@nicksortor Why are the Fairfax and Richmond City vote % in so low compared to the rest of the counties at this point? Honest question.

@DKThomp Love to see real debate grounded in respect. Nice work!

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

Just got my copy — looking forward to it @NickTimiraos!

@60Minutes Interest rates are not falling

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

@pcvale Right. This is just one. I have yet to see any genuine attempt at Rs trying to convince voters that Ds have bad ideas.

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

The obvious problem with taxing unrealized gains is that, once in place, it’s unlikely to ever be removed, and thus it will inevitably lead to more wealth taxes across incomes levels and types...

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

@pcvale My point is, Rs don’t have any credible voices to market this — to put it in basic terms… they’d rather throw around slurs than actually debate the real issues people deal with and how this is obviously connected

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

@pcvale I agree that it’s more palatable if you label it a billionaire tax. Tye reality is that it’s a property tax on an asset that was never previously taxed. A majority of Americans understand property taxes and they hate them...

It’s really hard to win the main event if you can’t win the small, easy ones along the way

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

But alas, I don’t think Rs have anyone trustworthy enough with centrist Americans to campaign on this…

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

Swing Voters: “We want to see your policies.”

Centrist Dems: “No you don’t.”

Got to love a populist presidential campaign.

Expect more terrible ideas this election season from both candidates.

Vote for who’s less bad.

Grocery stores make almost no profit. Regular Americans can afford more groceries than in 2019. Grocery inflation has been around 0 for almost two years.

Price controls on groceries are a bad idea in response to a problem that doesn't exist.

@Noahpinion If you mean actually listening through your device, you’re correct!

If you’re referring to the platform’s features, just know this is beta and the monetization model will change it.

Cautiously optimistic?

The @FDICgov paid out billions in loss share agreements with failed bank purchasers…

Depositors didn’t flee…

I imagine most depositors will be made whole, but I haven’t done the research. Surely someone will that does bank analysis for a living.

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

Has anyone done research into the 465 bank failures bw 2008-2012?

I imagine some have @SPGMarketIntel

How much of the uninsured deposits we’re paid through @FDICgov dividends then?

[Patrick Sims @Patrick_J_Sims]

@NickTimiraos Am I reading correctly that 100% of deposits were covered by @FDICgov in the 2008 Washington Mutual failure over two dividends?

If #SVB investors are curious how much each dividend will be, why not look at the last crisis when 465 failed.
