Sparta, I am not necessarily disagreeing with you. Everything we see on media/tv will have slant, but it is by taking in all viewpoints that you can stand back and see the bigger picture. The poverty one I was referring to is on youtube not netflix - it may have been on Prime. Done by a German I think - it is on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHDkALRz5Rk&t=6s&ab_channel=DWDocumentary. I'm not discussing the merits of the content, but what is important to understand is the people interviewed and their perspective. I did a lot of research academically on America and the Constitution - and what many people don't realise is that there is a great divide in America with regards to wealth, nationalism, political sides - and they don't exactly go in hand in hand in the way that you might expect. Whilst the election is important, and it will trigger a lot unrest the fundamental principles of the US government is that the federal government has a lot less say over the people than the states have. So whilst the federally controlled FDA could approve a vaccine, take up would be equally divided and I think enforced take up would be out of the question. What you see here this side of the pond is often taken from a perspective of how things work here, and my point is that America is a complex beast and it won't be as simple as Trump pushing through a vaccine. I'm not disagreeing that there won't be an impact on market sentiment - exactly for the reasons listed above. However, OUR market is not just the USA - and I think that will prevail and sales will prove that.
