I live in Nashville. I discuss politics here very...sparingly.

If you are worried about your job why are you voting for the clown that wants to stop drilling and hurt our industry?
I’d follow up and also ask: If you are such a concerned lib, why are you ok with making money in oil and gas?
So many of these types claim a position to feel good about themselves, but when it comes to getting paid have zero conviction.
And hey...that’s fine with me, go make money off fossil fuels! I love oil and gas and burning them both! But all you supposed libs that work in the biz please spare me the insufferable sanctimony. You look and sound like hypocritical idiots.

Now for fracking? I missed that one.
Me too. I’d love a source that says the Dems are FOR fracking...not just saying, “Well, we can’t ditch it, YET.”

I am pretty sure it is still illegal for Vegas to take wagers on elections. But they can set odds. Bets are taken in offshore accounts I had Trump at +500 last year and then bet about 8 states at different odds. But unless things have changed Vegas is just putting out odds and cant take bets
So Vegas adjusts the line based on offshore accounts? Or is it just some BS model (like we need another one of those)?

That looking at the size of Trumps rallies compared to Biden's is a bad measure of who is gonna win the election. Democrats are obviously more worried about the pandemic than most Trump supporters.
Yet Democrats have no problem attending “peaceful protests.”
If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that people will show up in person for whatever fires them up, pandemic be damned.
How do you explain Dems willing to pack the streets in May/June/July...but not show up to support their Democratic nominee...at all?? It can’t be pandemic fear, behavior over the summer simply doesn’t support that.

Democrats aren't going to rallies because of the pandemic.
So...Dems are just at home...passionately providing poll responses? What’s your point?

Right...but the current line would indicate that many people have bet on Biden, yes?
So then: Are people really so tunnel-visioned as to only focus on MSM polls to influence the bets they place with their hard earned cash?! There is literally NOTHING else I see that indicates a Biden victory.

Wider...I would be guessing.
Different year, different circumstances though. I’d expect the incumbent not to be up against this line.
Trump’s ground game has seemed STRONG too, I just don’t see how people are putting their money on Harris/Biden at this point, regardless of political affiliation.

Vegas Odds For The Election
Posted by dreigh on 10/12/20 at 10:55 pm
As of now:
Biden: -200
Trump: +170
Is Vegas only looking at polls or something? Based on perceived enthusiasm on the ground for each of these candidates, this line is a bit surprising in its leaning towards Biden.
Maybe I just don't get Vegas lines though...I've never bet on anything before.

Why is it worthless?
There will be much, MUCH more $$$ than goods and services available to purchase with that $$$. AKA: Runaway inflation.
Newsom is effectively throwing shite at the walk with this EO and probably not even looking to see if it sticks.
An ideological promise made through EO when this joker won’t even be in office when it takes effect is nothing more than self-serving pandering to his base.
The most populous state in the union ain’t forcing 100% EVs when their grid is already in shambles.
If they really want to double down and make this reality, they’ll serve as a fine example for the rest of us of how to more fully wreck the infrastructure that taxpayers pay for and depend on.

Chrome, as a daily visitor to this thread since March, I just want to say what many have already said here: Thank you so much for contributing your time, sweat, gifts, and talents to give us a place to receive and easily digest the virus-related data that makes its way into our world each day.
I'm very grateful for how straightforward you have been with your commentary on trends and have helped make everyone who visits this thread smarter consumers of the information that is being used to make important decisions in our states and the country at large.
The tone around here is often hopeful and positively focused (whenever possible) without denying the gravity of what's going on, which is so refreshing when it comes to the subject of the Coronavirus given how polarizing it has been for our country.
Again, thank you for creating an amazing tool for us to use each day and for helping create this corner of the internet in 2020.

2. A potential reduction in the gift tax exemption and potential elimination of annual exclusion gifts
This is the first link I have seen that says anything about elimination of annual exclusion gifts. I can see a reduction in the annual exclusion gift amount, but an outright elimination would surprise me. I've looked through some longer write-ups on Biden's tax proposal and just haven't seen any mention of the annual exclusion anywhere.
To be clear: I do NOT support Biden's tax plan, I just haven't seen anything yet that corroborates the above potential 'grave consequence.'

I probably understand the point he would be making and probably mostly agree but hearing him say it would probably drive me to disagree with him.
You disagree with someone because of how they talk?
I hope you find someone who doesn’t hurt your ears and says things nicely the way you like.

Just goes to show that if The Advocate is willing to write a piece like this, it really is one of the dumbest ideas in the Democratic agenda.

Article from The Advocate...

From the article:
“Ever practical, Biden politically seeks to emphasize creating new jobs in renewable energy production. We’re not opposed, but finding the number of high-paying positions available in oil and gas from the renewable sector is not very likely.
Nor does it say much good that one of America’s great political parties cannot read the figures showing oil and gas remains central to the economies of our nation and the entire world.“
