On another, but related level, I would like to say that I have never in my 61 years of living, read such absolute junk as I have on the political threads of SI. These threads are primarily cheerleading groupie threads, whether they be left or right. They are a disgrace.
It resembles professional sports. If your team loses an election there is always next year.
If an R switches to D he is welcomed with open arms and likewise if a D switches to R.
In sports, nothing is ever "done" and the next season will be a repeat of last season and the same as 20 years ago.

the rise in the stock market since August 1982 from under 1000 on the Dow to over 16,000 today has been highly inflationary. J6P has hardly profited from this rise. The Rich have gotten much richer primarily from the rise in the stock market

From 1942-65 the DOW went up nine fold. Was also the best of times for J6P. Income and wealth was much more equally divided. RE prices in NYC were quite affordable, costs of living in sync with incomes..
