Estimates show that early votes could surpass 90 million and may even reach 100 million before our November 3 election.  Right now, the number of voters who have already cast their ballots totals about 58 million. There has been an increase in early voting in swing states, too. For instance, Pennsylvania has already seen approximately 1.4 million votes, which is 1.2 million more than all the early votes in the 2016 election. What does this trend mean for each presidential candidate?

He says:   While most people are focusing on face masks and stimulus checks... they're ignoring what's really happening... the NEXT big and inevitable event, which will determine your financial future... and how much you have for retirement.   This same man, a renowned stock market expert followed by hundreds of thousands of readers, also predicted the collapse of General Motors, the bankruptcy of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2008, and the exact bottom of the market earlier this year. FINANCE BRIEF This is how NFLX is changing how Disney charges for its new movies If you've seen the new film Over the Moon, then you likely understand the hype. Though it is reminiscent of a Disney blockbuster with its musical numbers and celebrated cast, it is actually streaming on Netflix right now, and, if you are a subscriber, you don't have to pay extra to watch it. This move--skipping theatres and a "premium video on demand option"--could ultimately hurt Disney+, who in recent months charged their subscribers a whopping $30 to watch Mulan when it was first released.  But, perhaps Disney+ has learned from Mulan, as it plans to release Soul for its subscribers at no additional cost this Christmas. And with new movies of Disney-quality playing for free over on Netflix (Over the Moon was directed by Glen Keane, a Disney character animator), it seems like it would be tough to charge such a steep price on top of a Disney+ subscription.

BUSINESS BRIEF Toy companies are cutting back on plastic to reduce waste Many large toy companies are trying to become more eco-friendly after decades of relying on environmentally harmful plastic products and packaging. The pandemic has created an unanticipated surge in demand for toys. Holiday toy sales are expected to be huge this year as well.  Finding an alternative to plastic is crucial to tackling climate change. Both the production and discarding of plastic has had devastating effects on the planet. "Eco-friendly" marketing is also essential for companies as shoppers are increasingly conscious about how their choices affect the earth.
