Oh yes, that's for certain. But by that time some of the stuff that Trump is doing now will have affected his base, and they may not be so eager to do it all over again with Vance.
@Mark- Thanks for that question. I've just been assuming (never a great idea) that Vance would be a second coming of Trump. But I think that you're right. Vance will undoubtedly pick up all of the moneyed ultra-right Trump backers, and likely a sign…
No funds is even less fun. But every time that I'm tempted by all of you I take a look at the current market level and decide to wait until Trump crashes the whole thing. Maybe then. :)
@mskursh- Having used American Funds primarily for almost fifty years to build our retirement position we now have simplified to MMKT, CD, and Treasury holdings at Schwab. Having used many different American Funds over the years, I'm curious as to w…
Having lived through Newsom's tenure as SF mayor, then as governor, I've never been overly impressed either. Shallow, I think. I was never impressed with Kamala Harris, either. I always thought that she was pretty light-weight, brought up through th…

That report on the dumping of toxic waste in the Calabasas landfill was really something. One way or another we've generated so much poisonous waste that nowhere is really going to be safe as we muddle on.
From a number of sources I've read that the beef imported from Brazil is mostly "front end" cuts primarily used for ground meat here in the U.S. So this gets a little complicated... Bolsonaro is in trouble because he tried to imitate Trump, so Trum…
As Sven notes, labor shortages are very much a factor. A couple of day ago I read a report on Florida agriculture's problems due to labor shortages. One long-time strawberry farmer, (who had voted for Trump but was now afraid to have his name used b…
I ordered a small 17" step-stool about three weeks ago from Amazon.
Cost: $21.18.
I ordered another of the same item today.
Cost: $22.98.
Increase: $1.80 / 8.5%
Good luck, Mr. Powell.
@PopTart- Yes, both parties gerrymander. That's why I voted for California's independent redistricting commission, which I believe has worked very fairly. And now our governor wants to "temporarily" shut down the commission for five years to offset …
Yes, I think that's true on at least one level. But how do we explain how roughly one-half of the voters in this country now admire and emulate our current "leader", and those vandals who he led to attack our Capitol? Did a large number of them just…
