Winners, Losers and Links
Winners
Virginia Parents - Heightened awareness of education means more focus on education policy and execution. We will see if Governor Youngkin delivers.
Vaxx Salesmen - Approval for covid vaccines for children happened and the roll out starts. They will blow out quarterly EPS.
Screen addicts - Facebook’s Meta VR world will formalize the online experience for many users. To steal from Snowcrash, they had become gargoyles. This makes it official.
Losers
The Progressive Wing - Pet issues were defeated in blue cities. Buffalo’s socialist candidate for mayor who won the Democratic primary with much fanfare lost to the incumbent as a write in. Seattle of all places has a Republican city attorney. The intra-left fight will be intense as the blame game plays out.
Swing Democrats - Redistricting will help, but this is not a good result for them to see going into ‘22. New Jersey’s results should bother them more than Virginia.
Secretary Buttigieg - No end in sight for the port jam. Question will be how bad are shortages for Black Friday shopping. His cabinet role was to give him visibility and gravitas for future roles. This failure will stick to him as his resume will be empty and have this albatross if it doesn’t turn around quickly.
The Steele Dossier Crowd - This is the roll up part of the op.
