In Canada you get arrested for peacefully protesting: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada-freedom-convoy-protest-a... Note all the attempts in the article to paint them as "armed" and "extremists".

You are right about the first part. You won't know you have a dead raccoon in your basement until it starts stinking. I was hearing the conservatives complain about the mass mail-in voting rules and Trump himself also, long before the

The OP makes an excellent point about the prevalence of abbreviations in technical nomenclature.

That's totally logical and something I didn't really think about. It's amazing how much information can be implied from context and juxtaposition.

You can actually go see Endeavor in real life at the L.A. Science Center. Admission is like $2. Regardless of the size, the spectacle is breathtaking.

Either increase goods and services or decrease the amount of new money entering the economy, either will get you to lower inflation. But calling the method of measurement the thing itself is misleading. Inflation might be measured by the pr

The title seems to be backwards. Doesn't surging inflation cause the food prices to go up? I have been seeing a lot of weird definitions for "inflation" lately and it's not doing the population any favors. The BBC define

Yes, the assigned cause question a problem. And add to that the concept of "excess" deaths being a more telling figure than the causality number. So looking at a model of past deaths you can predict future deaths (roughly) and so

I don't think that's actually true. If the reported numbers are correct, the number of deaths in the US was around 250k when the vaccine became available and now it's 700k. That's 450k more after the vaccine despite bein

Platform censorship is barely legal per my view of section 230 which I have studied thoroughly. It's also highly immoral for them to craft their own narrative out of user generated content which was never the intention of 230. The craf

No you're wrong. Section 230 determines a publisher from a platform based on what they host on their service. If they pick and choose what goes on their service they are a publisher and lose their section 230 immunity. So it's not
