Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Back when I was a GTA, I thought it was crazy there were engineering students that would consistently **** up converting meters to kilometers. That would have been ole sleepy Joe.

Coincidentally I just spent the evening doing metric conversions with my daughter for her 9th grade chemistry class. A college engineering student effing those up should have think about a career in politics.

I think his point was converting one something , compared to 1,000 of the same something.

Reminds me of the newscasters that agreed with the tweet about all the money Bloomberg spent on his campaign and the tweeter said he could have just given every American 1 million dollars. And the newscasters were like yeah, exactly.

I would have put my million to better use than Bloomberg did.
 
Also this:
Covid has brought on government spending like never before and deficits are burgeoning around the world. The Congressional Budget Office predicts the US federal budget deficit will be $3.3 trillion at the end of the year — more than triple of what it was in 2019.
Debt might be one of the most prominent characteristics of today's capitalism, said Christine Desan, professor of law at Harvard.

The debt we've racked up this year is for exactly the type of expenditures you'd see under a more socialist system. So how will that expense magically go away under a revamped system? Maybe make it "free"?
 
A double standard for what, exactly? Covid immunity is not a settled science, that’s a fact. Covid death numbers are a fact that are refuted by conspiracy theorists trying to downplay severity because of political views. Big difference.
Its seems like you should hold the same level of scrutiny to everything regarding the same subject matter. You are admitting to not holding the same level because you are predisposed to some of the numbers.

The Covid death numbers arent a fact. It may be what the CDC reports but that doesnt make them true considering they get their info from states who are consistently wrong. Not sure if it's still the same but back in july but a good number of the new deaths reported were actually old deaths that hadnt been caught.

The states are also playing around with their numbers beyond just the logistics. You are seeing shifts in Covid to probable Covid. The total doesnt change as reported but the data behind it does.

And my objection has nothing to do with the semantics of the 6%. There is enough other volatility in the data where standing behind the CDC numbers 100% while questioning the good news like you are doing is absolutely a double standard.
