me put myself back together and I like to think that like a piece of Kitsuni art the remade pieces of me are better then they were before.
But maybe I’m an optimist and like to think that everyone is a work in progress and most choose to be better as they go along, including myself.
Yeah, I’m ME. That about covers it for me.
I think the writers on Ted Lasso got it pitch perfect with Jamie saying “Why would I want to be anything else, I’m me.”
Low paid workers have demands put on the scarce resource that is wages. If the wages go up, they spend that money in ways that increase productivity.
Seriously giving poor people more money does more for the economy than any tax cut.
Naw just tattoos on their arms. Why mess with the classics.
/s /s just in case some numpty thinks this is a good idea
I don’t know, you make a lot of good points and I do like your plan. I just dislike being wrong on the internet.
So if I sign up to your newsletter will you accept that as my admitting your probably more right then I am?
Seriously thanks I appreciate the posting.
Well I don’t live there and I haven’t been through the south for over 20 years so I’ll take your word on it. But I don’t like to give anywhere I believe in a full ticket run and maybe a serious run at Florida by the top of the ticket can’t win but could help turn some purple districts a bit more blue. And the Presidency is worth much more than the podium unless she’s got the house too.
So DJT failed to get Mike Johnson to toe the line about forcing a shut down if they didn’t get the voter suppression that he wanted. Sounds like the rest of the party is slipping through his fingers.
I don’t disagree but making the republicans spend money in Florida also prevents them from spending elsewhere.
If Trump says that “It’s too late” she should offer to make it earlier in the day. Sundowning is a legitimate concern for the elderly.
Nate left 538 about a year ago. He now publishes his own SubStack for subscription and does a lot of consulting, notably including a hefty contract with Peter Theil the well know billionaire and right wing power broker who pushed JD Vance to be the Vice Presidential candidate for Trump
I agree with your take on the old 538 model, but if you read Nate’s new substack it become pretty clear that he’s been ‘captured’. Almost all of his post seem to fairly anti-Harris in their biases and it feels like all of his writings are really meant for one person, that person being the owner of Polymarket who he has a very large consulting contract. What these biases are doing to the Model I don’t know but the new model at 538 which was built from the ground up by other statisticians consistently trends about 10-20% higher odds for Harris taking the election.
Quite honestly my favourite is the one that’s on right now, which ever one that is. It was Lower Decks just recently and I’m guessing soon it’ll Strange New World, but what’s in repeats always catches my eye too.
I don’t if the story is true but I heard in the finale day before she made her decision she interviewed both Josh Shapiro and Tim, and when she did Josh want to know what the divisions of responsibilities were going to be and what he would be able to take charge of. And Tim walked in and opened with “So what do you want me to do?” and I think that says everything I need to know about him.
Bawk! Bawk bawk! Bawk!
I came here looking for this and I knew Lemmy would come through for me. Thanks for passing your spark forward.
