I love how they include statistics in the headline of a story about the lack of understanding of statistics. Epic troll. 100% of headlines of statistics-related articles must follow this rule.

Good point. I think you can probably also read it for free at a library, or at work (on their paid sub however). Lots of options, true.

I really don't understand any place relying on a third party to publicise news. (but I'm as fiercely independent as my own skills and ability to learn can manage)

Also how fewer young people are driving at all. It strikes me as a person who wants x to be true saying that x is true based on statistics that they've engineered to look as if x is true. "Everyone I've spoken to loves touch

Let's see how well this works out for them. I'm not hopeful for BMW (or most non-Chinese car manufacturers - not that the Chinese cars are great, just that they've got the economies of scale pretty well locked up), on a numbe

I get the feeling the coming summer is going to be brutal. On one hand, heat + humidity will literally kill some vulnerable people. One the other hand, heat + extreme dryness will literally kill people via wildfires. Before summer comes aro

The winners of WWII basked in their own glory for far too long, constantly looking back at a grand victory instead of looking forward to ensure a grand future. The march of technology papered over a lot of cracks, but the cracks keep on gro

Only billionaires can afford to pay to have their entire reality replaced with fantasy. Nitpick: At a certain level of millions, below a billion, this is also true, however. But it makes for a longer / worse soundbite.

I don't disagree that they're locusts, but 'American' has been leaning heavily in the same direction as locusts for a long while. That's why they currently hold US Passports, the most fertile breeding ground.
