Those would be attention grabbing headlines, EEE. 

I can only hope that the all too transparent motive for the testing change would be loudly exposed by all credible media outlets, not to mention the Biden campaign. I know, foolish me for thinking that group of voters would be inclined to hear the truth. 

As to the stock market, it's interesting how only 5 major corporations (Apple, Google, FB, Microsoft, and Amazon) account for the dramatic rise in the S & P 500 (which is of course a far broader gauge of corporate health than the 30 stocks that makeup the Dow). Still, as you note, 30,000 would be eye-popping on the Dow. Given that a quite small percentage of Americans actually own stock/mutual funds, I wonder if it could have a reverse effect whereby some on the lower end of socioeconomic ladder would be pissed off as they assess their own poor finances. 

I'm sure Trump has other things up his sleeve. Might there be a Saudi Arabian deal similar to the one recently struck between Israel and the UAE? Not sure if the masses really care. 

I don't see most of the political ads as New Hampshire is probably going to go for all the Democrats but I sure hope Trump's "law and order" puffery is contrasted with images of all of those members of his inner-swamp who have been convicted, indicted, and sometimes pardoned. Sickening stuff!
