#44: @FedupBizOwner on the US Election (recorded 8pm EST Sunday 1 Nov)
Description
FedUpBizOwner (@HRGPFOREVER) joins me to discuss the US Election... We can all probably agree that we want to move on with life, and that having a peaceful transfer (Biden win), or no transfer (Trump win), of power is preferable for America and democracy. But is this realistic? Is the US heading for chaos for days, weeks, months (longer?!)
Why is Trump going to be in the White House on election night (and not in a hotel as is tradition)? Why has he asked N.C. voters to 'try and vote twice'? Why is 10:30 pm EST such an important time on Tuesday 3rd? What scenarios are there for a peaceful and decisive election night?
FedUp is candid, he is traditionally a GOP voter, however he also hates Trump. So this he is very much not a far-left liberal (some people get this very wrong on twitter...!). You may agree or disagree with his views, however he is laying out what could happen in the next 48 hours, and it's better to be prepared for chaos (and it might not happen, if so that is good!), rather than to just be unprepared...
We also quickly cover right at the beginning the latest on the lending markets (FedUp's job is in Franchise Financing)
As always if you have any feedback whether good/bad/ugly, please DM me on Twitter (@Darky999), several episodes have come from listener ideas
United States
Do you believe in law? The rule of law? Moron guest knows nothing. Judges merely rule on laws passed by legislature. It's the people. Geez. All you have to do is read the opinion. JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring in denial of application to vacate stay. Approximately 30 States, including Wisconsin, require that absentee ballots be received by election day in order to be counted. Like most States, Wisconsin has retained that deadline for the November 2020 election, notwithstanding the COVID–19 pandemic. In advance of the November election, however, a Federal District Court in Wisconsin unilaterally changed the State’s deadline for receipt of absentee ballots. Citing the pandemic, the court extended the deadline for receipt of absentee ballots by six days—from election day, November 3, to November 9, so long as the ballots are postmarked on or before election day, November 3.
