the median not the average :eng101:

Average can mean mode, median, or mean. If there are 1000 people in a town and 999 have a total net worth of 1000 dollars each and one has a total net worth of 50 billion, you would not say that the average person in that town has a net worth of over 50 million dollars.

A GOP politician who physically assaulted a reporter on the eve of the election while simultaneously working to take healthcare away from his voters is going to win an election tomorrow. It absolutely isn't.

It doesn't matter one way or the other because a Republican in a heavily conservative district is actually having to fight, and if he wins it's going to be relatively narrow

Thus why it's half and not the entire country.

It doesn't change the fact that he is going to win and "close" doesn't matter in the slightest when a candidate who physically assaulted someone on the eve of the election can't lose an election.

Nothing pisses me off more than the whole "work is your only reason to live" mentality

It's fun to hear old people that have pensions talk about young people and their bleak outlook on retirement. I saw some articles a few months back saying that, averaging market growth today vs inflation, the newest folks to the workforce need to start saving at 22% of their income to even hope to retire.

Find me a 22-29 year old that can somehow save 22% of their income for retirement whilst saving up for a house and live comfortably in an apartment without having to sell organs. :nallears:

Bozeman Missoulian 4/27/2017 editorial posted:

And Backus wrote that toward the end of the candidate’s talk, a man in the audience said to Gianforte, “Our biggest enemy is the news media” and asked, “How can we rein in the news media?” The man followed up his question by turning to Backus, who was sitting next to him, and “raised his hands as if he would like to wring his neck.”

Gianforte smiled, pointed at the reporter and said this: “We have someone right here. It seems like there is more of us than there is of him. I don’t have a simple solution for you. I will say that doing town hall meetings and getting out and visiting with people is very important.”

He's already been called out for veiled threats against reporters.

Hearty midwestern white stock, but very tall so probably an increased risk to violence if any of the ICE agents are short.

This really is an amazing graph. The only reason why the black and blue line didn't hit near-zero is because of lovely red states who didn't want to accept the black president's health care. They'd rather die early with their southern pride.
