Wait a moment....

"Work from home is here to stay, US data shows"

"Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O"

Even 20 minutes seems like too long, but that would still be wonderful.

I understand this impulse. It is popular to demonize people on the other side, and truthfully, their voting for Trump in the past is a severe issue. They once in a while ask me for computer help, but this whole matter has made me reluctant to do it.

I'm not going to call them good people because voting for Trump has identified them as not being among those. But in some ways they're decent? They don't think they're evil. They don't stab people in the back personally. They work hard. They're honest face-to-face. it's mostly on the national stage that their odious beliefs are brought out.

There are lots of people like that here. I feel like, if they can be brought to see, viscerally, what the effects of their political decisions are, that could be the breaking point that changes their political beliefs. January 6th might have been one such event.

Not voting for the opponent in a two-party race is like a half vote for the other guy, but wouldn't it be nice if they came around and gave Biden a full vote each?

And yet, that is what those models claim to do. If the possibility of late-breaking events is not included in the model then the model is flawed.

A friend of mine has right-wing parents who were Trump boosters in 2016. He says that January 6th left them aghast, and they aren't supporting him now. That's just two people sure, and this is entirely anecdotal, but it might be indicative of how the wind is blowing.

What is the counterpoint elsewhere on the page? "Donald Trump Must Be Allowed To Destroy Us All?"

They also hate the idea of phone trees. Companies don't care unless we make them not care.

Doom, for multiple reasons.

I have questions about how useful the basic information Dominos gets from me from their app will be to anyone. Android doesn't let them just harvest roaming data any more.

Remember, Nate Silver predicted that Hillary Clinton would win in 2016, and when Trump won instead, it was chalked up to the fact that it really was a random chance.

Don't panic about this. Keep quiet and keep doing the work to get Trump thrown out. And charge your mental health bills to the Democrats, for putting up an old man up for election in 2020, one who's even older than Trump, in the first place.

I used to work at a Dominos, and their side items have been ludicrously priced for a good while. There's usually a "coupon" in their app with a substantial discount on pizza, it's the only way I'd order from them.
