He's completely set with pensions. And I am unsure if index funds were specifically ruled out. The article doesn't really detail his wealth, and there's no way someone with his intelligence and pragmatism has completely bungled his finances.

I'm just stating the absolute floor.

Whoever replaces Biden will still immediately get the "I would vote for a literal hamster instead of Trump" crowd which is like 40% of the nation.

There's a CVS near me with an obnoxious floodlight stand thing with speakers playing some message about how this parking lot is under surveillance. Nothing else like it in the area.

They don't care about hypocrisy.

I don't think this is going to energize anyone four months from now. Attention spans are too short.

Before 2016 I didn't know much about him aside from he's a rich dude with a golden tower who used to host a show. I can see someone not really paying attention i. 2016 and voting for him just because.

I hear this a lot. It's what gets me about the polling for this election being so close - in the last eight years, who has Trump actually attracted? Who exists that is like "I voted for Hillary and Biden, but I won't be fooled again!"

The learning really seems to go one way.

Most Trumpists have been duped by propagandists. It's more comforting to them to believe the fake news talking points than to admit "their guy" is actually a vile waste of skin.

I don't get why people are down voting you. This is exactly it. They have an infinite layer of lies on lies to spin all of this stuff.

It worked for me last year. Put 5% on a home near a major city, purchase price $425k

Some areas like LA are just a special kind of fucked, but you don't have to live there.
