"Why didn't every state get to vote" is possibly the dumbest take ever on Biden/Sanders - Reagen Apr 8, 15:54 20
- Once again. I didn't get to even have a say in what candidate I wanted. I hate this fucking process with a passion. HATE!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 8, 16:35 12
  - I'm okay with my state not being instrumental. I just don't want it to always be the same states first. It should be swing states first. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 16:44 11
    - I'd go with the groups idea, and start with NJ first because it's pretty close to the same racial demo of the total U.S. - Max Apr 8, 17:28

        None of the things they hit her with in '16 existed in '08 (or would have been cared about to the same extent). -- (edited) - Reagen Apr 8, 17:02
        
        We might not have Trump with that method. -- nm - Bacon Apr 8, 16:58 2
        
        But you’d have VP Sarah Palin. - spamlet Apr 8, 16:59 1
        
        This is my honest answer. If that is what the country decided and not just a handful of early states like always. I am fine with it. - Bacon Apr 8, 17:03

- It's a worthwhile point to the extent of discussing how our primary calendars work. - ty97 Apr 8, 15:56 1

- Then you call and tip off the fund manager. Smart. -- nm - VMan Apr 8, 15:51
- it's also one of the reasons why you'll never be a Senator or President. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 15:43 1
  - Very far down the list of reasons I'm sure -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 15:44

- What if he said aspirin? Do you still have aspirin? He can make this work. -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:45 2
  - What if he said "The cure to COVID 19 is to be nice to people and stay off social media." -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 16:04 1
    - I don't think he'd say something that alienated his diehard supporters. -- nm - David Apr 8, 16:06
- Because you bought it all and are going to share with us? -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 15:39 1

- Yup. Shocker. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 8, 15:31 10
  - It’s an index fund. It literally owns everything. -- nm - spamlet Apr 8, 15:32 9
    - That was znu's point. Though is it an S&P 500 index vs a biotech/pharma index? Slightly different angle there. - ty97 Apr 8, 15:36 1
      - Here’s the article. -- (link) - znufrii Apr 8, 15:41
    - Exactly. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 15:33 2
      - I wish people could keep their eyes on the prize and not chase all the stuff that doesn’t matter. -- nm - spamlet Apr 8, 15:58 1
        
        LOL. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 16:02
    - What I read had it a little more specific than that, but I realize that’s the purpose of an index. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 8, 15:33 3
      - The story I saw led with him holding as much as $450 worth of Sanofi through one mutual fund. OMG!!! -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 8, 15:37 2
        
        He had the head of Sanofi in China meet with him and the Chinese premier last year. He's all over them. -- nm* - jnine Apr 8, 15:47 1
        
        Then lead with that, not with his trivial second-hand stock exposure, ffs. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 8, 16:03
Interesting. Sanders dropping out has boosted health insurance stocks. - Volnelk Apr 8, 15:29 1
- Sanders is more likely to consider single payer solutions, which hurt the industry, Biden is more likely to play ball like Obamacare did -- nm - rollo Apr 8, 15:34
It's literally the first thing you learn as a professional ... it's not about assigning blame it's about solving problems -- nm - rollo Apr 8, 15:27
RC, and he was still struggling with Republican buy in at that point - Reagen Apr 8, 15:23 2
- Absolutely. But my point is that polls are virtually meaningless this far out from election day (if not arguably meaningless overall). - ReluctantCynic Apr 8, 16:03 1
  - Results can change - polls are descriptive, not predictive and Black Swans abound. But polls have performed well when we have enough data. - Reagen Apr 8, 16:05

    - I've got to say though that Palladium and Chromium are pretty and worthy of a mention. -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 15:52 6
      - and Bronze has that old time pantheistic feeling -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 15:53 5
        
        *taps No Alloys sign* -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 15:58 4
        
        Transitions? Only Alkalis? Who's writing the rules? -- nm - VMan Apr 8, 16:04 3
        
        Pfft, if you wanna go with something pedestrian like sodium, be my guest. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 16:06 2
        
        Your racism is showing. Probably don't even recognize Metalloids. ;) -- nm - VMan Apr 8, 16:08 1

- Canada, I knew it -- nm - budice Apr 8, 15:20 2
  - California dude. We should tell Trump we'll sell our antibodies to the Feds. at market price of course. Got to make a profit. -- nm - jnine Apr 8, 15:25 1
    - i know cali, was kiddin :) -- nm - budice Apr 8, 15:42

- Zinc does help with your immune system, but it's not going to stop the virus. -- nm - jnine Apr 8, 15:16 6
  - MSNBC's doctor just said "The comments about zinc were mystifying". But I know what will sell out next at my store. -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 15:19 5
    - One thing my HS biology teacher said that stuck with me - unless you have a specific diagnosed deficiency, supplements are a great way - Reagen Apr 8, 15:30 2
      - It's hard to get enough zinc from food. I stopped getting cold after I started taking it regularly, when I stop for an extended time, I get them again - jnine Apr 8, 15:44
      - A very succinct way of putting that. I like it. -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 15:40
    - I take it every night. -- nm - jnine Apr 8, 15:26
