@aribindi@eyeslasho No, if this chart was just comparing white kids to black kids then it would be misleading.
This chart is showing that income/wealth does not matter, black kids always do worse even when they have massive income/wealth advantages.
@aribindi@eyeslasho Thats not what this chart is showing. This chart is showing that white kids who grow up in a trailer park with mom's that work as a waitress do better on the SAT than kids of black neuro scientists.
@MattNovacek@StatisticUrban Thats not what this chart is even saying. This chart is basically just saying Florida and Texas collects less taxes in general. If you make $30k a year in CA you'll pay much more taxes than if you make $30k in Florida.
@StatisticUrban Thats not at all what this chart is showing, its showing % of the taxes paid not how much taxes are paid. Even poor people can move to Florida from CA and they would pay far less taxes.
@mattyglesias The answer is still demographics, Boston has a higher % of White + Asian. The large Asian population in Boston dramatically lowers its crime rate.
@ShadowbanSlam@PatrickRuffini Yes, a lot of people don't vote because they think its a waste of time sincetheir state is for sure going one way or the other.
@ShadowbanSlam@PatrickRuffini This is of the over all population not just "voters". If everyone voted Trump would have won in an even bigger landslide.
@MAGAX1776 @NameisKaleb@RichardHanania Removing the filibuster would have just made it easy for republicans to push through similar things they want and or repeal it later. They also wouldnβt have been able to get it through the house so again Dems never actually had the ability to make PR or DC a state.
@tomcolicchio Nope the draft still exists we just don't draft men into the military during peace times anymore. All men are still required to register for the draft so they can be drafted if more men are needed for the military.
