It’s a return of jobs lost during COVID.

Has nothing to do with Biden.

Never trust their numbers anyway. They are propagandists.

Yes you fricking do. Some of us remember the beatings you used to take when you'd try pushing gun control.

Sorry for proving that we all want gun control, I'm just a little more sane about it than you.

You didn't.

Regardless, I'm referring to your rudimentary understanding of data analysis.

Have you looked at the economic numbers Reagan's admin. posted in the 80's? You must be smoking crack if you think anything about his economics was a disaster. Carter's and Bidens are disasters. The Carter admin. should be a study guide on what not to do if you want a healthy economy. Unfortunately Biden told Carter to hold his beer and watch this.

I know you claim that we disagree that your buddy John Lott is a scammer, but we both know he is.

Our only real disagreement is your inability to understand statistics. A shame you never bothered to learn them, but too late to correct that.

Here are our 3 largest cities (I think Chicago is still above Houston)


I could see that…the 70’s and early 80’s were when single parent and welfare mothers, the cocaine and drug industry, old homeless hippies and other useless bums, urban gang culture, crack houses and all of that started taking off in cities. It took a while to compensate and control it.

If you didn’t live in New Jack City or Compton though life was good.

If you live in almost all of those same places today, life is better.

AND the cities that economically drive the country are also better.

That's the point. We're not going backwards.

My favorite part of all of this is how quickly you shut down when we actually start digging into statistics.

I'll never forget making you look like an idiot with Obama's CDC study.

Your memory, as usual, is failing.

The problem is once I explain why the numbers you're using are biased, you continue to insist they're true. At that point, there's no point in discussing it with you further until you learn about that concept.

There's no inherent bias in statistical data. Bias is introduced in data collection, analysis, and conclusions drawn from that analysis.

...and that's why you fail. You don't understand this like I do, and you never will.

...Are you under the mistaken impression that data can exist without data collection or analysis?

...Do you really not understand that underlying factors could bias the data, even if the collection process is neutral and the analysis is excellent?


Wow, I didn't realize until just now that you were so ignorant - I thought it was just an act. I guess you really can't teach an old dog new tricks (or simple statistics).

Data does exist independent of data collection and analysis.

The frick are you even talking about...

You can't really calculate statistics on data if you haven't collected it, and the act of conducting those tests is called analysis.

Is the problem that you need smaller words to understand? Is this a language barrier, or should we wait until you're more alert in the morning?

So what. I'm calling out your inexperience and incompetence in the field.

You're stupid enough to believe that there's inherent bias in data. If you had any self-awareness, you'd shut it down there.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on tigerdroppings.

Not the civil war.
Not the Great Depression.
Not WW2.

Nope, today I learned 1988 was the worst year in national history.

Cultural marxists are using critical theory to slowly dismantle western civilization. That’s really what is happening.
