No I suppose not.  But I also suppose Jupiter Brain is as big a fan of the constitution as I am, so He will work with it.

 

 

>…OK I'll take that bet, but if an AI kills us all before then you have to figure a way to give me 1000 respectars…

 

 

No way Jose.  If AI kills everybody, then all bets are off.  Forever.

John the way I think of that is by considering what would have happened had not the FBI squirreled away Hunter’s laptop.  Had not that been done, Biden would not have won that election, then we would have someone else by now, which from your point of view would be a good thing, ja?

 

Regarding the coming election, no, we already know what drives election results: fuel prices.  Those are way up.  The republic party is holding all three seats of power.  I predict almost certainly the democrat party will take the house, and about a 50% chance of taking the senate.

 

I am cool with that result, as it will set up for a bigger showdown in Nov 2028.  I am almost entirely sold out of my betting positions for this round, and expect the rest of my shares to sell by tomorrow (otherwise I will take a minor whooping this cycle (because I held too long (this political betting game is always guesswork (which is why some consider it gambling.))))
