From 2019

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/13/polit...ion/index.html

According to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute, more than 12 million people were "deported" - either removed or returned - from the US during the Clinton administration. More than 10 million were removed or returned during the Bush administration. Far fewer - more than 5 million - were removed or returned during the Obama administration.

Trump has sought to end Obama's program shielding undocumented young people from deportation and has reversed the trend on internal deportations as he's sought to remove more people, including those who have been in the country a long time.

However, Trump still has not reached anywhere near the level of interior removals as the early Obama administration, according to Cato's analysis of data through 2018.

Tim Walz assigns money (and instructions) for stuffing drugs up your butt. Truth, stranger than fiction.

Shhhhh. That information doesn't fit the narrative.

dedicating your career as a “journalist”, getting to ask the President a question and you can’t even ask a question properly.

In the 2020 election there were 155 million votes. There population in the US is about 335-345 million, which means that 45-46% of the population voted. Out of the total population there is supposedly 258 million adults which would mean that 60% of them voted. It will be interesting to see the numbers next week.

Everyone stay safe there will always be a few that are completely off their rocker, but my biggest concern is the average person that is just overly preoccupied.

Fairly high volume of trading over the past month. Price is still fairly low as compared to the IPO, and still about 34% below the 1 year high which was $79.38 back in March.





If you are interested in the ability of markets to predict political outcomes, you might enjoy listening to a recent episode of Freakonomics in which they explored the regulated market for what is effectively sports-betting for elections:

It's a decent listen if you can find the time.
