Wealth Tax: Good Idea? Bad Idea?

Commenced: October 17, 2019

Yes, another post on finances…but the Democrat candidates debate gets one thinking….now to the point. I do not like the idea of wealth tax. There is an enormous wealth inequality problem and while a wealth tax sounds like a direct solution, I feel there are problems with any implementation, such that there just must be […]

Commenced: September 27, 2020

The republicans in the senate have a clear motive for wanting a new supreme court judge appointed before the election, but with Donald Trump the motivation is not quite as clear. This page contemplates the possible motives of Donald Trump for his rush to appoint a new judge to the high court prior to the […]

Biden vs Trump: A World Changing US Election?

Commenced: October 2, 2020

The US has an election this November, with the possibility of the winner being decided by the US congress, and not by the election itself. I am even going to suggest this is the most likely of all outcomes. How this is even possible, as well as how each outcome would change the world is […]

2020: Trump ‘wins’ on election Night?

Commenced: November 2, 2020

It is almost certain Trump will hold the lead in votes counted at the end of the night on November 3. While it is possible that Trump could still hold the lead once all votes are counted, Trump is extremely unlikely take the risk that will eventuate and will instead launch legal challenges to the […]

2020: Trump To Declare Victory on election Night? Violence and Intimation? (revision II)

Commenced: November 3, 2020

As I said yesterday, it is almost certain Trump will hold the lead based on votes counted at the end of the night on November 3. While it is possible that, were Trump to wait until the end of the vote count, Trump would still be in the lead, it seems less and less likely […]

Commenced: November 4, 2020

The first, is how precisely election results have been in line with predictions: as predicted, Trump would narrowly lead on election night based on counted votes as predicted, Trump would declare victory on […]

US Election: Why The Flip The Switch States?

Commenced: November 6, 2020

The whole 2020 US Election scenario was extremely predictable. That is because it was predictable there would be states with an early count favouring Trump, even when the majority of the state voted for Biden. This ‘flip’ happens all the time. Imagine people in a large hall. The master of ceremonies asks ‘all those who […]

Donald Trump: Victory Still Possible?

Here in Australia, all 5 free to air Television networks had at least one digital channel focus on the US election on election day. I will […]

What if Trump isn’t lying?

Commenced: December 6, 2020

I know. There are a lot of claims that Trump “lies all the time”. But consider for a moment, what if Trump is not lying? What if he actually believes the things he says? More specifically, if you read all there is in this post, could you be forgiven for believing in many ways Trump […]

Three new chapters of the story playing out: Partisan reactions to Trump call Georgia Sec of State Georgia Senate Elections The Presidential Confirmation Soap Opera On display is the huge disconnect between sides, and in general a lack of ‘theory of mind’. Theory of mind as a personal capability is the understanding that others have beliefs, desires, intentions, and perspectives that are […]
