I have to say that DU kinda reminds me of the Tower of Babel. New threads pop up faster than the DJIA goes down.

It's pretty disorienting. I'm sure I'm missing folks who respond to me and vice versa. Maybe I'll get the hang of it eventually.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
