Some VCs & pontificators are reacting to a 15-20% drawdown from ATH’s as economic armageddon. The 10Y is at 1%. I notice some of these folks were not investing or operating in 2008, 2001, etc. Building a startup takes 8+ years not 8 days or 8 months.

6/ Compare those examples to Saturday. Here, citizen bystanders watch the shooter for several minutes and alert his presence to law enforcement, with no action to protect the candidate taken:

@AlexBerenson Why was the President left unprotected on a stage 26+ mins after a threat was identified? Compare to: 3/12/16 Dayton, OH: action 4 secs after threat 8/4/16 Las Vegas, NV: 4 secs after threat 11/5/16 Reno, NV: 6 secs 8/10/20 Wash, DC: < 1 min

@kathyprojo Regardless of this bill going nowhere, it doesn’t change the fact that real elected representatives actually signed on to propose it, and they don’t appear prepared to resign as a result of their actions nor do they seem to think this will affect their re-election prospects.
