Democrats popularity continues to slide, Buffet puts money up
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articl...falls.html

Unlike the Democrats, Buffets popularity is rising in his company (its a hodge podge of topics in the article-starts with Democrats 31% favorability-barely better than Russia, but worse than China).

"...Of course, filling out tournament brackets is a must-do if you work for Berkshire Hathaway, the massive conglomerate owned by Warren Buffet, also a noted basketball fan. In the past Buffet had offered $1 billion to anyone who completed a perfect bracket. (At odds of 1 in 9.2 quintillion, it was a pretty safe bet no one would win – and no one did.) This year, Buffet has offered a better bet to his employees: He will award $100,000 to the employee who makes it the furthest in the tournament. Anyone who completes a perfect bracket through the Sweet 16 will get $1 million a year for life. And there’s a final kicker: If Creighton or Nebraska wins, Buffet will up the prize to $2 million a year for life."

"The good? Despite the drop in favorability, Democrats still enjoy a healthy advantage over Republicans on the generic ballot question. When asked which party they’d like to see win control of the House, 48 percent said the Democrats, 38 percent said the GOP, and 15 percent were undecided. Overall, Democrats lead the 2018 Generic Ballot by 8.9 percentage points in the RCP Average."

Outside of disease infested, mentally ill, and spiritually absent cities, college campuses and the entertainment industry, the Democratic party has become as toxic as a septic tank.

Better than where I used to work. Whoever finished last in the pool had their pay docked.



















Just kidding. They were fired instead....
