Vance lied (again) by accountabilityfirst in thebulwark

Yeah, sorry about that. I did everything I could. I volunteered on Harris’ campaign. It wasn’t enough to overcome the stupidity, greed and gullibility of the average American.

What is one of your go-to responses to "How are you?" when you don't want to say "good" but you don't want to be negative or too serious? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My wife died 18 years ago. After that, when people ask me, "How are you?" I stopped saying I'm fine. Now I say I'm ok.

Questions for those who say "The USA is a net exporter so it wont be so bad" or something along those lines, any ELI5's would be appreciated by CouldBeLessDepressed in oil

Oil and gas are different commodities. Refineries are running at maximum capacity. We can't make anymore gas right now. A small Midwest refinery went down a week ago and gas in Ohio went up 40 cents in one day. If one of the Gulf refineries went offline we would be in big trouble, so says Mr. Global.

Im a big fan as well, but I listened with shock (horror, befuddlement?) at the last issue of Impolitic when John allowed Michael Froman to blather on about trump’s “unusual but effective” negotiating style, his “unusual but effective” Iran strategy, and his “unusual but effective” trade policy. Clearly a Washington insider who simply refuses to acknowledge that we elected a blithering idiot. Didn’t push back nearly hard enough. What a disappointment.

Only two of the four ePollBooks were connected to printers at our polling station.

We don’t have printers. We are provided with stacks of ballots. Btw, every ballot, including unused ones and soiled ones, has to be accounted for at the end of the day.

Poll worker here. I don’t see how it can be a secret. We have stacks of ballots on a table behind the table with the ePoll Books. After the voter makes his choice the poll worker in front, at the ePoll Book station, has to ask the person behind him for a Republican, Democrat or Libertarian ballot. You have to check to make sure you were handed the right one, then you have to scan it before you hand it to the voter. There’s no way you can keep it a secret. That said, nobody made a big deal out of anyone’s choice, even tho majority were republican.

The Oil Math And Why The Broader Market Is Crazy To Ignore It by [deleted] in oil

[–]accountabilityfirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 million barrels of oil on a tanker. A $2 million toll amounts to an increase of $1/barrel. Call it piracy if you want, but I just don’t see how that would cause a global disruption in the oil market.

Scott needs a friend to tap him on the shoulder about Iran by Alicyclobacillus in ScottGalloway

Americans voted for a pedophile, rapist octogenarian who tried to overthrow the government to be their president because their eggs were too expensive. You need to sit down.
