Two best days of my life - the day I bought my boat, and the day I sold my boat.

My guess is this is true. Everything has gotten SUPER confusing however recently as now the Democratic party, by almost any normal measure, is the party for rich people. Disorienting.

Really? That doesn't resonate. I think the wealthy skew republican. Apart from just a general sense that the wealthy people in my life tend to be republican, I also think there's a theoretical reason why that skew would happen: (1) democrats typically support bills that raise taxes on the rich (2) possession of wealth incentivizes protection of wealth (3) that incentive presumably biases wealthy people against the party that wants to raise their taxes, i.e. against the democrats. Thoughts?

If you hang out with Bitcoiners, you will find rich Republicans. If you hang out among the (former) Tesla owners of California, you will find only rich Democrats... But looking at stats like this, looks like higher income people did skew democratic in 2024.. Although "income over 200k" is not rich...

Yeah but that's California, everything skews democrat there
> looks like higher income people did skew democratic in 2024.. Although "income over 200k" is not rich...
I'd like to see stats for income over 400k
That's rich in Ohio where I'm from, I don't know if it's rich in California though

We did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at cody@twelve.cash, over a period of about 10 hours. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. We recommend that you use a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.

That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Do you actual believe all republicans are wealthy or that by their political leanings it makes them want to go out and buy a boat?

No

No, I think two of the reasons people own their own boats are (1) for work and (2) for pleasure
(1) tends to be independent workers, who skew republican
(2) tends to be the wealthy, who also skew republican
It struck me as a strange thought but plausible and would make a good, fiery nostr post
And here we are

Here's a data point for you then. I own a boat. I haven't been a registered Republican since 2016-ish.

I'd bet if you did it on numbers yes. But I bet if you did it on cost of the boat it'd be the opposite.

Oops, I think I misinterpreted you
Do you mean, republican boats tend skew crappy and democrat boats skew nice?
I suppose that sounds plausible
Democrats who can't afford a nice boat likely won't buy a crappy one either
But republicans might buy a crappy boat for business purposes (e.g. an independent fisherman), so all the crappy boats end up republican owned and the yachts are divided between rich republicans and rich democrats
But the crappy boats drag down the republican skew and make it so that the "average" republican boat costs less than the "average" democrat boat

Zap test on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at f08be5@lnwallet.app, over a period of 17 minutes. All six attempts were successful. Please check on your end to be sure you received. Average zap time was 4412ms (4.4 seconds). We consider this zap time slow... generally, zaps should complete in under two seconds. (Other Nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) We recommend you receive zaps with a well-connected, cloud-based Lightning node to reduce your latency.
