Sir
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:42 PM

What is the state of the State?
SG

Scott GP · 6:42 PM

exactly
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:42 PM

Besides the fact that you need a picture
SG

Scott GP · 6:42 PM

I'm not camera friendly
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

Doesn't have to be a visage
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

can be symbolic
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

analogical
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:43 PM

metaphora?
SG

Scott GP · 6:44 PM

My profile will think about it
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:44 PM

Sounds like a plan, GP
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:44 PM

so, what do you think?
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:44 PM

Should we rejoice?
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

Or move to Australia?
SG

Scott GP · 6:45 PM

We should; both
SG

Scott GP · 6:45 PM

New Zealand
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

Indeed
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

they've got great sailing there
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

no fiscal cliffs
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

speaking of which
SG

Scott GP · 6:45 PM

they do
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:45 PM

is that really something to be worried about?
SG

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.
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:47 PM

so if I take a short term view?
SG

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.
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:48 PM

haha
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:48 PM

well said
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:48 PM

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

Scott GP · 6:48 PM

positioning.
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:49 PM

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

Jordan Sudy · 6:49 PM

positioning?
SG

Scott GP · 6:49 PM

watch what people do, not say.
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:49 PM

what are you seeing?
SG

Scott GP · 6:49 PM

well i'm dizzy
SG

Scott GP · 6:49 PM

but
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:50 PM

haha
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:50 PM

from the last few weeks?
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:50 PM

or actually physiologically?
SG

Scott GP · 6:50 PM

tough question. both. glad election is over
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:51 PM

JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:51 PM

SG

Scott GP · 6:51 PM

JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:52 PM

https://www.facebook.com/nicknotned/posts/319643221484529
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:52 PM

really amazing--
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:52 PM

much more granular than the usual
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:52 PM

shows that even in the reddest states, or the bluest
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

that the cities are overwhelmingly blue
SG

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

not really red and blue states. urban vs non
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

and the outskirts red
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

right!
SG

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

always been like that
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

big gov
SG

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

"red states" have more rural populations
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

vs small gov
SG

Scott GP · 6:53 PM

generally
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

they say that that is too general
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:53 PM

but seems to be true
SG

Scott GP · 6:54 PM

generally
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:54 PM

is big govt just bad for rurals?
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:54 PM

is that actually the truth
SG

Scott GP · 6:54 PM

economically no
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:54 PM

ha
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:54 PM

why not?
SG

Scott GP · 6:54 PM

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

Jordan Sudy · 6:55 PM

so why do you think they are so against it
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:55 PM

those rural folks?
SG

Scott GP · 6:56 PM

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

Jordan Sudy · 6:56 PM

lot of walls
SG

Scott GP · 6:56 PM

its complicated i suppose
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:57 PM

hard to understand if you don't live there
JS

Jordan Sudy · 6:57 PM

maybe impossible
SG

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.
JS

Jordan Sudy · 7:00 PM
