Of course, there is a correlation between energy costs and inflation. Mathematically, if you add a variable to the model.. the R-squared goes up. Hence, there will always be some correlation. The devil is in the details though. How much of the price increase of $1.00 (for example) can be DIRECTLY attributed to energy prices? Answer.. usually about 4 to 7%.

Honestly, if Trump put the clamp on his verbal diarrhea.. he wins handily. By at least 150 Electoral votes... but not sure he can do that.

Trolls exist in many a forum. That being said.. none of their comments are read by the top brass. Their impassioned, hateful rhetoric is largely meaningless.

Im not sure how this is a story. People donate to political parties directly or indirectly every day.

A certain someone wants privileged, insider information. There are reasons why the police and other agencies do not just open the case file up to everyone and tell everyone everything. Its a conspiracy.. some grand cabal.

Yes, he would. A lie is not the same as an outlandish prediction as you already know.

he may have already in this thread but WCM makes every topic into COVID-19.

will say that Kamala Harris at least has a pulse. For those who care deeply about politics.. this is going to make things a bit more interesting. As for myself.. I do not watch cable news or look at news stories on Facebook, so not much is going to change.

Ok.. sure. Moving along.

Like all things.. it is a matter of degree. 15 homeless spread out over a mid size city is nothing. Now when you see hundreds clustered in a small area such as a downtown is going to make an impression.

Hmm.. not sure what this has to do with anything.

this whole thread is a prediction. Not sure what there is to argue for or against. Yes, Biden stepped down but the events in the OP have not occurred yet.

did you mean to say, "Biased"

Folks have watched far too many thrillers and crime drama shows.

just another forum like this one. Just saying that if you think FiveofSwords is bad.. he is nothing compared to the types on liberalforum.net

venture over to Liberalforum.net.. you will see some especially virulent Holocaust Deniers.

she was 74...

even a bad shot gets lucky sometimes. However, this is just one of many factors that make this conspiracy theory extremely unlikely.

as it stands now.. I can see Kamala Harris wining in CA, OR, WA, NV, NM, CO, MN, IL, MI, MA, MD, NY, VT, NH, NJ, DE and VA. This would put her at 229.. 51 short of the magical 280 number. I can see her losing Maine, Georgia, Arizona, Pennyslvania, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island where Biden won last time.

Even my wife who is rather liberal knows and respects the process. The process (elections) does not always produce the candidate that you want. So in short.. Trump will win which is not a result that I want but I respect the process and will move on with life.

I guess that it is possible but from what I know of it.. it seems very unlikely.

"history of the world".. I think Mel brooks would read this and give himself a face palm

I wrote months ago that Biden simply not running would be the best case scenario. Now. that came with the caveat that he did so early on in the season and give another candidate time to put a full campaign together. As it stands now, Trump wins (which he would have against Biden as well) by at least 100 electoral votes. Kamala harris is an ok last minute choice but given time.. there are better candidates. If by miracle she wins.. it will be a dark day in our history. Only because we will have another "Stop the Steal" campaign/march/protest.

The poster that you are conversing with honestly thinks that involuntary incarceration would not only be sufficient but also necessary. It carries with no costs of course. The police work for free as do those in corrections. Their time is infinite.. Time spent policing homelessness does not carry with it any opportunity costs.
