So is sounds like effectively his donation was supposed to force them to stay open and develop tech on the cheap that he could then take to use in his commercial systems.

Pretty sure they never left that space. Of all the modes available for getting nic these days vapes are probably the cheapest. Last I recall you could get a bottle that would last a week for $20 or so while cigarettes or the pouches they have now are closer to $10 a pack. Wouldn't be surprised if the big players wanted to cut e-smokes out to get some more revenue.
Big tobacco just mad that they have to make a bit less profit. Hoping to push people back to the good ol ash and fire money mill.
My guess, Reddit had a habit of every other question on their ask Reddit sub being some kind of 'what was the most sexy sex you ever sexed' to the point where it became a joke.
I didn't mean that you where, but if the Latino population shifted their votes more R this year it seems an odd explanation that they where offended by the democrats shifting right on policies. If that was the case then why would they go in with people who are even more to the right?
I think this whole question needs another field to it for the turnout difference. It may be (not to keep picking on Latinos but) they made up 5% in 2020 and 6% in 2024, but is that of all eligible voters, or of those that actually showed up? If 1/2 showed up last time and 1/3 did this time, but the ones who showed up where the more conservative portion then it would look like they 'shifted' right, but it wouldn't be real.
Looks about like one of those early RetroArch designs with parts from adafruit that you print a case for and stick a pi into. Kind of fun to make, less so to use.
I'd say... wait, what was the question?
So the solution to not liking the democrat shift right is to join in with the side off the scale right? I'm not following the logic there...
Do some rough math say there are 200,000,000 total eligible voters.
2024 would have 12,000,000 male Latino voters 2020 would have 10,000,000 based on the 3rd column
Even if 100% went left to right at most you have a 12M shift.
That shift though in absolute numbers was far less than that though based on the R/D split, so not a tremendous impact over all.
There was just a lot less people showing up over all for any reason.
Need some titles on those columns. I'm guessing red/blue are the usual party colors, but what is the 3rd?
The biggest factor really is disengagement. There where millions who where involved in 2020 that just skipped out this time.
