'The threats to our democracy aren’t as stark as inflation or gas prices. Yet nothing is more important.'
U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, left, and her husband Paul Pelosi, pose for the media outside of 10 Downing St. in central London, on Sept. 16, 2021. Paul Pelosi faces a long recovery after an intruder attacked him with a hammer on Oct. 28 in their San Francisco home. As campaign days dwindle down to a precious few, Republican candidates around the country are like tail-swishing Rovers pawing at the door, eager to hit the backyard and romp.
His address was a warning also that too many Republicans, including a majority of the candidates for House, Senate and key statewide offices, still proclaim the Big Lie two years after the 2020 election. Incredibly, candidates who may be swept into office in a few days still refuse to accept the basic premise of a healthy democracy that election results are final - until the next election.
Some of those loud individuals, and even some Republicans not particularly fond of Donald Trump, such as Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, were quick to dismiss Biden’s speech as hyper-partisan. Fox News, as per usual, chose the hyperbolic headline option: “Biden suggests voting for Republicans is a threat to democracy.”
A failure to do so could pave the way for the most dangerous man ever to occupy the White House to return even if he, once again, loses the election.Many voters next week will make their decision on more immediate concerns — not on the environment or Ukraine, not even on abortion rights, but on the price of gas and groceries, a concern about violent crime, a belief that immigrant hordes are invading.

Breakingviews - Maersk recession pain could yet get more acuteA.P. Moller Maersk is experiencing the dark side of relief in the world’s recovering supply chains. The $38 billion Danish shipping giant made nearly $11 billion of EBITDA in the three months ending September, beating analysts’ expectations, but also warned that a global recession will drive demand for containers down 2% to 4% in 2022, worse than the minus 1% to plus 1% Chief Executive Soren Skou previously predicted. The gloomy outlook is a reversal of fortunes for Maersk, which enjoyed record operating profit when supply chain bottlenecks drove up the average cost of shipping one forty foot container from A to B to $11,000 during the pandemic. In 2019, these rates hovered around $1,300. They have now fallen below $4,000, and a recession could drive them down further.
