It is the Economy Stupid

[Austrian Economics]

Two points I want to make about the Covid curve:

First off, trying to micromanage human affairs the way nearly every government on earth is trying to do has about the same chance of success as herding cats. If anyone can come up with a way to do that efficiently, let me know.

Secondly, flattening the curve and eliminating the virus are two completely different things. The former does not necessarily result in the latter as we are clearly seeing, even though most people believe it does. Or at least they want to believe it. They are going to be disappointed, over and over and over again.

Socialism works until you run out of everyone else’s money. There is a reckoning coming and it will change lives. Not in a good way.
Trump bad of course. All Trumps fault.

The US does not need any more stimulus packages. They just need to reduce regulations and let the free market do what it needs to do. Focus needs to be on servicing debt in the future and managing it properly. The spike in virus cases goes down next Wednesday so that will take care of itself. There still is hope that the US will survive. Don't screw up next Tuesday America. That drops to zero for every other nation on the planet.

He was talking about Amy Coney Barrett. She has 7 children, 2 of which are adopted from Haiti and are black.

But according to the left side of the political spectrum she only adopted them to prove she is not a racist and advance her career and was wrong to take them away from their families. Thats how screwed up these people are. Try and twist anything they can to be white or right person bad.

I know who was referred to that has no relevance in how she’s going to vote on the black issue it’s become political not a human issue right extreme vs left extreme. That’s why it won’t be easily to be solved. That’s how everyone will take it.

Republican presidents have appointed 12 (i think) of the last 15 supreme court justices... And yet, blacks aren't in chains, and women can still have abortions. Even the latest two justices didn't side with "the right" in a multitude of recent decisions.

Interestingly and ironically the only thing which could defeat trumpet is his pushing of the Supreme Court justice nominee. Black Americans turning out in large numbers in response to the selection.

The covid economy has all kinds of opinions on it I don’t think it will sway enough people either way. But the idea of a loaded up right wing judicial system does seem to be hitting home.

A juistification for stock market moves is always assigned in hindsight, and often contradictory.
But in this case, could this be the market selling off on the realization that there could be a Biden victory, and that they may actually intend to keep their promises?
And if so, the question is where would investors take their money if the US is no longer open for business, I'm drawing a blank on this question.
