In 2020 Florida was only won by 3.5%. That isn't large enough to be considered a safe state. Now you could argue that it has shifted a good deal one way, and that may be true. It's also worth mentioning Florida has about 0% chance at being the tipping point state. If Florida is even close to turning blue Harris already won, and the closer sunbelt and southern states like NC and Georgia likely have already gone blue as well.

If anything boosting Democrat enthusiasm in the state means more to helping lower elections than it would have an affect on the top of the ticket.

Coming from someone that was using ~~yourfired~~ MAGA2020! Passwords it was pretty obvious IT security hasn't been a high priority.

If they're still working full time, then it isn't retirement. Retirement is an economic situation, not an age.

It's not that surprising when you look at the numbers. Average retirement savings accounts for those on their 60s is around 600k, but median is around 200k. Meaning some people are doing really well, but most won't have much. Average retirement age is low 60s, and average lifespan for a60 year old is about 20 years. A 4% withdrawal for the average retirement account and roughly 2k per month SS check is about 50k per year before taxes. Not great but you can survive on that, but then look at the median and this drops to a bit over 30k. That would be tough, especially if you don't own your home or have major expenses like Healthcare.

Well, he's an election denying Maga billionaires' toady, that lacks any charisma, trashes where he came from and then hitches himself to someone he previously denounced in an effort to gain political power. Oh and he wants to completely ban abortion. He's an unlikable political opportunist. It's no wonder that the publics opinion of him will continue to drop.

For those that are curious their final polling for 2020 had Trump+1 but the actual popular vote Biden had 9% more votes than Trump.

Unfortunate for the passengers that they couldn't arrest him in Dallas, or wait for the return flight to Houston and pick him up after.

Looks interesting. Might give the demo a go on steam, and wait for it to leave early access if I enjoy it.

Atleast her selection gave us quality pornography like Who's Nailin' Paylin? What would JD give us, just a creep molesting furnature.

It really feels like they developed a revenue stream prior to developing a product. All we've heard is some "Ai features" would be a subscription service, but their software has been preety universally mid at best, and AI is starting to see some backlash. We are seeing companies try to cram AI into everything even when it has no purpose being there. I get the feeling that companies are starting to catch onto this AI investments have become ridiculously expensive and have provided nearly zero additional value to their products and services.

One thing to note is pac money is less efficient than campaign money. Campaigns get the lowest rate for advertisements while pacs pay market rate. Super pacs technically can't coordinate with campaigns so there isn't a unified message, however the FEC is pretty toothless so any coordination would likely have to be very blatant for action to be taken. Their advertisements can also be overly biased by their ultra wealthy donors, ie something that musk cares about a lot may not have significant sway on the public which can cause said ad to be wasted.

Exactly. SS is too popular. There will be some sort of reform/funding, but congress will wait to the least minute to fix a problem. See any sort of continuing resolution government funding bill or the last time SS had problems back in the 80s. The '83 reform only occurred a mere months prior to insolvency. The fact that SS is still years/decades from major problems means it's someone else's problem to our elected representatives.

The newest revision of the prius has an option for rooftop solar. The break even point is relatively long, in the 5-8 year time frame iirc. The energy generation isn't massive; at 185w it won't substantially extend the range something like 5 miles per day.
