January will be brutal if Congress and the WH don’t act soon. On Dec 31, ~13.4m people will be left with no income after unemployment insurance ends. Also on Dec 31: the CDC eviction moratorium expires. https://t.co/UCgj2tOqRH

hits me that the advertising biz is one that probably is not hurting much-the money just keeps coming, this just retweeted by Ken Vogel:

BREAKING:

Pro Biden SuperPAC "Future Forward" (FF PAC), notably funded by Eric Schmidt and Sixteen Thirty Fund, places a *massive* $32M+ ad buy in support of Joe Biden.

FF PAC, who has only reported receiving $8M+ through August, has spent $50M+ in roughly the last week. pic.twitter.com/OtCGA8QJe2

So when the election is over and everybody's spent, are they going to claim they can't afford no more for anything else?

Must admit that it bugs me that we have to do things this way--$100 million just on running against Lindsey Graham. Think of what else could be done with that. It's obscene.

Biden campaign itself has $400 million cash, without PAC money added in:

The fundraising number that the Biden campaign just posted is a major Wow. I mean wow. They have over $400 million cash on hand to finish the campaign with 20 days left. I have never seen anything like this. Whoa.

Edit to add--

NEW: The Biden campaign says it raised $383 million in September along with the DNC and joint fundraising efforts — a new record-breaking one-month sum, topping its August record of $364.5 million.https://t.co/NtRMobgKby

And yet all we see are Lincoln Project & other independent ads?

It's 2009 deja vu - GOP drops its pile of shit in the new President's lap without any effort to soften the damage, and then starts sniping at the Administration before its in office to carry over for 4/8 more years.
Meanwhile they'll have stripped all the fittings and furniture and what not, and left their figurative former quarters a mess. Wait for the new "Tea Party" - the rebranded Republican assholes pretending they care about deficits and what-not while making a tidy profit watching things go tits up.
