Technically every cigar is born double ended until the point it's not.

WB, it could all be down to your vote ......and you're not voting!! I am voting, I'm voting Democratic down ticket. I even brought my daughter in from Philadelphia since she hadn't bothered to change her address and is still registered to vote here at home. I'm just not voting for Hillary as my presidential ballot, there are about 9 other races I am voting for though.

You Americans always have to outdo us in the stupidity stakes.

Ah but we weren't stupid, we voted for a free future
But America, Christ knows what will happen now. But they had no choice. A madman or a corrupt bitch. Why did they have to have the choice of those two?
On the bright side ( for UK ) £ will rally and some imports priced in dollars (oil) get cheaper. And anyone with gold might have just made a profit. Beginning of the end of the dollar as the world currency? Funny old world eh. WB, are you hastening your move to Europe? Bare in mind the EU is collapsing.

I've had my money, all of it out of the market for a few months now. Not being certain about anything in the election. For those months I likely lost out on 3 or 4 percent gains, but I was happy on the sidelines knowing that there was too much unknown.
The Nikkei was down 5% in one day yesterday with the US presidential results. Brace for impact today in the EU and later today in the US when the corporatists begin to deal with not getting the candidate they'd bought and paid for.
Let's hope the next four years aren't too bumpy of a ride.

Can I ask. Does any part of you wish you'd voted for Hilary now?

Can I ask. Does any part of you wish you'd voted for Hilary now? No; Wishing things were different doesn't gain anything, my only regret happened back in the June and I've long come to terms with it, fighting harder for Bernie against the neo-liberal mindset of the I'm with her crowd. Can only bring a horse to water and all that you know?

Don't know much about Thomas Frank from The Guardian but he has a good writeup posted, certainly worth a read and without getting too impassioned outlines much of the sentiment that led to Tuesday's result. Here's an excerpt.
Actually yesterday in my meditation sangha a student from China who's been going regularly since he began the semester said something that caused some gasps. He said that to him Trump seemed like the more natural choice. He mentioned his distrust for the government coming from China and understanding that to him, the government's self interest and propaganda colors everything. His view makes a lot of sense.
