  • Just to pull info from the article in case others don’t care to read, the vast majority of these deaths are still attributed to “natural causes” like illness, old age, or pre-existing conditions, though these are undoubtedly exacerbated by the conditions of prison life.

    The point of concern though is that “unnatural causes” are generally on the rise during this period. Unfortunately, given the fact that some of the data is almost 10 years old at this point, it’s hard to say if the situation has gotten any better or worse since then.





  • Sorta, but not to let the Democrats off the hook either, with their uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Chuck Schumer and his conspirators can never be forgiven for agreeing to pass the Trump budget that is now funding his agenda.

    Schumer’s entire argument that they should play along until Trump’s approval rating hits some arbitrarily low number is infuriating, and reeks of the sort of calculated politicking where the only priority is to do whatever it takes to stay in power, rather than to do the right thing. Hope that bites him and the others who voted with him in the ass.




  • I do think that is giving liberals and the left too much credit.

    A lot of the infighting from among the left during the past election felt pretty artificial, to be perfectly honest, and most of the “Genocide Joe/Holocaust Harris” types seemed to just evaporate after the election ended. Maybe just because there was nothing really left to say after all was said and done, but I just find it hard to believe much of that discourse was in good faith. I’m surprised to read a number as low as 18%, but almost 1 in 5 still isn’t nothing.





  • Not in this lifetime for me, though the world has generally forgiven the auto brands who helped run the Axis Powers war machine like BMW, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, etc.

    Tesla could do a complete about-face, oust Musk and his cronies, start adhering to better market practices, and build themselves back up as a reputable brand. But not for a long while.

    Better that there actually be a better path to take which could lead somewhere in the future, otherwise they may as well double down on his stupidity and profit while they can before the whole company just implodes.
