poor people didn’t have pets they just had dogs to help them with their livestock and cats to kill pests but obviously they were too poor to actually care about their animals duh

Phi230 posted:wonder what the overlap between "pets are rich decadence" and the irrational classist/racist hatred of pitbulls is I grew up in an area where a lot of my working class neighbours had pitbulls (or more likely some other breed of bull-terrier that people just assumed pitbull). I also ended up at a middle-class high school right around peak pitbull panic. I heard so much "they just breed them for fighting" poo poo. I never heard of a single underground dog fighting arena in my area, and everyone I knew with a bull-terrier, no matter how much of a hard man they were, would have been as horrified as anyone at the idea of intentionally harming their family pet. The one prosecuted case of dog-fighting animal cruelty in my town was a middle-class 'gentleman' farmer who had the land and the time to organise it.

Everyone else is working class or poor but taught by society to think that they are middle class. when nancy pelosi cracked that they had to keep the tax cuts for 200k to one million up because that was the middle class she was telling a truth most people don't want to accept. also the homeless dog is a working animal and they are often (at least here) given animals shovelbum posted:It's incredibly socially acceptable to have large aggressive dangerous unsocialized dogs in the US this

anyway, from my limited reading of that IHME model, and modelling in general, it's going to keep failing worse each day since it ID'd the peak as already being in the past (mid april i think) and the functional form is to decrease to 0 after the peak was reached. so no matter what the real data looks like, it wants to crash to 0 ASAP, getting more desperate with each passing day.

That date a month ago is still the single highest death in their timeframe, right? I'm curious if the whole model will shift over when we finally break that number
