A few different things on the USA

Riots
Me thinks the main reason for the riots is the also f faith in the political process. Too many Yanks do not think politicians will change anything for the better thus black people will continue to be killed by policeman.
If you do not think the political process wil do anything then rioting in some way makes sense.
It follows if this is the case the 'Trump solution' is no solution

Election
Andrew Gelman is teaming up with some people to provide a model and thus forecasts for the economist. Hence reading florida-comparing-economist-and-fivethirtyeight-forecasts  is very interesting as are some of the comments.
And this more-on-that-fivethirtyeight-prediction-that-biden-might-only-get-42-of-the-vote-in-florida

FDA
The FDA has been very naughty. Andrew Gelman has things to say
