@conor64@bogeyfromhell Fearmongering over the threat of Covid to young children. They were shutting down the schools at the very time it was known that no children would be seriously injured by the virus.
@CalMatters Part of the problem is the lousy advice these young men are receiving, to pursue low grade college degrees over work experience. Another problem: state and local govt protecting illegal immigrants, who will work for entry-level jobs for less pay
@TrumpisPDFile@itsprobabiyfine@libsoftiktok Most crimes don’t lead to an arrest. Most arrests don’t lead to a conviction. But arrest counts are a much better gauge of the crime rate than convictions
@itsprobabiyfine@libsoftiktok The vast majority of convicts never offend again. By keeping the current prison population in an extra year, you wouldn’t even dent the arrest rate. Most criminals stop committing crimes in their twenties. The exceptions get all the attention
@cornell_pj @Logo_Daedalus An estd 4M Americans are disabled due to mental health disorder. Many or most of these people can’t hold a job. Most of it is real. Low paid service jobs today are harder to pull off when you have bipolar than digging ditches at a day rate was decades ago
