One might expect that 18-29 women demographic to be even higher this time around, given women's reproductive rights being a significant issue.

If they print enough money we'll see an inflationary effect...maybe they just didn't over do it?

Just to add to INow's answer, it's not just about the amount of money, printed and otherwise effectively out there, but how fast it circulates...along with a number of other factors that affect "the market".

Shocked to hear that...given that exactly none of them would be likely to claim a similarity...the Trump kool-aid doesn't include those ingredients...it's more towards accepting a pussy grabbing messiah here to deliver us from the evils of democracy...

A more recent and actual example in the border dispute region between India and China: To paraphrase Winston Churchill it is better to "stick stone" than to war war or nuke nuke... They got back to jaw jaw much quicker that way.

Water balloon fights in the summer. Snowball fights in the winter. No escalations to sticks and stones...

Trump built at least some of it and put a healthy markup on it, did he not? It's not his fault the current administration forgot to send Mexico the bill. Even if it had been included in the border bill he kiboshed he can hardly be blamed. Wasn't on his watch. Everything was wonderful and best ever with him as POTUS. If Trump says tariffs are good for the country who are these "economists" to question that?

It doesn't seem to be showing in the polls though, at least not overall nor in critical States. Or am I missing something? It seemed to be heading in the right direction for a while but seems otherwise lately.

How much worse does Trump need to act for it to be reflected negatively for him in the polls?

I'm not sure we are any more "moral" than many of the ancients that developed our religions. We just have more information to point at where they erred in some of their assumptions in the narratives they used to get their ideas across. I suspect most had a moral compass prior to the establishment of any current religion...and I suspect most bent it a bit when it suited them...

Yep, those illegal immigrants are driving house prices up so much they can only pay the mortgage by eating your pets....

Wouldn't this make you some kind of "Incel +" that should be executed? (Right after me perhaps for suggesting this)

Most agree with free enterprise...at least when they are buying... Most agree capitalism is a two edged sword that needs government constraints against abuse... But most also conflate the two...

Good points. Traders can of course gouge when they own the product but not the brand. You might hold it against them but not the brand if you can in the fiuture get it elsewhere. Seems odd that it could be that low for a typically marked up good, especially if compared to ones significantly higher marked up already.

@CharonY No drop in potency =/= allowable drop. You can claim an allowable drop of 5 or 10% is insignificant, except as you state...when it is, but you can't claim an allowable drop is not a drop. Not allowing any drop during shelf life would make many drugs unaffordable. If you can't understand that that would be detrimental to health care I can't help you. There is a reason with some drugs that the potency requirements are stricter at manufacture or release than at later times during their shelf life. Some degradation is expected, so time left to expiration date is a factor. This is a simple concept but feel free to continue to gaslight the Hell out of it.

It's well known the 19th hole is the clubhouse...when Trump's on the course, I think we know what the twentieth is...

Just as an aside, any general guideline that would require "no drop in potency" through the expiration date would, especially with regard to certain drugs, be of significant detriment to health care.

Again. That is not a blanket requirement in any link you provided, or quoted. Read and try to understand the wording. If you can't get passed that what's the point of my going through your other requests based on what you think I might be insinuating?

Me backpedalling? I was simply trying to help you out, as you were more factually incorrect than wrong. If you had taken the chance to add context you could have simply been more accurate, but instead doubled down with a narrative that you felt justified your position. Next time read what I posted and do less assuming.

Not necessarily. It depends on the nature and test protocol for the particular drug. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7040264/ "Medication's potency gradually decreases starting from the moment of its manufacture." While I'm not sure this is true in all cases it is certainly true generally. (For balance and/or more context) It continues: "This process is not in any way spontaneous after the expiry date. Expired drugs have not necessarily lost their potency and efficacy. The expiration date is only an assurance that the labeled potency will last at least until that date. Ongoing research shows that stored under optimal conditions, many drugs retain 90% of their potency for at least five years after the labeled expiration date, and sometimes longer. Even 10 years after the expiration date many pharmaceuticals retain a significant amount of their original potency.2 Solid dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules, are most stable past their expiration date. Drugs that exist in solution or as a reconstituted suspension may not have the required potency if used when outdated."

Thanks CharonY. If you read what you quoted you will realize it refers to allowable drop in quality, not no drop in quality.

Is this factually correct? I'm going to go out on a limb and claim you can't provide a link that peak quality is required to be maintained to that point in time.

He just needs to fire his advisors that he didn't listen to, and hire new ones he won't listen to. All will be good, because unlike Harris and the Biden administration he knows how to hold people accountable.

I guess Trump, having clearly won Tuesday's debate (personally I thought Harris handed him his ass...but then I might have just been suffering from the effects of eating too much dog and cat), has decided one debate with Harris is enough. From Trump on Truth Social (it must be true because truth is right there in the name) "When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.” Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate. She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class. Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe - It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS. KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!"

So if correct they have significantly more mass. Do they have more volume also? Proportionately or disproportionately?
