At this time in the election cycle, October surprise, all kinds of baloney pops up for rapid distribution. I have NO idea if the Comey / Clinton connections is real or not. Were I interested, I would definitely have to verify it before allowing it to influence my thought process.

And that right there is much of the problem/dilemma... plenty of people have their mind made up, and won't verify any bad reports about their candidate. They just don't care. That, and it's getting harder and harder to verify facts these days.
FWIW, a little Wikipedia & a little googling verifies each item of this story.

I know people who are voting for Biden only because Trump is corrupt.

While back, I bumped onto a scientific study from somewheres in Eastern Europe. They were trying to account for why so many small fish in a certain stream were turning from male to female. The females now outnumbered the males like 9 to 1. Turned out, even those born male would go thru a metamorphosis. Research revealed there was some kinda hormones in birth control pills which do not break down. They got flushed with pee, went thru the water plant, wound up in a lake, hence to a crick, then into this stream, where, even in these diluted amounts, it affected the fish.
Don't ask me for exacts, cause I was so struck by the naked concept that I didn't pay attention to details clothing it.
Anyhoo, the bottom line: After, what, fifty years of worldwide oral contraceptive use, is a similar thing happening to humanity?
Given the rigidly enforced PC ignorance presently strangling academia, it's impossible to imagine anyone carrying on research to discover. But it sounds like a plausible clue.
That and Calhoun's NIMH "Rat Utopia" experiments from the early sixties.

Obviously... But why?

It was a slow movement away from disciplining children and having a father in the home.
In the 70s, you could still get spanked in school. Parents could pop you on the butt.
You learned not to do things, cause you got your butt beat if you did.
You learned respect, cause you'd get smacked.
You could spend the entire day out, as a kid and not be bothered or worried about.
It was not child abuse, it was discipline and today's society has no idea what discipline is. Kids without direction and discipline end up as adults without direction and discipline.
The 90s is when it went stupid. Those people who have to protect everyone from themselves had to call in every parent who's child was out alone.
If they had bruises on them, from being a kid and actually doing things outside, schools would call child welfare on the parents.
Society has given in to the morons and allowed this to happen.
Today, people are being charged with child neglect for letting their kids walk a block away to a park by themselves.

Drug company insiders are profiting handsomely from the world’s desperate hope for a COVID-19 vaccine: Insiders at companies developing COVID-19 vaccines and treatments aren’t waiting until they finish the job to collect their reward. Executives, board members, and related investment funds have made fortunes from the rise in their companies' stock prices before a single vaccine has proven safe or a game-changing treatment has been approved.
Since March, these insiders at a dozen companies have sold more than $1.3 billion in stock, up from just $74 million in the same period last year, according to information compiled by Equilar, a data provider based in Redwood City, Calif., and analyzed by the Globe.
It's probably full of nasty/greedy people, and goes beyond what you or I could imagine. But the idea that their stock prices went up and their executives, board members and fund-holders made bookoo bucks is just part of how the market works. The companies had a horse in the race and investors put money on their favorite horses. If anyone thinks that whole shebang needs fixing, it would be interesting to hear how they think it should be done.
^^^ Comrade, the State is all and all comes from the State. These capitalist pigdog pharma companies must give to the State so the State is able to give to you. The State knows what is best for you and your money.
Now, excuse me, spasibo. I must meet my "nieces" at my dacha. Go back to work for the glory of the Motherland, Comrade!
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

I think that the issue at hand is insider trading, which is illegal. Just ask Martha Stewart. Trading stocks is legal as long as you're not using inside information to your advantage.

The problem is that the "fact checkers" all seem to be biased to the left.

I'm always amazed when people say, I'm not voting for so and so, cause they are corrupt.
Like there are really any honest politicians.
Oh yeah, I forgot,, the media says they did this or that, cause we can trust the media.
I sometimes wonder who lies the most, the media or politicians.

I saw a movie where a guy ordered cranberry juice in a bar and was asked if he was on his period, does that count?
