Feels like a risk worth taking compared to right now where I have no confirmation of what happened to my ballot once it’s dropped in the box.

Depends on how you classify a wave, but looks like Oz and Masters will both lose. Walker is in a dog fight and may end up losing. That’s three very winnable races where Trumps guys are struggling mightily.

Abortion is culture war issue #1 and bans are defund the police level unpopular. The GOP is going to have to move off the most extreme stance on that issue or it will continue to be a drag on them.

These “statements” are so unhinged I always have to check multiple times if they are actually real. Really hope trump goes away.

Insane to me that SBF is speaking as publicly as he has been. I get criminal law is different if you are rich (formally), but I thought rule #1 was don’t talk to anyone.

Didn’t it take years after the bankruptcy for charges to be brought for Enron? My completely unfounded guess is that the DoJ is working to get a high level executive to work against SBF in order to prove intend on fraud (vs negligence if they can’t prove intent). That process could take time to establish. I would be shocked if SBF ends up not being criminally charged eventually.

Ironically Enron is a good example on the political donations side as well. The top brass at Enron was extremely well connected with the Bush family. IMO SBF is a big fish (much bigger than Elizabeth Holmes who got serious time) and the DoJ is going to aggressively pursue him. Justice just works slowly.

I thought this would potentially take years. The relatively quick arrest makes me think the government has an extremely strong case. I’d guess he’s getting 15+ years.

I agree with this. I thought the fraud aspect in particular would take awhile to gather evidence to prove. The DoJ moving this quick makes me believe they have strong hard evidence (emails, slack messages, testimony from executives) that prove intent. SBF is cooked.

True, 15 is likely the low end. Sounds like he has a real possibility of a 50 year type sentence.

The SDNY is not well known for slaps on the wrist. He is facing serious charges and is high profile. They will go for the kill.

Depends on how you define “ordinary people” this is huge news in the business press. Enron is certainly a household name because of their much more sophisticated and difficult to understand scandal.

I believe white women are both the biggest US consumers and the most progressive group in the US. Could argue that part of companies going overly woke is just to sell more things to their biggest demographic.

I mean the greatest investor of all time is old and lives in Omaha eating McDonald’s with soda. At least SBF bought some island property.

China not using their zero COVID strategy to vaccinate the population with Pfizer/Moderna/J&J vaccines is puzzling. I was under the impression the entire goal of zero COVID was to buy time to vaccinate the populous. The PRCs decisions remain a mystery to me.

Personally think you’d have to believe CCP level propaganda to think Pfizer and Moderna are not highly effective for high risk groups to protect against the most serve outcomes/death.
I always thought the movie was about the importance of community and it wasn’t very hidden. Isn’t the angels entire visit at the end about all the great things George did for the community? The final scene is the community giving back to him. This is in contrast to Potter who only cares about money.

Really wish the GOP would adopt a strategy of being the “adults in the room” as a counter to the woke excess side of the Dems. Unfortunately there seems to be much more money to made by being an attention whore like Gaetz than attempting to govern.
Voting needs to come with a receipt/tracking number similar to UPS/FedEx. Should be able to enter in your number and match that your vote was processed. This doesn’t seem like a difficult control to add.
