I’m all for boycots. I’ve purged my house from as many Disney products as possible (But I just reminded myself that I need to find an alternative to Hulu.)

Uh, Disney had a fantastic quarterly earnings in Q3. They're doing very well - it seems like the 'vocal' internet users boycotting Disney aren't the vast majority of Americans/people.

Cheney lost a Republican primary in one of the most Trump-voting states in the country.

I'm not sure you can read much more into it other than Republican primary voters like Trump.

It's hardly reflective of the general electorate - for starters, the general electorate will be be significantly different than a Republican primary in a deep red state i.e. the most Trump-y voters in America.

You think a crackhead got a job with a Ukrainian energy company while his father was in the White House all in his own?

Isn't this the point of *investigating*?

Much like the DoJ is investigating Trump, there is an investigation into Hunter Biden currently open.

This is the point of investigating. It shouldn't matter what I *think* because investigations aren't about what I personally think.

"Ok yes Hunter is a crackhead who is on tape committing dozens of crimes and who made foreign business deals solely because people wanted access to his VP-now-POTUS father. But no, there is no reason for anyone to worry about the fact that a known and compromised criminal is hanging out on AF1 with the POTUS all the time."

So punish Hunter then? I'm confused at your point.

The DoJ is investigating Hunter and if Hunter is guilty, he should be punished. Similarly, the DoJ should investigate if Trump is guilty.

How exactly does this support your point in any aspect?

College-educated whites and non-college-educated whites have a pretty big difference in obesity rates. You're lumping college-educated whites (a demographic that voted for Biden by over 22 points according to Pew) and non-college-educated whites (a demographic who voted for Trump by over 30 points). The difference between non-college-educated and college-educated whites is pretty significant - once you remove the college-educated white voters, the obesity rate becomes much more similar.

The link below shows you that college-educated voters were far less likely to be obese than non-college-educated voters (Figure 2).

College-educated women have half the obesity rate that non-college-educated women do. Similarly, college-educated men are far less likely to be obese than non-college-educated voters.

Democrats both have Black voters who are more likely to be obese but they also have college-educated white voters and Asian voters who were some of the least likely to be obese people.

Maybe with...how do you define "investor"?

To be fair, calling yourself an investor if you're a trader would trigger anyone who works at an investment firm and calls themselves an investor.

It's borderline idiotic but my firm pretty much doesn't hire people who call themselves traders or say they 'trade' lol. People who work in buy-side asset management get very bitter/salty when people call themselves investors when they trade, not invest.

I didn't check Bloomberg today but I'll log into the firm's terminal tomorrow.

I suspect net investment flow is positive over the past month in regards to equities - on the whole, investors aren't liquidating their equity positions.

Picking out individual investors liquidating certain portions of their portfolio doesn't mean anything. Michael Burry is pretty much a joke in the investment community - he got 2008 right and has been wrong ever since.

In my opinion, if you look at FED projections, GDP expectations are positive for this quarter so most firms are not pricing in recessions or contractions in real GDP. A reduction in consumer spending this quarter will be counteracted by an increase in government spending.
