I retired in January. Was asked to return part-time in July. We are directly related to the auto industry. On furlough this week and the week of Christmas. Our son works in a foam plant. They are on furlough next week. I don't think people will have confidence to make major purchases until Trump has had some time to work his magic.
Saw an article yesterday that Georgia had record turnout when early voting opened. What would they do with all the Harris votes? Asking for a friend. I know chaos and ignoring laws mean nothing to a leftist. But it is an issue they'd have to address.

I've always called it 60 Lies a Minute.
