If Biden truly has a lead (at least in investors minds) and he lays out his Bernie/Warren/AOC economic policies we will unfortunately see the market react harshly.

Well established professional polling accuracy has run somewhat in excess of 80% for many decades.

It still does.

Your inference it has somehow reached structural failure across the boards is silly. Read up on it.

Furthermore, most 2016 polls weren’t far off at all. The failure of predictions that election was in the analyses that did not carefully study the potentials of a few swing states to expose our failure of an electoral system. And several of those swing midwestern states tipped by just a few thousand votes while national polling numbers were correct in showing HRC winning by popular vote numbers... which she did.

Choosing your candidate based on China’s distaste is just plain stupid. If China hates - oh say: a mentally deranged, narcissistic, egomaniacal, pathological liar who disrespects democracy and favors dictatorial executive power - you are going to embrace such a disaster? Brilliant.

And f*^$ investors. The mindless insects won’t stop investing ... they don’t know how to back off their dreams of stupid riches at this point. Gluttonly ruies. Look at typical waistlines in our culture.

No, what? You disagree that the air we share in the larger atmosphere of the earth isn't where our breath goes when we exhale outside? You're literally disputing a basic, obvious, observable fact. Or do you believe there's some magic umbrella trapping it all in within six feet of the ground?


That "droplet laden exhalation cloud" is diluted into a 10 mile high mass of gasses which blanket the earth. A guy swiftly riding a bike past you as you're walking isn't exposing you to any significant level of their lung exhaust in the milliseconds you share some proximity. It would be an airborne virus if it worked as you believe. CDC/WHO say it's not.

He doesn't believe the CDC.

From the CDC:

People should not wear masks while engaged in activities that may cause the mask to become wet, like when swimming at the beach or pool. A wet mask may make it difficult to breathe. For activities like swimming, it is particularly important to maintain physical distance from others when in the water.
People who are engaged in high intensity activities, like running, may not be able to wear a mask if it causes difficulty breathing. If unable to wear a mask, consider conducting the activity in a location with greater ventilation and air exchange (for instance, outdoors versus indoors) and where it is possible to maintain physical distance from others.


A sweaty mask is wet

it will not be on you Continually but only Transiently when within 6 feet while passing crossing others. I have been doing this while in the 80s/90s degree weather and have not acted like a child by refusing to let someone be the boss of me. Good grief.
