@Andinan23@NUCLRGOLF It’s worth repeating for those of us who have never heard the story. It’s a very important lesson that has far deeper implications for life in general.
Odds of dying from hantavirus: 1 in 30-35M
Odds of dying from a lightning strike: 1 in 15-20M
Odds of dying in a car accident 1 in 8,000-9,000
Odds of dying from medical error: 1 in 1,000-1,400
If someone is telling you to freak out about Hantavirus, they're lying to you.
Obama made Americans get health insurance, or you paid a fine.
Biden made people inject an experimental shot, or they lost their jobs.
Tell me again how Trump is a fascist dictator…
Elon Musk just reduced American crime politics to a single question on Joe Rogan.
And answered it like it was arithmetic.
Musk: “While obviously not everyone who’s a Democrat is a criminal, almost everyone who is a criminal is a Democrat.”
That’s not a partisan attack.
That’s an observation about how incentives work.
If you’re a criminal, you don’t vote for the party promising longer sentences and more cops.
You vote for the one gutting bail laws and calling enforcement racist.
This isn’t opinion. This is game theory.
Musk: “Because the Democrats are the soft-on-crime party. So if you’re a criminal, who are you gonna vote for?”
Nobody wants to follow that logic to its conclusion.
But the math doesn’t care.
The softness isn’t accidental. It’s architectural.
No-cash bail. Decriminalized theft. Sanctuary cities. Defund the police.
These aren’t compassion. They’re infrastructure.
Every policy that removes consequences builds a constituency that needs them to stay gone.
That’s not ideology. That’s customer acquisition.
You don’t protect criminals because you care about them.
You protect them because they show up in November.
The people paying the price are never the ones writing the policy.
It’s the working-class neighborhoods getting hollowed out.
The immigrant families who played by the rules watching the system reward the ones who broke them.
The small business owners boarding up windows because the DA won’t prosecute.
They’ll spend the next week calling Musk reckless for this.
But he didn’t build the incentive structure.
He just described it.
And that’s what they’ll never forgive.
