Quackers
Quackers's JournalI just selected Biden and it went from 18% to 19%. You're welcome. lol
Im going to miss you, Pete.
What's wrong with me? (Not a dramatic thread)
Ive always known this about myself, but recently, my kids have pressed for an answer and I really dont know.
What is my favorite color? I dont have one.
Favorite movie? I like many movies but no favorite.
Favorite food? I cant settle on just one.
Favorite song? Theres many good songs.
Favorite band? Meh.
So, you get the idea. Its not like Im indecisive when it comes to decision making. I can make a choice. I guess I just weigh the choices differently or by a different metric? Anyways, I thought I would just put this out there and see what people thought.
Bloomberg was worth $54.1B in November. Now it's $61.5B
Is he making money off of running for President or is $7B a normal return on investment after a few months? Honestly, Im asking. I dont know. That amount of money is out of my level of expertise.

A few other questions.
He supported stop and frisk, even defending it after he left office. He finally backtracked in November and apologized. What changed?

Michael Bloomberg said; Ive never supported raising the minimum wage. In December, he backtracked and now supports a $15 minimum wage. What changed?
He is buying up all the ad time he can and churning out commercial after commercial that paints him in the perfect light. He hasnt debated with any of the other candidates. Has he even held a town hall or rally or anything where people can submit questions to him?
He literally is buying this election. He is even paying Instagram influencers to say nice things about him. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/07/mike-bloomberg-2020-campaign-instagram-influencers
He also said this during an interview in September 2018.
Its impossible to conceive that I could run as a Republican things like choice, so many of the issues, Im just way away from where the Republican Party is today, Mr. Bloomberg said. Thats not to say Im with the Democratic Party on everything, but I dont see how you could possibly run as a Republican. So if you ran, yeah, youd have to run as a Democrat.
So is the party just a thing of convenience for him to met his end goals?
Am I the only one that has alarm bells going off in my head over this guy? Our candidates, our Democratic candidates are being squeezed out because of him. They cant outspend him. No way in hell can they drop the amount of money he is going to. All our candidates have is the donations we send and the support we give. Our candidates answer to us or risk losing it all. Who is Bloomberg accountable to?
To those who think Pete's Campaign was involved with Shadow Inc.
To those who think Petes Campaign was involved with Shadow Inc, the company that created the vote reporting app; they were.
They paid $42,500 to them in July for Text Messaging software. But heres the rub. They werent the only ones.
Buttigiegs campaign paid $42,500 to Shadow Inc. for text messaging software in July. Other Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and the Texas Democratic Party, have contracted with Shadow for similar services, federal campaign finance data show.
The Buttigieg campaign did not help develop the app used in Iowa, a campaign spokesman confirmed Tuesday to the AP.
