Well, unfortunately for Haley, she needs people to actually vote for her for that to happen.
Like, I don't get where this is coming from. Donald Trump couldn't win in 2020 and he literally had a cult following behind him, how is Haley gonna "mop the floor" with Biden when millions of Trump voters stay home?

You don�t need a whole lot of prep to commit suicide in 2025 America so at least wait to see how the election actually goes first

And remember that early calls often get amended or retracted. You have until January even if the worst happens

The mathematically optimal plan would be to wait until Trump's inauguration and then commit suicide if that is your only option. The probability of any one event is always less than 100% until it is actually observed. That means you'd look like a silly goose if you killed yourself when there was only a 50% chance of something to happen when you could wait until the outcome is certain.

So if you are min-maxing an optimal Trump suicide speedrun, then you should hold off until 12:01 pm EST on January 20th, 2025.

New York City hit a new record for low housing stock.

Only 1.4% of all housing units in the entire city were vacant during 2023 and the amount of affordable vacancies (apartments for less than $1,650 per month) was 0.8%.

Projections are that NYC needs to build at least 280,000 new housing units per year to start reversing the shrinking housing to population ratio.

There were just over 11,000 new units built in 2023 and only 60,000 units added since 2021.

Proposals to increase housing construction died in the state legislature last year and new bills introduced that were much more modest are still stuck in limbo and facing strong opposition from various local groups, construction companies, labor unions, homeowners, and politicians.

quote:

New York City�s Housing Crunch Is the Worst It Has Been in Over 50 Years

Only 1.4 percent of the city�s rentals were available in 2023, according to new data, the lowest portion since 1968. The market was even tighter for lower-cost apartments.

New York City�s housing crunch is the worst it has been in more than 50 years.

The portion of rentals that were vacant and available dropped to a startling 1.4 percent in 2023, according to city data released on Thursday. It was the lowest vacancy rate since 1968 and shows just how drastically home construction lags behind the demand from people who want to live in the city.

Housing experts often consider a �healthy� vacancy rate to be somewhere around 5 to 8 percent. A higher vacancy rate typically means it is easier for people to find apartments when they want to move. It also means that property owners are more likely to have to compete for renters, conditions that would moderate rent increases.

The data suggests New York City�s housing crisis is only getting worse, especially during the economic rebound from the coronavirus pandemic. The 1.4 percent rate was down from 4.5 percent in 2021, the last time the survey was conducted. New York officials consider a vacancy rate of less than 5 percent a �housing emergency.�

�The data is clear: The demand to live in our city is far outpacing our ability to build housing,� Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement announcing the numbers on Thursday. �New Yorkers need our help, and they need it now.�

The scale of the problem is putting more pressure on officials to do something about it. High housing costs continue to force families and working class people out of the city, threatening the economy. An influx of migrants has overwhelmed the city�s homeless shelter system, and homelessness among non-migrants is also on the rise.

Housing experts estimate that the number of homes the city needs to build is in the hundreds of thousands.

So far, however, the city and state have not made moves that could accelerate enough housing development to solve the crisis.

State lawmakers failed last year to pass several major housing proposals, including a push by Gov. Kathy Hochul to increase development in the suburbs. This year, less ambitious measures appear to be stuck in limbo, as the real estate industry, labor unions and tenant advocates remain at an impasse over tax incentives for new construction and tenant protections.

Ms. Hochul said in a statement on Thursday that the survey was �the latest reminder that we can only build our way out of this crisis.�

�There�s no time to waste,� she said.

Mr. Adams has proposed local solutions, like an overhaul of the city�s zoning code. He estimates that the changes could make way for as many as 100,000 additional homes in the coming years. They would need to be approved by the City Council, and a vote could come as early as the fall.

But city officials acknowledge that these changes would be modest and not have much effect without state action.

�We need our leaders in Albany and New York City to take immediate action on a coordinated plan that helps build up our housing supply,� Rachel Fee, the executive director of the New York Housing Conference, a nonprofit that favors more development, said in a statement.

The data released on Thursday was collected in the first half of 2023 as part of a survey run by the U.S. Census Bureau every three years. The first survey was conducted in 1965.

In many ways, the results affirm the experience of many New Yorkers.

Rents plummeted at the height of the pandemic as people moved away and the vacancy rate increased. But as people have moved back to the city, rents have reached some of the highest levels ever over the past two years. The median rent on new Manhattan leases in December 2023, for example, was $4,050, according to the brokerage Douglas Elliman.

The vacancy rate is calculated by first totaling the number of homes �available to rent� in the city. This does not include vacant apartments that are �dilapidated� or empty because the owner uses the unit as a pied-�-terre or a short-term rental, like an Airbnb.

Then, that number � about 33,210 units in 2023 � is divided by the roughly 2.3 million total rental homes in the city that are either available or occupied by tenants.

The vacancy rate dropped to 1.4 percent even as the city added some 60,000 homes over the past two years, according to the city data. In the last survey before the pandemic, in 2017, the vacancy rate was 3.63 percent.

As in previous years, the data also shows how the housing crisis hits New York�s lowest-income people the hardest. The vacancy rate of apartments that rent below $1,650 per month � around the citywide median � was less than 1 percent. The typical New York City household, which has an income of about $70,000, spent more than half of that income on rent, the survey showed.

Somewhat surprisingly, however, the crunch is now hitting higher-rent apartments, too. Fewer than 4 percent of apartments renting for more than $2,400 were available in 2023, according to the survey, less than half of similar estimates in 2021 and 2017.

Not that long ago Trump said he liked Viktor Orban, the leader of Turkey, and that Kim Jong Il, Chinese dictator, ruled over 1.4 billion people. Those were hardly the only times. It never stuck.

Fox News is reporting on this bit of the Hur Report which actually makes Biden look good:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-considered-resigning-vice-presidency-in-protest-obama-afghanistan-policy-hur-report
Biden considered resigning vice presidency 'in protest' over Obama's Afghanistan policy: Hur report

quote:

President Biden considered resigning as vice president "in protest" over former President Barack Obama's Afghanistan policies in 2009 over fear the war would become "another Vietnam," according to Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on Biden's mishandling of classified documents released Thursday.

Hur has been investigating Biden's improper retention of classified records since last year. The papers included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, among other national security and foreign policy records, which Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods."

"Tomorrow the President is going to make a fateful decision regarding Afghanistan - as I sat looking out the window at the sea - thinking I should resign in protest over what will bring his administration down," Biden wrote in what the report noted was an "Af/Pak" notebook he used to take notes during a number of National Security Council meetings on Afghanistan in 2009.

"Although I obviously wasn't there I feel like this is what it must have felt like for Kennedy then Johnson in the early days of VTN [Vietnam]. I feel guilty and boxed in myself. Guilty for not having been more successful w/ the President - and staying. Boxed in by knowing or at least feeling that my resignation would only harden his position and leave him with one less voice," he added.

Biden strongly opposed the administration's plans to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan throughout 2009, a view reflected in various entries in his notebook, as well as in a memo he sent Obama, that FBI agents found at his Delaware home alongside marked classified documents containing his advice to the former president.

According to the report, Biden called Army leaders' request for another 40,000 troops in Afghanistan "f---ing outrageous," and privately fretted the decision to do so would be "disastrous."

The reported later said Biden "had a strong motive to keep the classified Afghanistan documents," because of his belief the 2009 troop surge was a Vietnam-level mistake.

"He wanted the record to show that he was right about Afghanistan; that his critics were wrong; and that he had opposed President Obama's mistaken decision forcefully," it said.

"There is evidence that, after his vice presidency, Mr. Biden willfully retained marked classified documents about Afghanistan and unmarked classified handwritten notes in his notebooks, both of which he stored in unsecured places in his home. He had no legal authority to do so, and his retention of these materials, and disclosure of classified information from his notebooks to his ghostwriter, risked serious damage to America's national security," it added.

Fox News Digital has reached out to representatives of Obama for comment.

Hur announced he would not seek criminal charges against Biden.

Biden's issue is that even before his brain started slipping he tossed out gaffes way more than other people. Before, it was a bit of a brand thing when he asked the person in a wheelchair to stand up or mixed up countries in a statement. Now every mistake is an example that his brains are about to drip out his ears. His love of folksisms and general Grandpa speak doesn't help him.

Oddly at the same time Trump has always talked in word salad, and he does it so much that it's hard to differentiate when he's having a brain melt down or just being a total loving dolt. Dude hasn't made a completely intelligible answer, that wasn't an insult, since at least the mid 90s. In true Trump fashion, his incompetence in the field is so bad that it manages to confuse the brain's ability to parse resulting in difficulty holding him accountable.

Both of them are suffering from enough brain worms that they should be disqualified from office, but only one of them is so stupid that the thinks pointing out the lion makes him smart. Both their clocks suck, but Biden's is probably way better.
