Buffalo_Gal Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) If these numbers are true, expect a fast rethinking of "not going back to school" by the Democrats. The article goes into how the 18-24 year old group have been notoriously bad about voting, but the Obama machine shook the bushes and got them there. It goes on to explain how colleges have been very good lately about getting students to vote, etc... Edited July 8, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1 2

To a large extent aside from unions, this is also where the Democrats get their foot soldiers to put up signs and such. Republicans won't be as affected because "grown ups" do a lot of their work for them...

Buffalo_Gal Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Reading the comments... she said most people are wearing masks, no one is going bonkers on the few who are not. The plane is pretty full. The plane is VERY clean.
BillStime Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Those damn democrats: CDC director says agency won't revise school reopening guidelines despite WH push Any else not surprised this incompetent administration can't get on the same page? Past 3.5 years has been nothing but a cluster.

Under the new rule, foreign nationals enrolled in U.S. educational institutions will have to leave the country unless part of their course load this fall is taken in-person. </snip>

So, if the facility has 200 residents, only 20 visitors (per day? at a time?). She is going to find out if they have a list (appointment) and realizes she will not be able to see him daily until the restrictions are loosened (she used to go for 6 hours a day, every day).

The GOTV campus programs are powerful motivating factors for students to register and vote. No matter what happens this fall the GOTV effectiveness won’t be at 100%. Could end up playing a decisive factor in the elections.
Magox Posted July 13, 2020 Author Posted July 13, 2020 New Housing construction sees 55% year over year growth. Quote It is the perfect storm for the nation’s homebuilders. A sharp decline in the supply of existing homes for sale, increasing consumer preference for brand-new, high-tech homes with all the amenities for working and schooling, as well as an accelerating flight to the suburbs and exurbs made for remarkable housing demand in June. While the official government count isn’t out until the end of the month, sales of newly built homes jumped 55% annually in June, according to a monthly survey by John Burns Real Estate Consulting, which has historically mirrored the U.S. Census report. It was the largest annual gain since homebuilding began again following the epic housing crash a decade ago. It is also the highest pace of sales growth since the height of the unprecedented housing boom in 2005. That expansion was driven by negligent lending in the subprime mortgage market. This boom appears to be driven by the coronavirus pandemic. “The anecdotal evidence is overwhelming. Sales in the distant commuter areas are the most robust,” said John Burns, founder and CEO of JBRC. “I believe a lot of computer-oriented people have proven to their co-workers that they can be productive from home, and have sensed, or officially been given the green light, to work from home at least a significant portion of the time after a vaccine has been found.” 1
