A huge portion of antivaxxers are liberals. Turns out idiocy doesn't have a political bias the way evilness does.

Though it's still notable that there have been shifts there. Traditionally antivaxxers were about half right-wingers and half left-wingers, but as of a couple years ago it was more 60/40 conservative. I don't know if it's moved further since.

In my experience (god those have been frustrating conversations) the split is more along the lines of *why* they're anti-vax. Like the liberals seem more inclined to be on the "too many at once" train while conservatives are more on the "it causes autism full stop" train. They're both loving wrong, and the outcome is just as dangerous. The guy who came up with the whole "too many at once" has admitted, on video, that it is a theory he made up that isn't supported by any study.

God the whole thing just makes me so angry. A big part of the reason most families don't need 8 children these days is because you don't need spares.

Who's dumber? Trump, or the people who think Trump is smart?

Because there's a tiny, nonzero chance something may be wrong with Trump's brain. But anyone who listens to him speak and observes his actions and still thinks he's a smart man is one stupid motherfucker.

You have a really bad habit of trying to use absolute numbers instead of per-capita. Lumping Asians in with Whites economically is standard practice in sociology (source - someone with a master's degree in sociology who wrote their thesis on immigration and racial integration). Regardless, here's one last piece of statistics - 13% of Queens residents live below the poverty line. 27% of Niagara Falls residents do. The median household income in Niagara Falls is less than half of the median in Queens. Tell me again which area has more poverty.

Edit: One more - of the ~11,000 residents in Niagara Falls who identify as black, roughly 5000 of them live below the poverty line. That's a nearly 50% poverty rate. That's completely insane.
Dude, you had a very small nitpick of my original post that you refuted by badly interpreting the data in the link that you posted. Unless I missed something, I don't see per capita poverty rates amongst Asians and Whites like you originally claimed, but feel free to point it out. It lists the percentage of Queens residents living in poverty and then breaks that number down by race.

But at the end of the day, dude, you're cherry picking data to begin with. NYC has a poverty rate of 20% compared to New York State's 16%. While there is assuredly more overall wealth in New York City there is not only more poverty per capita, but in absolute numbers, much more actual poor people to care for.

My actual point was that comparing Queens and Niagra Falls are apples and oranges because Queens encompasses Jamaica and Forest Hills. These two neighborhoods both have equal to or greater than the population of Niagra Falls and are both wildly different from one another.

But your original point is that the state should not invest in New York City public transit because New York City is wealthy. Brownsville, Brooklyn has a similar population to Niagra, 40% poverty rate, and homes that cost five times the prices of average homes in Niagra. The problem with dismissing NEW YORK CITY as the wealthiest part of the state is you're dismissing places that have it really bad that are literally the same size of the place you're supposedly championing.

I'm not arguing that Niagra Falls shouldn't get support dude. You are arguing that the state shouldn't help the folks in Brownsville get improvements to the public transportation that they rely on because they're apart of New York and therefore wealthy.

Supposedly he had bought a yacht, was on it when it sailed to port, and was so terrified he never went out on it again.

Not sure how true that is, but it was a story going around during election season.

With that said, look at a map of Asian population density in NYC before we start dipping into Asian people are just unofficial white people.

And before we get into the "unofficial white people" argument, people may want to consider that APAs have the highest levels of poverty in New York City.
