Vote early and often
People are voting already.
A chain of sandwich shops called Taylor Gourmet will close its stores in the District of Columbia and Chicago this weekend and file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. They were doing fine until the CEO, Casey Patten, was spotted at a small business roundtable at the White House in January 2017. (This is a happening where lucky people get to sit around a table and tell the Pretendident he's the greatest thing since the development of agriculture, and maybe even more awesome.) Business was off by 40% the next day, and it never recovered. Condolences to the soon-to-be unemployed. Of course, it could be that customers suddenly realized a hoagie ain't nothin' but a hero.
Speaking of heroes, Nike's stock price is up by 36% and analysts are calling Colin Kaepernick the company's Six Billion Dollar Man. He's expected to be worth that much to them. Lefties continue to wrestle with the irony of supporting a corporation with exploitative labor practices because they talk the talk at home. Such is the nature of capitalism.
They can gerrymander, purge the voter rolls, limit early voting and demand all kinds of identification, they can let the Russian hackers run amok in the databases, but as cummings's olof said, "there is some s. I will not eat."
