I would really like to read some research on the (my perception) declining value of money and negative ads this cycle, or since Elon tried to buy a WI Supreme Court seat. Money is not delivering the same pain and field is not a place you go for a percent in a tight race.

Moved to West Saint Paul today. My dear friend hunted down the bottle of Lagavulin we first cracked in January of 20, to talk about what we’d do if the virus went pandemic. It’s half full now. I can’t drink it but I can smell it and I love having it on hand for her.
