    Yeah, maybe the investors. But that doesn't explain why all these "economists" are going for biden. Maybe they think he has the better idea? What's his latest position on shutting down the country? Those "economists" on board with doing that again? How about shutting down the economy in the midst of an artificially induced recession AND raising taxes at the same time? Are these chinese economists?

    Joe's not President yet, Trump is.

    Trump has waived the white flag on COVID because he is too lazy and too uninspired to do anything about it.

    230,000+ deaths, all thanks to you.

    He does have a better idea.

    Mark Zandi confirms it:

    Three reasons why a Biden win could be good for the U.S. economy: Moody’s Zandi
    A Biden win could bring 7.4 million more jobs than a Drumpf win, according to Moody’s Analytics. Mark Zandi, Moody’s Analytics chief economist, joins ‘Power Lunch’ to discuss the forecast and explain the difference between the various election scenarios.

    They're going with Biden because he has actual plans.


    What's his latest position on shutting down the country?
    His position is to listen to what the scientists and doctors recommend, not what Wall Street wants.


    How about shutting down the economy in the midst of an artificially induced recession
    This current Conservative recession started in FEBRUARY, before the lockdowns....

    It's official: Recession began in February, ending longest U.S. expansion ever
    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/united-...rted-february/

    COVID isn't the reason the economy plunged into a recession, the tax cut was.


    Are these chinese economists?
    No...none of them have secret bank accounts with China like Trump does.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Experts and investors both are going for the candidate that they feel is most likely to take steps to deal with getting the pandemic under control. Right now we have an IMPOTUS running around spreading it, rather than mitigating it.

    At least they are doing something. Trump is campaigning while Corona is accelerating. He is supposed to be president now. He has work to do. He again is showing all, what he really cares about, himself. Too bad, you cannot get the message. Trump's ignoring Corona is putting is in serious trouble.
    His incompetence is putting lockdowns in our future.

    Just a public service message to you two. You are on my ignore list, I didn't see your replies here, but I'm pretty sure katzgar accused me of being on some kind of drug, either recreational or prescribed for a mental affliction, and LV426, you probably said something about having teabags stapled to my forehead. This kind of thing is not useful to me. Of course, feel free to ignore me also.

    Any sane economist should go to legitimate presidential hopeful Mr. Biden who was part of President Obama's team as Vice President that spared the global economy from a second great depression as a result of atrocities committed by the former Dubya republican administration.
