D1E posted:Maybe he leaked the letter knowing full well he was gonna get relieved immediately but also that it would force action for his crew. Relieved for sure, I'm sure he knew that, but when have leaks of military incompetence ever forced action? And I'm not writing this sarcastically because I don't know the answer but I'm guessing it's never.

Nobody can tell you the answer, but I would guess that the main driver is socioeconomic. Black people are still going to work because they're essential while white people are staying home because they're tech bros. Combine this with Michigan's packed minority cities and white sub-sub-suburbs and you get this outcome.

Ill Peripheral posted:Relieved for sure, I'm sure he knew that, but when have leaks of military incompetence ever forced action? And I'm not writing this sarcastically because I don't know the answer but I'm guessing it's never. I served in the Navy. The good Commanding Officers - and there are a few - absolutely care about their crew. Those are the officers men willingly follow into battle, simply because they don't want to let them down. I don't know the details, but it sounds to me like that C.O. was fighting for the lives of his crew. It's not like they have hundreds of ventilators onboard, nor is any Navy vessel equipped for this kind of pandemic. The incompetence was likely in his chain of command, who apparently either didn't listen to his requests or were moving too slowly. If any if this is the case, then that captain has my absolute respect for leaking to the media to try to save his people. gently caress Trump.

Asproigerosis posted:Two components of this are almost certainly: There is also the fact that two of the largest population centers in the state (Flint, Detroit) are overwhelmingly African American and several other large cities (Saginaw, Benton Harbor) are also majority African American. Detroit has the largest concentration of cases and deaths in the state. I mean, the facts you posted are also true, but that doesn't tell the whole story. I'd like to see statistics from other locales to see breakdown by race and SES.

Trying to figure out a date to tell this chick to move in or buzz off lol. I think Saturday. I'm getting anxious even thinking about seeing her now, although we are both living in a rural area and have been pretty isolated (except each other) for weeks. if i go over to a guy's place rn this better be what's waiting on me

Pryor on Fire posted:No, I live right next to all the backpacking places. They are crowded as poo poo. Stay the gently caress away. Stop camping. Don't do it. loving go away it's more crowded here than Venice Beach. Everyone else who has ever walked through an REI had the same idea to go camping this week or next, don't be like them. How does one live next to "all" the backpacking places? Also I would say the only risk to backpacking right now is having COVID-19 develop during the trip, but otherwise it's fine.

Three months from now there'll be some new issue about how the irs is "reviewing guidance and developing procedures" or some bs and the checks will be delayed another 6 months. Then delayed again. In the end a few people making like 70k who have extensive experience dealing with the irs may end up getting them but basically. Those checks ain't coming lol. yep

Epidemiologists are able to predict life expectancy for specific neighborhoods for a reason. Being poor subjects you to worse food, higher stress levels, more crime, more workplace accidents, a lack of healthcare, etc. We're absolutely going to see higher rates of infection and death among certain socio economic groups. Like, the cortisol levels between rich people and poor are like night and day despite the widely accepted argument that people in positions of authority have more stressful jobs.
