Have no fear! The Dems will do their level best to cause as much more damage as they can before their turn over the reins to the new administration.

And then blame the faltering economy on Trump.

Health & Wealth.

• Lifespan decreased TWO (2) years for Americans during Biden/Harris.

• Inflation ripped through every household while money was visibly thrown at Ukraine & other causes no average person cares about.

• Crime on the street is palpably higher, not only because of broken windows & dog poop, but the broken border.

#MAGA & #MAHA, —make sense to Joe the Plumber & to the Amish!

You mean that perhaps not everyone is going to let themselves become a brain dead super consumer forever? Nothing wrong with cutting back on buying future garage sale/donation items and saving a few bucks for special purchases or more difficult times.

So... Is this just a temporary market correction after the pandemic spending sugar rush has finally run its course, something we just need to ride out, or does this all point to structural flaws in our economy that urgently need to be addressed or things will get worse?

Regarding the video clip, the woman that's speaking (and I don't even know her name because I spend no time watching or caring about that show) what is she even doing on that show? Seems like she doesn't belong there.

Normally don't view video clips or tge View. You made me watch: wow, she's spot on, and her accurate comments seem to further drive the rest of the panel into shocked depression.

Hi, Justin. I'm still catching up on e-mails, but since you are a demographer, I wonder if you are planning to do a deep dive on exit polls when the good ones come out. I'm curious as to your thoughts on why Gen X stood out as so much more pro-Trump than other age groups. I'm also curious about turnout % by age. Gen X is still largely working, so I don't buy the explanation that high prices/inflation/economy were the main reason Trump won. The Democrats who voted thought Kamala was the better person on economic issues because inflation came down. I could totally be wrong in my belief that Trump won because of the Left's insane culture policies, but that's why I am asking what does the data say? Thank you.

I would be interested in knowing how this squares with the post election optimism of the markets.
