Are there data to support this argument though?

The markets went down early on as everything everywhere shut down, then I don't think had another sustained run of losses? And while trump didn't do great at the response, his ineptitude didn't really shine through until after the initial closures etc.

That's not to say the market is all that matters and I think his lack of response killed many people, it doesn't seem to have moved markets. (Darkly ironic, as most of the deaths were among senior citizens who have a low propensity to spend, you might perversely argue more seniors deaths led to a redistribution of wealth towards those with a higher marginal propensity to spend thus helping the markets. Obviously super immoral/evil but again, in terms of the markets...)

That's actually super cool! (Admittedly, one of my favourite youtube channels is practical engineering so I am not an authority on actual coolness.)

Honestly, carefully looking on marketplace, being willing to travel to the bougie end of town got me a high end microwave for cheapish and I'm never ever going back.

Sensor reheat, just heats my damn food. Frozen food setting, hell yeah, all thawed perfectly.

The rich live better and I'm fine enjoying their leavings.

Heya! Just wanted to say thanks. I tried Qobuz but had a couple of issues. Just tried Deezer and it's been fantastic, works with everything and my tiny little obscure bands are all there! It's like catching up with old friends I haven't seen in far too long.

Thanks again!
