Personally, I honestly don't know because there are far too many variables, such as cheating along with a possible late 'October Surprise.' But, if I absolutely had to make a choice, I'd lean towards picking Trump due to the energy factor, which appears to have shifted dramatically towards Trump. Another is that Trump has a slight lead in the national popular vote numbers; a true rarity for modern day Republican Presidential candidates. That indicates to me that, if true, the Trump numbers must be quite high in the battleground states in order to overcome the big popular vote numbers in California, New York, Illinois & the New England states. Obviously, if he wins a slight majority of the battleground states, he wins the election.

I'll go out on a limb and call it for Trump. What's your take?

You guys realize the only way for inflation to get under control right….

Lots of huge asset drops, job losses, and pain…. Trump isn’t going to have a fun presidency if he accomplishes his goal of lower inflation. He will be battling runaway deflation. We’ve reached the point of total reset or kick the can and hope for a breakthrough like fusion energy or AI take over to magically fix everything via universal income prosperity.

You know how you get housing inflation under control? Repatriate 20 million illegal non-citizens, and ban investment bank speculation in the domestic housing market (bring back Glass-Steagall). No more BlackRock, Blackstone Group, Vanguard et al buying so much housing, they’re on pace to own 40% of the domestic market by 2030. Especially with BlackRock’s access to Federal Reserve printing. It’s a small club, and you ain’t in it.

Additionally, prevent Section 8 from paying more than market rents, and pricing out locals (who also have the privilege of living by Sec 8 recipients).

Whatever, I don’t care anymore,

Why do you want to vote for Dick Cheney?
Ignorance and apathy is a deadly combination

But most people got something positive out of the pandemic reset that they don’t want to give up. My industry got to work from home forever… and isn’t going back to occupy high priced real estate cubicles.

Yeah and it's resulted in inflation because of less production and management. I hate the corporate structure. I won't go into an office again. But 80% of Americans NEED that structure. WFH won't work long term. It can for a select few.

There are too many distractions on a computer. Social media, shopping, porn, etc. I get done what I need and like I said, semi retired. It's not realistic to work from home at 100%. Can you work at 80%? Sure. But then you need to hire someone to fill that 20% gap. It's likely closer to 50% though.

Covid to win an election has resulted in a lazy work force. Unless you're the rainmaker the company you work for will lose money with work from home. You then have to work harder or go back to the office.
