Sir

Jordan Sudy · 6:41 PM

Sir

Jordan Sudy · 6:42 PM

What is the state of the State?

Scott GP · 6:42 PM

exactly

Jordan Sudy · 6:42 PM

Besides the fact that you need a picture

Scott GP · 6:42 PM

I'm not camera friendly

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

Doesn't have to be a visage

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

can be symbolic

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

analogical

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

metaphora?

Scott GP · 6:44 PM

My profile will think about it

Jordan Sudy · 6:44 PM

Sounds like a plan, GP

Jordan Sudy · 6:44 PM

so, what do you think?

Jordan Sudy · 6:44 PM

Should we rejoice?

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

Or move to Australia?

Scott GP · 6:45 PM

We should; both

Scott GP · 6:45 PM

New Zealand

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

Indeed

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

they've got great sailing there

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

no fiscal cliffs

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

speaking of which

Scott GP · 6:45 PM

they do

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

is that really something to be worried about?

Scott GP · 6:46 PM

fiscal cliff - no. well, depends on time horizon. If you take anything but a short term view (i.e. take the medium or long view), then no.

Jordan Sudy · 6:47 PM

so if I take a short term view?

Scott GP · 6:48 PM

then there will be a lot of noise. but people tend to make obviously rational decisions once irrational decisions become obviously irrational.

Jordan Sudy · 6:48 PM

haha

Jordan Sudy · 6:48 PM

well said

Jordan Sudy · 6:48 PM

yeah, I was reading the other day that the negotiations have gone kind of silent

Scott GP · 6:48 PM

positioning.

Jordan Sudy · 6:49 PM

and that that is a good indication that rational discussion is going on

Jordan Sudy · 6:49 PM

positioning?

Scott GP · 6:49 PM

watch what people do, not say.

Jordan Sudy · 6:49 PM

what are you seeing?

Scott GP · 6:49 PM

well i'm dizzy

Scott GP · 6:49 PM

but

Jordan Sudy · 6:50 PM

haha

Jordan Sudy · 6:50 PM

from the last few weeks?

Jordan Sudy · 6:50 PM

or actually physiologically?

Scott GP · 6:50 PM

tough question. both. glad election is over

Jordan Sudy · 6:51 PM

Jordan Sudy · 6:51 PM

Jordan Sudy · 6:52 PM

really amazing--

Jordan Sudy · 6:52 PM

much more granular than the usual

Jordan Sudy · 6:52 PM

shows that even in the reddest states, or the bluest

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

that the cities are overwhelmingly blue

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

not really red and blue states. urban vs non

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

and the outskirts red

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

right!

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

always been like that

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

big gov

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

"red states" have more rural populations

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

vs small gov

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

generally

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

they say that that is too general

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

but seems to be true

Scott GP · 6:54 PM

generally

Jordan Sudy · 6:54 PM

is big govt just bad for rurals?

Jordan Sudy · 6:54 PM

is that actually the truth

Scott GP · 6:54 PM

economically no

Jordan Sudy · 6:54 PM

why not?

Scott GP · 6:54 PM

farm subsidies, unemployment, social security, health care, electoral college

Jordan Sudy · 6:55 PM

so why do you think they are so against it

Jordan Sudy · 6:55 PM

those rural folks?

Scott GP · 6:56 PM

religion, education, media, social environment, family, exposure, ideology

Jordan Sudy · 6:56 PM

lot of walls

Scott GP · 6:56 PM

its complicated i suppose

Jordan Sudy · 6:57 PM

hard to understand if you don't live there

Jordan Sudy · 6:57 PM

maybe impossible

Scott GP · 6:58 PM

just talk to someone in upstate New Hampshire or New York, and you'll get half way there. Talk to someone on Wall St. and you'll get even closer. Then go to Texas for a vacation.

Jordan Sudy · 7:00 PM
