***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Their whole argument is it hurts small business owners in central business districts if ppl continue to work from home at this rate. But my counter argument would be what about the small business owners in the ‘burbs? What about the extra expenses on extended daycare, gas, etc, that reduces the amount of money people can spend on vacations, or new TVs, or home upgrades, etc.

Somebody has to “lose” in either scenario. It seems like the general theme is to get back to a pre-COVID status quo (and for Dems, pre-Trump status quo), but that was trash too for a lot of Americans. This is my whole point about having old *** politicians with old *** ideas. Work has evolved and will continue to, even if COVID had never happened, but they’re still stuck in the past.
Word. I was having this discussion with the vp of finance at my job. Covid just sped up what was going to happen. The good, bad and ugly. From healthcare all the way to education.

If these old *** farts dont get with the time, then move out the way.

Nothing adapts more than capitalism.
 

Business Insider reports that Jesse Benton, Mr Paul's former aide, "conspired to illegally funnel thousands of dollars of foreign money from a Russian foreign national" into the 2016 campaign.

He also managed Senator Mitch McConnell's 2014 campaign.

Mr Benton received a $100,000 wire transfer from an unnamed Russian national in October of 2016, according to the indictment. He was allegedly promised that he would get to "meet a celebrity" at a Philadelphia fundraiser a month earlier.

Though prosecutors did not name the candidate involved in the memo, Insider confirmed that Mr Trump was hosting a fundraiser in Philadelphia the night of the fundraiser mentioned by the Russian national.

That individual was present at the fundraiser, according to prosecutors. His travel to the US was allegedly made possible by a co-conspirator in the case, conservative author Roy Douglas Wead. According to prosecutors, all three had taken officials with "Political Candidate 1," who is believed to be Mr Trump.

Both men are accused of passing off the donations as payments for "consulting work." Mr Benton reportedly kept $75,000 of the donation, while the rest was given to the candidate.

Mr Benton was previously convicted of campaign finance fraud relating to Mr Paul's 2012 presidential campaign. He was sentenced just says before the Philadelphia fundraiser and was sentenced to two years of probation and a $10,000 fine.

After his conviction, Mr Trump pardoned Mr Benton.
