An article posted this Wednesday on the New York Times called  "DealBook: Will It Be Billionaire vs. Billionaire in the 2020 Election?" 
 The elections of 2020 are being described as "billionaire vs billionaire." This article talks about Mr Bloomerg, a 77 year old billionaire who is running for presidency. According to this news, Mr. Bloomerg has many obstacles to win the elections, since he has been talking in inappropriate ways about woman, has history of political baggage and a record of championing law enforcement policies that disproportionately targeted black and Latino men. However I believe that U.S. elections should not be based or titled in those terms. (Billionaire vs billionaire) because the country.s elections are in matter of which one of the many candidates knows more about U.S. economy, politics, and its population, not about how much money each candidate has or how may votes they can buy.

    Hola Nancy,

    It is interesting to see the range of Democratic candidates in terms of quantity as well as quality. It surprises me very much that someone, such as Bloomberg is able to run for presidency. Not that I am sure he hasn't had his share of political experience however, how does an individual towards the end of the nominations declare a presidential bit. The use of "billionaire" vs "billionaire" is also surprising to me. It suggests that they are better citizens or above the average citizen. The privilege an individual has to one day wake up and say "you know what, I'm running for president because I don't like how things are and want to change them how I see fit." This probably sounds like someone you know (cough) already holding the Commander in Chief chair. Much like my feelings for actors and actresses especially in food shows/talk shows (which may differ from yours) I would like to see regular people given the chance to try and do these things. Bloomberg is especially buying his way into the campaign seemingly because of preference to his opinion. Our vote is supposed to matter and a person buying into my vote is the opposite of a democracy! Majority of citizens in the previously election feel as though their voices have been squelched by political agendas and biases and a new candidate buying into what they want only seems to lessen the power of our voices!

    Stay safe during the holiday season!

The national biggest physician's groups are concerned about the use of e-cigarettes, for underage vaping and several types of consumers, like adolescents. They are trying to regulate the sales of electronic cigarettes, principally to prevent younger generations to get addicted to flavored nicotine and eventually to begin smoking more and more. The vape industry is already regulated by the FDA, however each year more underage teenagers are getting into this "epidemic" and many of them declare that they like vaping because it has different fruity flavors, such as:grape, mint, strawberry, etc. for this specific reason, the Government wants to ban flavored nicotine so that teenagers do not feel attracted to vaping by the flavor inside the chemical. A lot of people have a huge lack of knowledge about vaping products that is many people might feel like flavored nicotine is less harmful than actual cigarettes and other vaping products.

The article read was about if DACA should be terminated or not. According to the examples presented by the author, I believe that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals should not be terminated as it was for a short period of time in 2017. The author states that Kids who have been getting Daca are actually helping the country's economy and doing something good for the entire population. Even when Daca does not guide them to citizenship or residency, it protects them from deportation, and gives them the opportunity to work legally here in the United States, however, as said in the article, Trump's administration did not want to accept anymore applications, and this instead of being helpful is just hurting not only the new children coming and making a living here but also the country in General I also completely agree in the fact that everyone who has Daca is actually being a contributor to the country because they do have to be checked before getting the permission, those childr
