  1. Unlike you.. I do not view prediction as absolute evidence. Lots of predictions made in this world never come to fruition. The fact that you take it so literal and react so reflexively says a lot about you. Again... your zealousness and passion preclude you from being remotely objective or logical. Its a good thing that I am not like you. If I took every claimant seriously... I would have one miserable life.
  2. I do not see your prediction coming to fruition. If by the incredibly small chance it did, it would be in Washington DC. That's only about 2.591 miles away. None of my friends or family were involved in Jan. 6 and would not be the type to venture to DC and protest. As for my street.. its remarkably boring. Very middle class suburb with no wealthy section.. all pretty uniformally middle class.
  3. Well.. hate to burst the bubble but at the present moment.. the President does not control inflation. Yes, the recent spike in inflation was tied to Biden's covid-era stimulus payouts. But that time has passed and now it is simple supply and demand.
  4. Those options are not the same as tolerate. Tolerate implies that you have a choice to listen, read, watch, smell, whatever and choose to endure it.
  5. And like always.. you can't stay on topic. Your zealousness precludes you from doing so. As someone who deals intimately with the unemployment rate (LAUS)... your lack of knowledge is on display. Well.. I gave you a chance but you showed that you can't be objective.
  6. not all that surprising. Stock prices when viewed in the short term are mostly an indication of societal fears, opinions, and such. Spread it out to six months or so and the statistical white noise smoothes out and it is connected to fundamentals such as productivity, capital investment, etc.
  7. Tolerance implies that you have a choice and are choosing to deal with something. You have zero choice in this matter.
  8. Being as you do not own this site.. you really have no choice.
  9. or not. One decision's are the main variable in the outcome. Only real change I can see coming is that I move to a more rural area and so have a few issues acquiring certain goods in as timely a fashion as I do now.
  10. "Science"... this is par for the course for your types. So tell me what you would have done if you were the governor of a given state during the pandemic and NOT have a rising unemployment rate? Repeat.. your policy can not result in a rise in the unemployment rate in any way. Now, I do know that you really have no idea how the unemployment rate is calculated.. Yes, you can go to Google and get a simplistic view of it. However, the real nuts and bolts of it are beyond your biased, partisan mind.
  11. the simple minded types are the ones who need to resort to ad hominem attacks. Simple minded types also have no grasp of nuance, context, or human nature.
  12. No matter who would have been in office.. the outcome is the same. Yes, he did not handle it perfectly but even if he had.. the unemployment rates would have been skyhigh for quite some time. Besides... it was state policies that led to the shutdowns hence the high unemployment rates.. Now.. I know exactly what you will do. You will veer off into the weeds with your usual biased, partisan, subjective rants.. To prove me wrong.. stay on the topic of the unemployment rate in individual states.
  13. who knows. not going to go build a proverbial bomb shelter based on prediction. Most likely.. life is the same though. My actions dictate more of my personal outcomes than politics does.
  14. I saw the video and there is no way that there were 10,000 in attendance. However, this is standard operating for politicians not just Trump.
  15. amount of money raised is not a meaningful statistic to me. Polling numbers along with economic data such as prices, employment, wages, gdp per capita, etc. in September/October are what tell the true story.
  16. The rise in unemployment during Trump's time was due to covid. It is purely bad luck that the covid pandemic occurred during the end of his term. If Covid hits in November 2020 and not Feburary/March 2020... the numbers and therefore the narrative change. It is a simple matter of reading the writing on the wall.. not any allegiance to Trump. Personally.. I think that Trump is an id10t but folks like him so that's how it goes.
  17. Its quite simple. Last time that Trump won.. life was much the same in the months/years after as it was before. Same house, same wife, same kids, same job, same car... The only real difference was the composition of the outside noise...
  18. I am not talking about the FBI.... you are. My comment is purely on how everyone is a sore loser.
  19. yes. in this case.. he came in 4th and only received 6% of the vote.
  20. https://oira.harvard.edu/factbook/fact-book-degrees/ this is degrees awarded but I think that the more telling number is the composition of majors in a cohort from year 2 to completion. Not everyone completes the degree.
  21. ^^^ case in point. No matter the result, the losing side will insist that it was rigged. We had a candidate for some small county office that lost decidedly. He demanded a recount, paid for it, and when it was reaffirmed he tried to sue. When prompted for evidence, his schpiel was, "aint it obvious?"
  22. your link shows intended major not actual major. Do you have any data as to what the breakdown of majors is for students who have attended for 2+ years. Most freshmen change their major. They come in with high ideals and then practical reality changes your views. Your starting combing job ads and after a few months of this.. you discover some majors do not translate to a job directly.
  23. this threads relies 100% on the assumption that we only have ONE outlet for information/news. It also relies on the assumption that consumption of said information is mandatory and that we have to follow its directives. Both can be disproven in seconds.
  24. Yes, I know that you have a very narrow focus on only the presidential election. I look at the macro picture as well as the micro picture... macro is composed of micro...
  25. I hate to burst your bubble but the sore loser act is not confined to just the last two presidential elections. It has spread everywhere. It is ubiquitous.
