A Conundrum - What would you choose?

Post by Matt » Mon Aug 03, 2020 10:24 pm

If you had the choice to either 1) end the pandemic tomorrow, meaning no new cases or deaths AND we could go back to our previous lives OR 2) guarantee a win for your chosen presidential candidate, which would you choose?

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

No conundrum here since I dislike both candidates pretty much equally.

Did I mention 1?

1.... I believe my candidate would win regardless. Math says so.

So, I have you down for a 2. You can only choose 1.

I can't believe that anyone would not choose (1). But I don't have any skin in the game.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

I believe Biden would win regardless so 1 for sure! Your question was guarantee a win, not letting things play out as they lie.

If I had clearly stated that the choices were mutually exclusive, would you still choose 1?

If we chose 1 and the pandemic didn’t exist Biden would still probably win. Math says so.

The border's locked down. Definitely won't be going this fall. Probably won't be going next winter. After 10 years, it's time to get reacquainted with an Ontario winter.. :rolleyes
