We weren't talking about EC until Trump beat Hillary by campaigning in states she thought were a lock, but the deep data mining showed the Trump Campaign it wasn't and they actually campaigned there. States that Obama won handily and have been D for several other election cycles.
Additionally, they are looking at data based on people voting in the EC as if they weren't going to vote in the EC, but in Popular Election. How many California Republicans didn't vote because, well its California and a lost cause of tax and spend liberals from San Diego to Yreka. It is like saying "we should score baseball by how many people got on base, not how many actually scored. The game would be played entirely differently under different scoring rules.
The EC argument is one that also very pointless, short of a constitutional Amendment or Convention of the states.
The EC is how we elect presidents. You can want to change it, and good luck with that.
Its actually worse than that, it is the federal government telling private businesses how to build out their networks.
That means your VOIP based LTE phone calls are crappy, because someone is Netflixing Cartoons for their kids.
Look, I am all for the IDEA of NetNeutrality, but it was always fictional account of the Internet. There has always been, and always will be traffic shaping and prioritization. In fact, when there isn't, bad things happen to networks.
Let me ask you the same question you just asked, a different way. Should the government be required to vaccinate all kids, regardless of parental wishes, and arrest parents who don't?
Whats the difference between Vaccine pushed by Big Pharma/Government complex onto unsuspecting children, without their or their parents consent, and someone bio-engineering a cure, and the government preventing it under the guise that the children have rights, rights explicitly denied by forced/mandatory vaccinations?
There is no "right" answer, and its one that the government has no business answering.
I am specifically not blaming the victim, but nice try. In fact, I specifically said " The greatest victims of crime in poor neighborhoods are the poor in neighborhoods."
Being poor isn't a criminal act, and plenty of poor people don't commit crimes.
Let me put it this way, if there was a natural disaster in your town, would your first thought be "Hey lets hit up Walmart for a Free BigScreen TV and some shoes"? Or would it be "what can I do to help my neighbors?"?
How you answer might define why you are better off or worse off economically. Its the choices in life we get to make that more often than not, define our lot in life.
The main problem with this is that for every smart genius with good connections to genetic experts, there's thousands of deluded parents who pump their kids full of bleach because some unscrupulous assholes want to make a quick buck pretending to be medical experts.
Yup. Its called... freedom and it is scary. "Its my body, my right"
Its not just that, its that the people who live in low economic areas make excuses as to why crime against "the man" is okay. So they have higher costs they have to pay, to pay for the crime that they commit. It is self fulfilling at some point. "These people deserve it, because they are ripping us off" vs "I need to make a profit, and have to cover the cost of the theft".
Please note, I am NOT mentioning skin color/race (until here), because it doesn't really matter for this discussion. The greatest victims of crime in poor neighborhoods are the poor in neighborhoods.
If you're dealing with a million records and not summary data, that would be the problem. IMHO. You can manipulate and abstract out the relevant (meta) information separately that does reflect what the BI is supposed to be telling you. Unless that is what the BI bit is supposed to be doing. In which case, you're screwed.
With all the laws protecting "minorities" they actually have the power. The power to cry "racism" at the drop of a hat, regardless if it is actual racism or not. Sexism at the drop of the hat, regardless of if it is actual sexism. etc.
Take the Ball family for example, loud obnoxious and now internationally famous criminals. They do nothing to advance Black Americans and will cry racism when no NBA team wants that circus anywhere nearby. And the dad, rather than be pissed at his son for shoplifting in China, is pissed because Donald claimed credit for getting the young men released from Chinese custody.
The fact is, that whole incidence is part of the problem in the Black American Community, where instead of being BETTER than the stereotypes, plays right into them, thinking it is racism that is holding them back.
And while there is racism in the US, using that as an excuse to failures is not exactly helping. I mean, what the fuck were they thinking? Future Multi Millionaires shoplifting cheap knockoffs in a foreign land. Playing into racial stereotypes isn't racism, it is stupidity.
But they will get a pass. They will make their millions. They will be the circus performers they were raised to be. And they will blame racism for their bad decisions.
Its obvious that a lot of people don't know how science or Darwinism actually works. He's bred, the genes are passed on. He has proven he is fit enough to procreate, which is all Darwin suggests.
Misapplying Darwinian theory is one of the reasons people don't believe science.
I've been actively targeted with Hate speech. "White people just need to die" is hate speech, but it is okay, if uttered by a minority. Followed by "You're old, and you just just die" also uttered by some PYT who didn't like that I made sense to idiotic emotional vomit she was spewing.
The point is, it is only "hate" if you disagree with it, or affects white straight cisgendered males.
In other words, you idea of hate is probably not inclusive enough. Which is itself "hate" (or so I've been told)
I always put virtualization OS on first, and then Install the OS on top. Yes, even when the Guest OS is the only one. Makes for moving to another hardware platform easy.
So, it isn't a race issue, it is an economic one. Great, now we at least agree on something. However, repeating the claim it is "racist" to want an ID is tacitly racist in and of itself. THAT was my point.
And not that it is economic in nature, we can solve that problem (a variety of ways).
As a leftist, I'm fine with voter ID, as long as acquiring the ID is free of charge and easy for everyone.
You're a rare minority. I just wish more leftists were more realistic.;)
No you haven't. You've posted an article using anecdotal evidence, and abstracted that out to being full on racist (intentional or not). the subset isn't "minorities" it is "people" and at the moment you stop categorizing people into subset groups based on color then I'll tend to agree with you. But that doesn't serve the narrative you're portraying.
And in the end, you are the one that is racist, because the narrative ends up being the bigoted stereotype "minorities can't get IDs because they are stupid".
The fact is, these people (not minorities) have specific issues that are rare and should be addressed. Specifically the article focuses on "Anthony Settles" who has a problem with not having properly changed his name when he was 14. This is not an issue because he is "black" (or any other minority) but because paperwork was never filled out. Further the article states... " Settles has to go to court, a process that would cost him more than $250 — more than he is willing to pay."
I realize that $250 is a lot of money to someone who is poor, but I am pretty sure that a good Liberal like yourself would be willing to raise everyone's taxes to solve problems like this. i.e. its solvable. But rather than solving the problem, let's just imply black people can't do something because of racism.
Can you explain why being black has any relevance to Anthony Settles case? I doubt it.
Just on the paper napkin calculation, I can already see a flaw in it. You're assuming (without facts in evidence) that the thermal expansion is based on uniform 2 degree increase in Temperature. Please show me the calculation for how much energy it would take to increase the entire mass of ocean by 2 degrees, and then show me where that energy came from.
Until you do that, then you're back of the napkin calculation is not "science" but "sciency".
And my point is showing just how stupid the AGW debate is, because if I, (smart guy, without any background in climatology) can see the huge flaw in your basic calculation, and can dismiss it as being fanciful at best (at worst, a lie you knowingly told), then how is someone like me supposed to believe anything coming from non-experts like yourself? And if you are an expert, I'll challenge your expertise.
Next up, you'll offer "consensus" as science (Thousands of experts agree!!!) . Sorry, but the moment you say "consensus" is science, I'll know you're not an expert or even scientific.
Everything you say would be true, except that it is itself propaganda. Nobody actually asks those questions.
Here are some key assumptions and racist thoughts you expose in your own assessment.
2) This works because the process required to get a government ID is fairly complicated
This is pure racist bullshit. You are basically saying that it is so complicated only WHITE people can figure it out. That it is so complicated that Minorities can't figure it out. Queue up "Black people don't know where DMV is" level complicated.
And of course you have the fact that he's almost certainly cherry picking a very non-representative sample of interviewees.
Again, that is YOUR assumption. However based on your own response, you committed the very same infractions, you just dressed it up in progressive code language.
Here is the Progressive Trick, they use code language to call blacks and minorities "stupid" by labeling them all the same based on some hypothetical disenfranchised anecdotal reference. The fact is, they can't or won't even try to produce anyone that fits that particular narrative. It is a neat trick though, because now you can label anyone that wants voter ID laws (like Mexico, India, and a whole slew of 3rd world countries have) as "racist". You don't have to prove it. All because you seem to think that color of skin makes people too dumb to figure out the "complicated" things that only "white people" seem to figure out.
Further, this line of reasoning you've walk yourself down, clearly indicates that those people truly affected by not being able to navigate because of the color of their skin need remedial help (again because they are stupid) and aren't being educated well enough (public funded schools) to be able to fully participate in our society. If such people actually exist, why aren't progressives out in droves helping them navigate the "complicated" process of getting an ID?
I'm sorry if I don't want to buy the pure racist bullshit you're selling.
I wouldn't be surprised at all. Seriously, some of the most racist people I know are well intentioned liberal retards who think they are helping black people. Because obviously, black people don't know about cell phones or even where the DMV is.

What if there is no valid counter point?
Who decides what's valid?
Can we use the N word or not? Or is it only black people who can use it? What about Rachel Dolezal, can she use it?

Average increase is the same thing as I asked. Same amount of energy required. Or is your understanding of average different than mine?
specific subset of minorities who can't get IDs
No you haven't.
