Once the votes were counted in the 2020 presidential election, the result was clear: The pollsters had lost once again. Biden ended up winning the national vote by less than 4.5 points—a lead that barely let him eke out victory in the Electoral College. View Full Image Graphic: WSJThe industry’s analysis of 2020 polling, conducted by a select committee of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, was full of dour news.

BMW is taking a step further into sustainability by utilizing fully electric trucks to transport EV components, though it’s not entering the truck market. Partnering with German company Designwerk, BMW now uses two electric trucks to haul battery cells and modules from the BMW Allee warehouse to its battery production center in Leipzig. This switch from diesel to electric trucks is projected to save BMW around nine tons of CO2 emissions annually. Additionally, the electric trucks are quieter, reducing noise levels by about five decibels compared to diesel alternatives. The facility, where BMW once built the iconic i3 and i8, can now produce up to 300,000 battery packs annually with a workforce of around 1,000 employees.

Having shifted focus to its more vibrant Horizon series following PS4 launch game Killzone: Shadow Fall, the studio's art director Roy Postma has commented that the studio was "done with it as a team". The comments come from an interview about LEGO Horizon Adventures, where it's revealed LEGO approached Sony about the idea of a LEGO game following the release of its Tallneck LEGO set. Talking about switching from the dark and gritty world of Killzone to the colourful post-apocalyptic setting of Horizon, Postma said: "We were done with it [Killzone] as a team. Guerrilla Games created Killzone titles from 2004 until 2013, spanning five entries across four consoles.

Three basic assumptions underpin the simple narratives: Government spending matters, monetary policy matters and there is a natural link between growth, unemployment and inflation. Investors who still have a touching faith in economic forecasts should consider the consensus one, two and three years ago. By October 2022, that growth for the year had dropped to 1.7%, and economists were sure that recession was imminent. The Fed’s “dot plot" median was even more depressing, projecting 2022 growth of just 0.2%. Simple narratives can be very useful when examining how markets behave, but don’t expect them to explain the economy.
