Out of the Blue [Nov 05, 2024, 10:27 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Today is Election Day in the U.S. If you are a voter, I'm really hoping this is
not the first you're hearing of this. MrsBlue and I are about to duck out to do
our civic duty. I promised the Pickle Rick on my desk an "I Voted" sticker, and
he seems excited about that. We expect things to go smoothly for us, so I really
appreciate those who willingly endure long-lines and other obstacles that stand
between them and democracy. The stakes are high and the rhetoric has reflected
that, so hopefully we can proceed peacefully through this process and its
aftermath, Guy Fawkes Night notwithstanding.
To follow up on my jury duty summons, last night I learned I don't have to report tomorrow, so my luck held out. My next check-in is after business tomorrow, when I find out if I'm required to report on Thursday. I'll keep you posted.

Hope you all are ready to get project 2025‘d. This is just the beginning.
Happy I got lucky and got out of there. Even if dipshit pulls out of nato the EU can probably hold its own against a now shell of its former self Russia.
And enjoy the rising cost of living when those tariffs kick in. You asked for this.
I'm surprised that you haven't been paying attention to that issue and it was making everyone pay their fair share. Something that Trudeau is likely going to get Canada kicked out of NATO over.
I'm amazed that you don't understand that you can't have a strong middle class without blue collar jobs, and those jobs will come directly from those tariffs. The second benefit is it will kick China while it's screaming downhill and entering a massive deflationary crash worse than Japan in the 1980s.
I’m amazed anyone is dumb enough to believe tariffs alone will bring back jobs to the shit hole places in the US. There needs to be a comprehensive plan in place. You know by learned economists and people with actual skilled knowledge in job creation, not „capt‘ dur-tariffs“
Ohh well not my problem enjoy your melting economy. I’ll be fine.
