Yeh, and that's why many of my offshore colleagues cannot understand why the UK voted labour. If you cannot afford anything and are slowly dying, you don't care about anything else.

And isn't that a pointed indictment of the societies that are permitted to exist.

I can’t get my head round the appeal of Elon Musk. Whenever I hear him speak I just think he sounds extremely awkward and a dreadful public speaker, almost Truss-esque. Yet a scary number of people seem to hang on his every word and consider him a genius.

That's because people often confuse having a certain amount of business success through whatever method and therefore having money with being smart.

In normal times you could sit back and watch this with some popcorn as they self implode with either result, but when this has a pretty big impact on both Ukraine and the Middle East it's worrying how close it is.

It's not normal that a felon is running for POTUS.  Even without the global implications, I would be heavily slanted towards the other candidate.

I travel quite a bit with my job.. about 100 miles a day and already the roads are CRAZY BUSY in this area and it’s only 7:50am.

The only interview where i've heard a semi logical reason for anyone voting for Trump was a group of truckers saying they were financially better off under Trump than they were under Biden.

 

Given world events over the past four years how much of that is down to Biden is debatable.

Wonder what will make it kick off more, a Trump win or a Trump loss? Probably a loss I'm guessing.

Got the Fox live coverage on in the background but it’s driving me mad. Too much shouting.

Given the last time he lost he incited an insurrection, I'd say so. 

 

Bloke's one step away from calling for his supporters to arm themselves and march to the White House.

Short term, Loss.

Longer term, Win.

If Trump wins, the Ukraine war ends pretty fast (which is bad and good given the trajectory) but I dread to think what happens in the Middle East, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that he nukes Iran.

An electoral district where there are only 6 voters, absolute joke of a country.

I don’t think we are in a position to criticise another’s with our system still not up to scratch

He won’t nuke them 

he’ll just bomb the f### out of their program which is mainly underground 

 

B52’s have already been sent to the region on the basis that the Iranian air defence systems were pretty much neutralised a week or so back (not convinced that Biden wouldn’t be too bothered about doing the same if Iran goes over the top on their next salvo )

 

question - if trump wins, does the current administration continue with their existing policy until he’s sworn in ?  I mean who is calling the shots over the next few months if the republicans win?

So Joe Rogan came out and endorsed Trump last night. It’s no big surprise, but young men is one target audience Trump has put a lot of effort into voting and it’s one area that has not participated in early voting much. He’s got millions of followers but I doubt it will make much of a difference on a national scale as I’d imagine most of them were planning on voting for him anyway..

The only surprise is that it took him so long in doing so.

 

If he really wanted it to make a difference surely he’d have endorsed him weeks ago not the day before voting
