You can ask "what if?" all you want, but that doesn't make your imagined alternative real. The news media calls states when they're confident in the outcome. Show me somewhere they got it wrong

Ok doomer. My wife and I are both solidly millennials who bought a house in the 2010s for $230K then refinanced in 2021 at the lowest interest rate, so we have a very affordable payment. Interest rates will go back down again, and home prices in my city are well off their 2023 peak and continuing to trend down

I want the US government to have your friends' backs when they want to unionize and bargain for higher wages and a pension, which is why I'm voting Harris/Walz

This was the worst October ever here in Texas. The high was above 90 almost every day, and not a single drop of rain for the entire month, when it's usually our fall rainy season.

This is well within the margin of error and not worth this headline

Their currency is so worthless they can't afford to import anything, so this makes sense.

Sure, YOY inflation is over 200%, the poverty rate is almost 60% of the Argentinian people, and the unemployment rate is all but unmeasurable as millions of people have moved to working in the underground economy, but hey, we got a trade surplus, so the titans of industry can still get theirs!

Don't forget the chronic defunding of public schools, leading to less individualized attention and overall lower quality of staff

Unfortunately these things play out over decades rather than months 😩
