This sounds like something I would suggest which probably means it's a really bad idea.

All this AND ending the electoral college. Ending the electoral college is a big one in my book. Make every vote count.

The fact that people are pushing JB Pritzker and not Cory Booker shows, IMO, how incredibly unserious this all is.

It's super sus that there are more players from Canada than any other country but the NHL headquarters and most of the teams are in the US. The US is secretly trying to import Canadians.

Which is frustrating to me because my field, social science, often struggles to be taken seriously. But now that there's an interesting qual question, people are jumping in to answer it. And they're not doing good job. Imo.

I think we're misunderstanding each other. I don't think people are wrong about the economy being bad. I think people with very little experience in qualitative data, in this case such as yourself, are trying to answer a qual question. And mostly they're trying to use numbers.

Over and over I see "People are feeling a way" and then someone starts shouting out numbers. "Rent is this!" "Wages are this!" "A group of people I know nothing about says they can only buy an unknown kind and amount of meat once a month!" Those are numbers answers! We need to talk about feelings!

"I went to Reddit." Ok. Which Reddit? There's going to be a HUGE difference between r/journalists and r/autoworkers. Basic demographics? What prompted them to talk about buying meat? These are just the bare minimum you would need to start trying to draw conclusions. And even then.

I am going to assume you are speaking from experience with the affected group (disabled people in NYC who rely on private vehicles) and not speaking for a group that you have no personal experiences with. So, I want to add that the situation is not so cut and dry. DA advocates in NYC support 1/2

I was just thinking about this the other day. People are more into cooking now and IME eating less and less processed food than when I was a kid. This is going to get me murdered but tbh the vegans I know eat way more processed foods than folks who eat dairy and eggs.

Right because people keep asking about numbers, not feelings. This is my point: people are feeling a way. We need to talk to them about their feelings, not their financial situation. And it needs to go deeper than "How do you feel about the economy?" Like I said, it's a qual problem.

Everyone is trying to treat this like a question that can be answered with numbers when actually it's a qualitative data issue. I can't answer questions about why people feel the way they feel without asking them. Nobody can. Numbers are not the end all be all.

Evidence-based and social justice models are not mutually exclusive! In fact, social justice models are based on evidence. This is a bad dichotomy and people who perpetuate it are actively making the world a shittier place.

Someone, somewhere, needs to compile in a single source, all of the absolutely batshit things Dr. Penny Patterson has said about gorillas. It's time we stop seeing her as the "nice gorilla lady" and instead as the weird grifter she is.
