    I must confess — I don't understand the NYT's needle for national popular vote. Trump is 4 million ahead with California, Washington and Oregon to come.

    Is this over?
    NYT needle still has Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania toss ups. They will decide the election now almost certainly and Harris as of now leads 2/3 of them, with Wisconsin now having Trump fractionally ahead by 0.5%

    I thought about lumping on Harris for that one. Sometimes the profit is in the bets you don't make.

    I just can’t fathom looking and listening to Trump and, regardless of Harris’s quality, deciding that he’s fit to he president. Madness.

    One things for sure, no one will be talking about Ann Selzer being the polling gold standard at the next election

    She was just unlucky that this poll was one of the one in twenty that’s an outlier.
  • DoctorGDoctorG Posts: 38

    If you believe the NYT needle then Trump is going to get a bigger win in both ECV and popular vote terms over Harris than he did over Clinton

    Surely he is favourite to win popular vote now? Especially if he claws back some of the 5 million deficit in California

    $15 is not an uncommon amount for a McDs meal now. Fast Food prices have gone insane. Five Guys is like $30. Combination of food inflation and large minimum wage increases, some states have made minimum wage $15 or $20.

    And historically fast food in the US was incredibly cheap. The $1 menu was a staple of so many places, $5 meal, etc. When I first started going to the US regularly, I was shocked how much people eat out, often most meals of the day, but because so cheap.

    It doesn't really make much difference. Trump doesn't care about the rest of the world outside the US, he doesn't even care about Americans in blue states really. He wants to make America great again through massive tariffs on imports and American isolationism otherwise on the whole in foreign policy beyond support for Israel

    Professionals, yes, can be 2-3x the same corporate job in the UK. But the problem is the middle, regular jobs, they are terribly squeezed, much higher food costs, higher rents, constant tips.

    On the professional end, the upside can also be crazy high e.g. OpenAI devs get on average $1 million comp, DeepMind in London aren't getting that, more like £150-200k. Trying to earn much more than that in the UK, you have to start a business or be CEO. US you can earning many $100k's and not be leadership.
