I would if they were posters i recognised, can't recall their names which is usually the case for fringe opinions.
Feck man, i was happy i got about £600
Anybody with a scintilla of decency is the total opposite of Trump. Just enjoy the celebration
But Biden did win, so it's literally impossible to decide which is a better call.
I want to laugh at him, but this makes me feel uncomfortable. This is nothing more than a senile man with a microphone.
Disgusting
And this is why people vote Republican instead. Im in the US and in Michigan. The flyover state thing is incredibly insulting and elitist coming from primarily the coasts.
Yes, they are.
Of course it is impossible. Hence, "I think".
Don’t deny that. There’s some validity in your statement. I tend to be bigoted towards those who profess aggressive ignorance.
No worries, though.
It’s not a blanket assessment from me regarding everyone or all of those locations in this country, that’s just how I view a considerable portion of them / that.
That's pretty much my thoughts on it. It's successful middle/upper-middle class, but nowhere close to elite.
'upper class' and elite are two wildly different things though. And you don't need a half million downpayment.
Exactly. Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists, Engineers etc. Probably all worth that once they hit 50.
Those people couldn't always afford that 3 bed semi in most cases. They worked their asses off for it. Just because they climbed the mountain does not mean they didn't start at the bottom. As for his children, in the UK $2m wouldn't be enough to send your kids to private school or anything. They may win the area postcode a bit and get better/less deprived schools, but have the same healthcare and opportunities as most kids. We're not talking Boris or Rees-Mogg here.
Market will always be more conservative than statistical analysis, because it’s real money at stake and people, both bookies and punters, are more reserved as a result. When it’s off, it’s off just as badly. Brexit, 2016, UK 2017 (Tories majority). The wild fluctuation of odds when results dripped in reflect people reaction and expectations, often on imperfect info. If we’d taken a snapshot of the odds at 10 pm Tuesday, no one would have said it was predictive. Election went on for another 4 days.
Good one
Dude, you're from Florida.
Yep. Inclusive of all the faults & challenges that can come with it.
My favourite three states: (I haven't been to every one) - Colorado, Montana, and Texas. Not sure if these are considered 'flyovers' but they are fecking stunning places.
Eton charges about £40k a year? and Winchester.
(Sorry if I've misunderstood, watching film as well as on Caf.)

All with quality, no doubt, especially the first two.
Maybe one might be. The term isn’t blanket or rock solid, there’s not much else to choose from.
Good work lads. Only bets I actually placed on election night were that he'll be removed by either impeachment or the 25th amendment. Just a small one for fun.
In this case bookies were just following betfair market. While it was Betfair's biggest betting event ever it was still "only" around 600m. A hedge fund or couple of rich guys could easily move that market, if they thought it was 97%.
I bet around 10% of my net worth on Biden thinking 538's model was good (and other information I researched). I consider my bet to have been too big in retrospect and basicly I got lucky. I think it was still +ev bet, but by a lot less than I thought on Monday.
But better to be lucky than good!
Yeah FL - It’s a shithole state.
Meanwhile the only people who think highly of Florida seem to only be our flyover state snowbirds who..aren't progressive.
Don’t disagree.
Ditto.
My best ever vacation was to the keys. Grad school friend's dad had a place down there. What a week of fishing, red stripe, and more fishing. Perfect vacation for poor ass grad students.
I spent my youth at 16-17 in homeless shelters in Rusholme and Hulme. Little England all around, so little to live of from social security that we spent our time picking up old fag ends off the streets to roll cigarettes. A tiny world of maybe 3 square miles. When I flew in to Texas (Dallas Fort Worth) at 17, just after 9/11 it was like nothing I'd ever known. Purely massive, rolling fields everywhere, people so welcoming and friendly compared to in the UK. Everything was so damned big, so damned cheap. And the girl was cute too. So overwhelming and inspiring. It was like nirvana for me.
Shut up dude. Cal just called Wisconsin a flyover state too. Show the Florida hate.
How many people in the world do you think have the ability to get a 2m mortgage? A tiny percentage. An elite level of people, you might say.
But, I didn’t. Always enjoyed my time spent in Wisconsin.
It means that some Democrats will refuse to even engage with the scale of the problems in that country and that they'll just spend 4 years making snide, unhelpful comments. Luckily, I'm sure Biden will be much smarter than that.
The only way you're flying over WI is if you are taking the long route to O'Hare or going to Canada.
Dont think you saw what my reply was in response to.
