Hot of the Press--FYI Best Buy is HQ'd in my state:
“There are very, very small margins in this industry, which means the vast majority of that tariff will probably be passed on to the consumer as a price increase,” Best Buy CEO Corie Barry said Tuesday. “These are goods that people need, and...
Not sure that affecting drug flow will work but it's a reasonable reason for them at least.
Maybe republicans will finally vote for the immigration improvement bill that many of their members supported--esp. those in border states--before Trump ordered them not to vote for it? Goes partway...
Yes...we'll see...what today's market reactions are to yesterday's straight from Trump announcement of 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Following a good day yesterday as the market reacted to a Treasury lead pick that was thought to actually be qualified and competent and would argue AGAINST...
Me too--but those on one side are "quislings" or "RINO's" these days. They consider themselves still hopeful spectrum members but the party has ostracized them.
Helps to know some who have been there for all the changes in norms in recent decades.
Still not understanding you, but maybe we aren't talking apples to apples. There is NO second election in the instant runoff system. The election has been held already--once--all that's left is the counting of votes until a winner is declared. So maybe you are talking about something else...
I plan to drop mine off with someone who has beetles. Best way to get it done, but 150 to 200 around here just to have them clean the skull, not mount it. A lot cheaper than a head mount though and the buck I have isn't worth that.
The teeth and inside nose bone are the most likely to give...
I agree it may notprovide any boost to a third party. But if....as many voters lean...your belief of a need for a third party stems from a desire for someone, anyone...that's more moderate than the extremes the two parties often give us, there will be less need for a third party as the system...
These are positions desired and pushed by MODERATE factions--NOT the left. You are making my point that people do not understand what RCV does or who it can help. No party wants it--it takes away from their consolidation of power and as both parties move to the extremes, it requires them to...
Couple of thoughts:
What studies?
I sometimes see people rail against it without even understanding what it is.
Ballots look similar to below.
Voting continues until one candidate gets a majority. Of all votes--so if 100,000 votes were caste you wait until a winner hits 50,001 or more...
The other option--also little chance of it happening as the two parties both want nothing to do with it--is changing the voting system. Instant run off or ranked choice. Might actually be preferable to a third party IMO. Has the impact of dramatically softening the extremes in both sides. We...
Not sure that will ever happen at least not soon--need one side to totally crash--and if it's the right side the media that routinely lie in support of them need to be shunned as well.
In any case the person the majority of people voted for will be the worst option if that was their goal--by far.
The two parties need a real threat from a viable third party that is more moderate to change the status quo IMO. They resist all other efforts to moderate IMO. Often say things aren't simple but two age old political standby's likely were the difference. All politics are local ..and people...
Fair question
Lot more complex than stated by some here.
I think this piece covers some of the incoming admin's intent and the likely result from an economists and fiscal policy position well.

Keep in mind what they are talking...
