The article is talking macroeconomics, you're talking microeconomics. Two different worlds.
This thread must be mind-blowing for Americans.
Seriously, the US is just embarrassment upon embarrassment upon embarrassment these days.
I hope Biden will take this opportunity as the new king and show Republicans that this is a two-way street.
Independents and moderates are moving between the two equally for different reasons. Plenty of reasons why moderates despise Trump at the moment.
Not gonna happen. Also, the debate won't make any difference. People made up their minds a long time ago on Biden vs Trump they are clearly not budging no matter what happens with the candidates. Only if they fall over dead will they be replaced.
I think Biden has done a very good job, but I'd be more excited to vote for Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom or Josh Shapiro.
it doesn't matter because I don't live in a swing state.
Not true. It absolutely does matter.
There's probably no difference. People made up their minds on Biden vs Trump a long time ago and nobody's budging. Debate is not going to make any difference either.
The Republican Party has been mired in scandal for years but has lost no support. People are in their trenches.
The dude didn't say a word for decades. Now he has a loud opinion about literally everything. I wonder what he's thinking about my new tube socks or the lunch I had two days ago. I'm sure he'll let me know.
Either way it seems right now you need a hard reset.
Yet, half the country seems to be choosing to go back to Trump. There's no cure for stupid.
That shows "President Joe Biden has lost no immediate ground to Trump," per Morning Consult's findings.
The vast majority of voters made up their minds long ago. The Republican Party has been in disarray for several year without losing significant support. This debate with not be much different for the Democrats. People aren't budging.
There may be a few moderates and independents who could still move, but there's plenty of awfulness to turn off independents on the Republican side as well.
Unfortunately, it looks like there's great risk of another four years of orange joy.
Was looking at your post and this crazy incident popped up on my phone: https://apnews.com/article/long-island-minivan-nail-salon-crash-5e9fc211611203204bc37f4a436ca9b7
Trump and the Republicans extended the pandemic in the US and made it far worse with their policies that turned many of their voters into anti-vaxx and anti-mask lunatics.
Yeah, but Biden has bad debating skills, so we're all going to vote for Trump now so he can overturn this, right?
We'll see. With the way things are going, I highly doubt any of them will leave voluntarily before 90.
It seems the US is truly falling into the hands of religious zealots despite a Senate and President who pushes the other way. Tells you how much power the Supreme Court has.
It also makes it very clear that you can't jump ship just because of a bad debate. It's about policy, not one person's debate skills.
Probably looking at 20 years or so. Or more than a lifetime for some. Pretty depressing.
The justices in a 5-4 vote rejected arguments by the Biden administration and Democratic-controlled states that the plan was cutting air pollution.

I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I'd leave my current job behind and with it my family's health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can't afford any of the options I've seen. It's the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health insurance for startups? If you've been in the same situation, what did you end up doing?
