If there is one thing I learned designing Quantitative Analysis software for Wall Street for decades (which I don't believe is of great value) it is that studying past behaviors to predict future occurrences (which Quant is all about) is not as valid as one likes to think. Every crisis has its unique elements & occurs in a unique environment. Previous history DOESN'T necessarily "rhyme." Just because you crossed the same street 100 times without looking & never got hit doesn't mean that on this occasion, there isn't a bus coming with your name on it. The current situation does not "map" to anything in our history, and, even if you look at 2020,it took a single act of bravery by a single man, Pence, (maybe the first in his political life) to keep the election from being thrown into the House of Representatives, and to Trump. Hitler failed miserably in his first attempt to grab power, his Beer Hall Putsch. But he & his enablers learned from that & we got the Second World War and the Holocaust. Trump & his inner circle have had 4 years to study the mistakes he made in 2020 & refine their strategies. This isn't a stand-alone crisis like the 1850s or the first tariff experiment that coincided with the Robber Baron era. This is a do-over in a very different environment. If you want to ask me how this is going to turn out, ask me on New Years Day!
waiting for letters to arrive. What did I pay for? i was getting letters before I paid. Guess you don't want the money. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Kamala Harris, for the People 💙🇺🇸
Election Day, and it feels like I’m waiting for the results of a biopsy.
Good one. Yes, it does. However, this too shall pass and we will be victorious.
😇 Thanks for your shared optimism 😇
Your writings have successfully reduced my stress and quite likely the stress level of many other readers.
🤞🏻 Now we see if our optimism is validated🤞🏻
🍀
May it be so 💙
Thank you, Heather. What you have done and continue to do in the name of freedom, democracy, and decency is deeply appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you, Heather, for a really good quality podcast.
Trump is a scumbag.

At the risk of appearing pedantic, it’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway. But thank you, nonetheless.
I am awaiting getting the daily letters...many complaints already.
