as an owner - that may be my favorite 1 minute of television ever. "bring it back here ... look at that hideous face...."

my little lady has broken the 10 barrier (barely). we could not love an animal more. her personality and genuine love is more then we could have ever asked for. we have been lucky on the cost curve (our historical rescues had higher bills) so i know we should be considered luck

yeah i do not think the long term impact on staffing is fully appreciated/understood. As the OP mentioned - if you are a seasoned manager and have just seen the carrot ripped away - what is the new incentive.

Also partners that sold but stayed on - employee life is not an easy transition back to.

it will be fascinating to watch it pay out

Not state-wide, 50/50 (actually 2K Republican). Again, the data in Nevada is clearing showing Red - it is really not even reasonably debatable unless you are projecting a MAJOR shift in other - like monumental.

re: Florida's Trump advantage seems to be getting closer and closer to 15%

Posted by igoringa on 11/5/24 at 3:36 pm

I have not seen anything reputable that suggests 20% is magical.

It will be a significant beat over historical and polls - both really good signs

re: Nevada info from Ralston

Posted by igoringa on 11/5/24 at 3:31 pm

Absolutely incomplete information.

Early vote in Clark was R plus 47K so currently net 45K in a state they lost by 8+ last go.

re: Clark County Nevada Election Day voting trending towards Dems

Posted by igoringa on 11/5/24 at 3:24 pm

LOL

2.2K difference today. Early voting advantage in Clark was plus 47K Republican.

This in the county the dems won by 8+ in 2020.

Other counties, all red

This is not good news for the Dems by a longshot.

What are the best resources to watch

Posted by igoringa on 11/5/24 at 7:24 am

early voting trends (ie Florida and the like) for those states that post them?

Is there a definitive collection that has been compiled yet in these threads?

Posted by igoringa on 11/4/24 at 8:52 am

And there other amazing cross tab is that 65 year old men swings 30% also to break even basically. What possibly is the rationale for old men switching to neutral?

Seriously - is the argument 70 years old men swing 30 percent over abortion? Lol

I mean even some of the environmental groups are coming around (Sierra Club).

The market still is not fully absorbing: (1) the current production deficit which does not even factor in this new demand; and (2) more and more of KAP production is not going to make it to the west.

There will be an oh shite moment and it will be crazy. Ofcourse I have predicted 12 out of the last 0 of those lol

He used the campaign "Contact Us" box and video captured himself sending it instead of sending an email, which he could post and validate the date/time sent easily. Why?

So is your position the "thank you for contacting" letters that he posted today are; (1) fabricated with a fake date?; or (2) real but he did not send what he said he did on these dates but some other information?

I am trying to get a feel for the position

When he literally made that post he explicitly stated it would be the last one of the night and that he would start again later in the afternoon today and try to go quicker.

Why is him doing exactly what he said something laughable? Enjoy the banter, but this is sort of weird on your part.

She's a partisan hack, but I'm highly suspicious of hard cuts of videos. Dollars to donuts, "I'm not familiar with that" was in response to the numbers reduction, not that she's not familiar with the Bureau of Labor.

I am sure it is but how is that any better. The Commerce Secretary did not know that job growth was misstated by 818,000. It was reported everywhere all week an amount was coming - she was literally on CNBC yesterday pimping the ticket.... it is quite derelict that she was not aware of this.
