Not only that, the American companies sell the very same data on the open market but where’s the pearl clutching for that? Makes me so mad because it’s all fine if the Chinese buy it with cash.

Nah man that’s multiple quarters in the future and every drop the US can produce and sell will get out there meaning maximum profits. For long term you’re right. Which longterm it’s probably the right direction. It should have stayed $4-$5 from back when Bush/Obama was in office. Alternatives would already be here.

Listen man, I get it, you don’t like dark roasts but you don’t have to yuck other peoples yums. Could they get a better one than at Starbucks? Sure. Is there anything wrong with a nice dark roast? No.

Just finished both and thought that at first but season 2 grew on me and fit the season theme better. Choreography for season 1 though was definitely more fun. Just songs though, both slap.

Sure but I would say racism had a strong role here otherwise we wouldn’t have the 3/5ths compromise in regards to representative count and EC votes. The EC doesn’t even have to vote the way the state does they are free people that many swear an oath to respect the vote but we’ve seen lately what rules with no actual enforcement mechanisms leads to.

What are these improvements you speak of? Pretty sure it’s been enshitified.

That’s exactly what I’m suggesting.

If fewer people vote, it often favors the republicans. When more people vote it goes the other way. If it’s 60:40 and 100 people vote that’s 20 people. If it’s a thousand it’s 200 more people. I have a strong suspicion that the Republican party has been cheating for a long time which is why they claim the democrats have to be when they win. They always tell on themselves.

Because democrat voters out number Republican voters. If you increase the votes you increase the democrat votes by nature of increasing the number of votes collected. This isn’t factoring secondaries like demographics.

Insurance risk pools are by states because insurance is regulated that way. However State Farm is being investigated for trying to blend state risk pools and increasing rates going against the data.
