@JerryEngelmann@RoyceWebb Is there a common trend among the other 5? Did they mean revert in the regular season? Have surprising playoff success? I suspect the answer is mean reversion but curious who the other 5 teams are.
@shaunmmaguire@BillAckman Sorry but don’t most people think it’s wrong for the British government to enact consequences for objectionable tweets? I agree these tweets are disgusting but you either believe in absolute free speech or not. He’s a British citizen and should be free to say disgusting stuff.
@Geiger_Capital What is this supposed to mean? Who is doing this supposed killing of billions and how is being mean / saying no to women meant to stop that?
@Geiger_Capital That’s a massive stretch linking those two things without much evidence… a huge portion of the Iranian population (~50k people) in LA are Persian Jewish who have no love for the current Iranian regime and in many cases fled during the revolution.
Our civic life is so deranged that obvious corruption can't even be challenged anymore without it seeming political. Only a mind held hostage would defend this.
Very depressing to see people whose position is "I didn't like the immigration policies that let this person come here legally, and therefore I don't care if he gets illegally deported to a foreign prison in defiance of multiple court orders." The internet callouses your soul.
@DNCKilledMyDad @Geiger_Capital I replied to my post with the unempl. rate and you can see the native unemployment rate is right on top of the foreign (4.2 and 4.3%, respectively)
Agree there are issues with the unemployment rate - though i suspect data would not change incl. discouraged or part time workers
@RoewJoe@Geiger_Capital Might be true but the original dataset that he posted was using the same denominator. If the native-born unemployment rate is not increasing then why is it a problem that foreign-born people are getting jobs?
@Geiger_Capital Is it conceivable that the native born working age population has flattened / declined given how much older the average distribution is?
Would be interested to see change in unemployment rate for both groups because foreign born population is obviously a lot younger
@BarbarianCap I don’t disagree that the underlying thread is embarrassing / shameful for the media but I am not sure the level of trust in the media by the populace is a good measure of how honest the media is… See China and Saudi Arabia vastly outperforming Japan, Ireland and South Korea…
