Generally agree but the kidney analogy is wildly incorrect.

I always figured it was a play on "drunk tank", as a separate comm made to accommodate humor making fun of others. There really isn't any relation to the carnival game other than phonetic convergence.

Yeah the liberals I know refuse to acknowledge there are fundamental problems that we should do something about.

The trump people see the problem but think the solution is killing minorities.

Not sure which crowd is more amenable.

No need to apologize. Just remember to meet independent media with the same level of skepticism as main stream media.

The methodology is completely pulled out of his ass.

There's a lot wrong with it but the main thing is using linear regression for "do you know someone who has died of X?" This is cannot be a linear relationship. As the number of casualties goes up, the % of people who know a casualty logarithmically approaches 100%.

This means the % of people who know a casualty will rise dramatically at first, and taper off. It also means it's not a good indicator for actual deaths.

Good suggestion. I don't think the word I used is a slur, but okay.
