Its ridiculously funny, he was so confidently wrong about the definition of concubine its actually over the top. If I heard it in person I’d have to leave the room for fear they would want to hit me for laughing so hard.

What does upgrade even mean? Are you like two per room and are having more kids? None of this makes any sense without context.

The million dollar homes in my well populated area near a major city are gigantic homes.

Okay so 600k? Even still though, a million dollar home you own thats gone up far over what you paid for it is going to leave you with a lot of options.

Its confusing to me that you need to upgrade and so are upset about the housing situation. You seem to be doing well by any standard I’m aware of so I’m asking what do I not know?

I had really hoped that he would be one of the ones who could rationalize living the rest of his life as a simple millionaire or something.

You are right about the knee-jerk reaction to avoiding losing even a bit of wealth.

I was pretty bummed to hear mark Cuban wants Lina Khan fired. Cubans been a huge spokesperson for Kamala and insists they talk often.

Edit: here’s an article recently about it where he tries to be the “I’m just saying” guy.

Its worth searching it up, theres many recent stories detailing the methods.

They use a representative sample by reaching out to random voters or posting ads online in social spaces. Once they have enough people to make representative groups to match the population of the state or nation, maybe a few thousand people, they then ask them questions.

They tend to use the same people repeatedly, as they are more reliable in answering, and some of them are regularly paid small amounts for their time.

The polls are essentially tracking a group of people who thought it was worth their time to answer polls, which I am not a part of, and noone I know is a part of.

Edit to add: one new thing this election cycle is that a new weight has been added to account for party affiliation, which wasnt used before.

Dont take polls so seriously. Even pollsters know that they have no idea how accurate they might be.

Yep, everyone who lives in the less populated areas is miserable and bored constantly. Those poor people, so sad. They should be more like you.
