Ummm...no. The net is (1-.314)*1.331 = 0.914, so (1-.914)*100 = 8.6% down net.

Yeah, a jail scenario is entertaining.

The US will approve the AstraZenaca vaccine, and it will become the most widely used.

6C/42F. Lovely weather for a few water cannon trucks.

Ossoff need only 54% of the remaining votes, in order to exceed the margin which would allow the loser to request a recount. Given the counties with remaining votes, that seem likely, if not assured.

25th could be completed today.

If so, I hope it was as Lindsey Graham said. “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you,”

That was my concern, even more than legislation.

Some people cannot see next week, much less 4 years from now.

14th amendment. Time to do some purging. Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Now, Donald can feel good again. Turns out, Georgia is a "blue" state, so no wonder Biden won. And hey, both R Senatorial candidates lost by more than he did.

Washington, DC doesn't have any "state" laws. All of the courts, even local ones, are federal. So, Trump could pardon the PB offender, if he wanted.

3.8 million RNs in the US, with ~84% of them working as nurses. There are another 1 million licensed practical nurses, 250k physical therapists, 200k dentists, 150k dental hygenists, etc. The people cleaning up between patients, taking meals to patient rooms, etc also have pretty direct contact.

Where do you get that? Kaiser in 2018 put it at 16.8 million, not including self-employed workers.

There was a man from Kent whose virus' sequence was bent. It made one no sicker, but passed on much quicker, so faster and faster it went.

Judge tossed it out. No surprise.

Following the teachings of Jesus.

One day, this could solve the helium shortage.

60% of new cases in London, and has spread to all districts of Wales. People crowding on trains to leave London before lock down are spreading it everywhere. If you are going to watch past the intro/bottom line, I suggest a playback speed of 1.25 or faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MINIibH2Iaw

I'm guessing that the basketball player with the exact same first/middle/last name, and almost the same age, isn't too glad about this either.

For those of you who itemize tax deductions, gifts of appreciated assets such as stocks are particularly advantageous. For example, I have stock which is worth 8x what I paid for it. I can donate some shares directly to a qualifying agency, and deduct the appreciated amount on Schedule A. e.g., if I donate stock that I paid $250 for, I can deduct the current value of $2000 on the itemized list, never having paid tax on $1750 of gains. Even if you take the standard deduction, this is still advantageous. If I were to sell the stock and then donate cash, I would have to pay taxes on the gain, thus reducing available funds to donate. It would also increase taxes on my wife's Social Security income. Most large and middle sized charities are probably set up to received stock gifts. My local food bank, where more than half of my giving went this year, is not set up for such. It will take a few days (or more) to process though the system, so do it now if you want it to fall into tax year 2020. I wish that this had occurred to me when I still had income, before I retired. Now, I don't much pay income taxes anyway.

Okay, now that the Electoral College has voted, it is time to put differences aside and come together as a great nation.

Not over yet!

He likely already had his pardon, before he stated that there was no election fraud.
