Brutal defensive play by ND. The CB gets faked out when you know they can't complete a short pass and the safety could have easily jarred the ball loose instead of standing there with his hands out.

Knee jerk reaction but then higher. Moody’s is last to this party and last 2, especially S&P in 2011 were buys. Debt may be a problem but fear of it has been a losing bet for 40 years.

They are late but not wrong. Joe Biden's legacy will be Donald Trump. Sad but inescapable conclusion. Had he made the right choice , he might have walked away a heroic figure who rid the country of an autocrat and turned the economy around.

This would require an extended discussion of why each one of them is homeless & the reasons will be many. All for government assistance where appropriate but encampments are not among the solutions.
