This is correct … and the disproportionate mail in ballots currently coming in for C are mathematically astronomical (something in the 1 in a million range). Sadly, it’s historically expected. Just saying …
This is a question and I’m just getting my head around this California election…the in person ballots were counted and candidates were ranked A,B,C.the top two candidates make the runoff…the only way B(the republican) gets knocked out of the runoff is if the mail in ballots wildly and disproportionately are for candidate C..so even tho on voting day, candidate A outperformed, the mail ins someone switched to candidate C…which is what had to happen to knock out candidate B? It’s really fortunate for the Dems…and defies any reasonable probability distribution but whatever…
More than 1,100 University of California math and science professors are urging UC regents to reinstate college-entrance exams, saying that unprepared students are lowering academic standards and draining teaching resources https://t.co/b0v7Pnvfeh

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
PSA: Everyone’s daily reminder that @Avis@Budget is arguably the poorest run company on the planet. Oh, and they are straight up liars as well. Rent at your own risk!
This is one thing I got horribly wrong as a lazy auto-liberal in 2018. I was vehemently opposed to Kavanaugh's nomination, on the basis there were better alternatives who had not been accused of sex crimes. My blindness and refusal to see the cynical Dem strategy - appalling.
@Budget Absolutely a criminal company. I rented a car and prepaid for gas. The tank was only 1/3 full. I sent them an email the night I rented the car.
They responded basically calling me a liar. A shockingly bad operation. Never again. Ever.
This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take.
No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare.
The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral.
Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year.
Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes.
Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment.
The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.”
America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be.
Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities.
Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis.
It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.
Showing you can be the most, and least, educated gen … at the same time. And what of being the 1st true smartphone gen? Welp, that hasn’t helped either. 🤦🏼♂️
It shows the magnitude of success of the massive information operations by Russia, Iran, Qatar/Turkey, CCP and a handful of others besieging the U.S. through various venues, structures and captured institutions.
This is an amorphous fir of warfare that is becoming as civilizationally deadly for the West as the armed attacks last century.
