If the story of Trump’s Daniels affair had come out during the primaries in 2016, would it have kept him from winning the GOP nomination? Or was he naive to think it mattered and needlessly wasted $130,000 and put himself in legal jeopardy for no benefit?

Ugh.

True or false: Humanity’s super power is cooperation, not competition.

This is what good policy does. Nudging markets towards long term goals.

Facts of the day: Average pay up 6.4% over the last year. Consumer prices up 4% (soon to be less than 3.5%) over the past year. That means workers are gaining buying power and disposable income. Bidenomics works.
