Last November, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that, as secretary of health and human services, he would not “take away anybody’s vaccines.” If you believed him, you were duped.

This has been surprisingly true even for the notoriously pessimistic levfin folks I talk to.
Many of the optimists on Wall Street are choosing to believe that the President-elect Trump promises they want to see fulfilled are going to become reality, while dismissing those they think would be bad for the economy as mere posturing.

Investors and executives are often emphasizing what they like in the president-elect’s agenda, while dismissing what they don’t as mere posturing.

Denzel Curry's "King of the Mischievous South" volumes 1 and 2 are closer in concept to Tyler Childers "Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven" than it is to the Charlie XCX's Brat remix records. Does that sentence make sense to anyone or is that too much cross-genre analysis?
