Last thing Biden needs on the inflation / cost of living crisis front is this port in Baltimore being taken out of commision. Apparently one of the busiest in the U.S for imports.

A curio given that the most recent poll I had seen (WSJ) suggested Trump still has a marginal lead. But I've been saying for most of 2024 so far that it was still pretty much 50/50 and that the Biden campaign has time to turn it around. Plus it wasn't like the Biden campaign was being pummelled in the polls like the UK Tories or several other European leaders are in current polls.

currently it looks close...so who knows. Campaign could be interesting..will Biden manage a long and exhausting campaign? Last time it was kind of during covid restrictions so easier.

Yeah but Trump is now in his late 70s, has to juggle the campaign around multiple high-profile legal cases and looks increasingly rambling in his public pronouncements, to the point where a whole raft of people are trying to diagnose him with an assortment of mental medical conditions. So it's not as if a long and exhausting campaign around those commitments will be any easier.

 

I say that, it is still bewildering we're seeing an old man vs an old man for the job. Indeed it's why I felt Republicans should've backed Haley, but clearly they just couldn't help themselves.

Biden looks like the walking dead.

There was a clip of him used on The Daily Show the other day where yeah, he wasn't exactly looking young. But then he is 80. There aren't many people out there who in their 80s look recognisably similar to the way they do in their 40s.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
