@BufftonBeotch I'm one of those people who believe that the majority of Americans are too stupid to understand statistics and they can be swayed by a biased news media into believing almost anything. When the rate of gun deaths are declining steadily, these people can be easily swayed to believe that there is a crisis of gun deaths. It's not limited to guns. They are also conned into believing that: 1. Humans will perish due to climate change within 12 years. 2. There is "systemic racism" in police departments where the police chiefs are African-American and the majority of police officers are minorities. 3. The national debt of >$28,000,000,000,000 does not matter. I could go on, but I have work to do.

BD66 replies on Apr 18, 2021:
@LenHazell53 I think we are making the similar points, the police that killed Duante Wright were not prepared for a physical confrontation. They didn't have to be 6'4+ or 220 pounds plus to subdue him. With respect to Adam Toledo, it was 2:30 in the morning, they chased down a kid with a gun in his hand, told him to drop the weapon, and raise his hands, but he started to raise his hands (with the gun) before he dropped it. They had every reason to fear for their lives. To claim otherwise is complete propaganda by the news media.

@AnneWimsey That's the story. If Jesus's father was God, you have no idea what God looked like, so you would have no idea what Jesus would look like. So if someone wants to believe a child was conceived by a virgin mother and a father who created 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, then they can make the offspring of that union look anyway they believe him to look.
I have no doubt.

@barjoe Go to YouTube and search for "Attacks on Asian Americans" You will find that the attacks they show and discuss happen in cities like San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, and NYC. These attacks are in cities with Democratic Mayors, in states with Democratic Governors. These people don't vote for Donald Trump, they don't look to Donald Trump for guidance. The attacks are not happening in rural areas where farmers paint "Trump" on their barns. However, you, and other Democrats are taking the opportunity to scapegoat Republicans for attacks in Democratic cities and Democratic towns.

@whiskywoman I have pointed you to multiple links from the election litigation tracker at Stanford Law School. The COVID-Related Election Litigation Tracker is a project of the Stanford-MIT Healthy Elections Project. The database was developed and is maintained by a dedicated team of undergraduates, law students and recent graduates, led by Zahavah Levine, co-coordinator of the Healthy Elections Project, with exceptional contributions from Alexandra (Mac) Taylor, Bradley Lawrence, Connor Clerkin, Sara Watson and Tyler Bishop. Our partner in the COVID-Related Election Litigation Tracker is Justin Levitt, Professor of Law and Gerald T. McLaughlin Fellow, Loyola Law School, who compiled and published a list of pandemic-related election law cases on which we relied heavily. He continues to help us update the cases and court documents in the database. The Stanford-MIT Healthy Elections Project The Stanford-MIT Healthy Elections Project also gratefully acknowledges the generous pro bono and volunteer contributions of the following people/entities in the compilation and development of the COVID-Related Election Litigation Tracker, without whom this project would not have been possible: Morrison & Foerster LLP Juan-Carlos Sanchez, Director of Technology for Empirical Research, Stanford Rock Center for Corporate Governance If you took the time to click on each link I provided, you can see all the case information, then you can do a Google Search and confirm that Trump and the GOP did indeed win each one of those cases. https://www.kcrg.com/2020/08/27/judge-grants-trump-motion-to-block-absentee-requests-in-linn-county/ If you can find a case from multiple sources, and find the outcome of that case from multiple sources, calling the existence of that case "lies" makes you sound a whole lot like a flat-earther.

@BTHT New York: 47,259 deaths 19,453,561 people Florida 30,224 deaths 21,477,737 people I don't understand why are you subtracting 13,382 from New York's death count. Is the the "Oops" when Cuomo sent the Covid-19 patients into the nursing homes, and you want to start over after that. Even if you do subtract the 13,382 deaths, you still get more deaths in New York than you get in Florida. Florida has a significantly higher population. Florida has more elderly people. Florida's economy has been more open then New York's economy. I don't see how Cuomo can compete with DeSantis on any of these metrics.

@BTHT If you look at deaths per million, Florida ranks #28 out of the 50 states and DC. Florida's 1407 deaths per million is less than the USA as a whole which is 1550 deaths per million. How can you try to make DeSantis the worst governor in the USA when: 1. He has done the most to keep his state's economy moving forward. 2. He probably has the largest percentage of elderly in the country. 3. The death rates in his state are lower than average for the USA. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ What has he done to be the worst governor?

@Lizard_of_Ahaz It's usually better to try to explain something using the simplest economic models (like the law of supply and demand), vs. much more complex models (like Kuznet's curve). Kuznet may have had a reasonably accurate model in the 1950's when most of the world economies were closed, so you could do analysis on a country by country basis (and during the height of the Cold War). However once the Cold War ended, globalization of production became more common, and the internet emerged, It doesn't make sense to rely on that model.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz There is a supply for labor. There is a demand for labor. The place where the supply curve and the demand curve meet is the price for labor. When the Cold War ended, the supply of labor available to corporations increased by a factor of 5, so the mill and garment workers in New England lost their jobs and the mill workers in India and India got jobs at pay rates of less than 1/10 of the mill and garment workers. It was great for the mill and garment workers in India and Southeast Asian countries. It was great for the CEOs and stockholders of companies engaged in producing clothing. It was terrible for US workers who made their living producing clothing.

@redbai Your numbers are way off. Here are the penalties for not being on an ACA compliant insurance policy. You may have heard that the penalty for not having health insurance is only $95 for the year, but that’s only for certain people. Here’s the full formula. For the 2014 tax year, you’ll pay the greater of these two numbers: A. 1 percent of your household income above $10,000, up to a maximum of $2,448 per person; or B. $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, up to a family maximum of $285. So before Obamacare: 6K/year in premiums for decent insurance. After Obamacare: No insurance plus a penalty of 1% of income per year for not having insurance.

@redbai The Insurance Companies did not write the ACA legislation and sign it into law. The insurance companies lobbied the (either ignorant or corrupt) Democratic Congressmen into creating the Affordable Care Act, which forced people like me to buy insurance from insurance companies regardless of the price. They also forced people like me to buy coverage for all types of conditions whether I wanted coverage or not. That has bankrupted many people like me, and it has led to spectacular profits and market caps for the insurance companies.

@johnnyrobish You live in Woodland Hills, CA? I lived there most of 1987 when I worked a Hughes Aircraft Company. I had a great time. Playing volleyball at Redondo and Hermosa Beaches, skiing at Mammoth Mountian. Trips to San Diego and the SF Bay. On my 21st birthday, my friends brought me to the Tropicana for mud wrestling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIDE6-iZxZ4

@Robecology I'm a big fan of Dawkins. He just came up with a very sloppy definition of Agnostic.

BD66 replies on Dec 16, 2020:
@Robecology I have a PhD in statistical signal processing, and Dawkins has a PhD in Biology, so he knows a lot more about Biology than I do, but he's extremely sloppy in talking about statistics and probabilities. If you express an Agnostic's belief in pure probability terms, and Agnostic believes: The probability that some form or God (or some controlling entity) exists is between 0 and 1. Dawkins has stated that an Agnostic believes: The probability that some form or God (or controlling entity) exists is 0.5. That's why his definition is terrible.

BD66 replies on Dec 16, 2020:
@Robecology Dawkins has many clever quotes, and a few bad ones. Overall I'm a fan. He just missed on the definition of agnostic: agnostic: noun a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God. There is nothing in the definition that states the probability of God existing is 50%.
When you really need expert medical advice

@Lizard_of_Ahaz What "minimum wage employee" are you talking about? Can you explain why you believe we have a difference of opinion on "listening to the opinions of a minimum wage employee"? Do you have me confused with someone else?

Virologists wear this

Those suits are 99.999% effective at stopping the spread of a virus. If a mask is 80% effective, that's still fantastic. Wearing masks will save hundreds of thousands of lives.

@Thirst2learn So surgery teams, doctors, and nurses should stop wearing masks?
