Literally, the publisher of the data explicitly states and explains why in the quote.

The drop in reported crime coincides exactly with the George Floyd protests. Saying that because reported crime went down, all crime went down without addressing the cultural shift of the relationship between the public and the police is dishonest.

I never made any kind of argument. I just pointed out that the FBI cautions the public from drawing broad conclusions to people who are drawing broad conclusions.

“Data Considerations The data found on the Crime Data Explorer represents reported crime, and is not an exhaustive report of all crime that occurs. It’s important to consider the various factors that lead to crime activity and crime reporting in a community before interpreting the data. Without these considerations the available data can be deceiving. Factors to consider include population size and density, economic conditions, employment rates, prosecutorial, judicial, and correctional policies, administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement, citizens’ attitudes toward crime and policing, and the effective strength of the police force.”

I was a nuclear operator in the Navy. Here are the actual reasons:

1. The designs are classified US military assets
2. They are not refuleable
3. They only come in 2 “sizes”: aircraft carrier and submarine
4. They are not scaleable. You can just make a reactor 2x as big
5. They require as much down time as up time
6. They are outdated
7. The military won’t let you interrupt their supply chain to make civilian reactors
8. New designs over promise and underdeliver
9. They are optimized for erratic operations (combat) not steady state (normal power loads)
10. They are engineered assuming they have infinite sea water available for everything

There’s more but that’s just off the top of my head

Yeah it’s more like, hey you just bought stabilizing jacks and a water hose for a travel trailer. You must have just bought a new camper. Let’s bombard you with add for stick-up-hooks, rv-mattress sized sheets, cheap plastic dishes, etc.

Almost $80,000 per daily user?

Same statement except he should say that it would be legal for him to kill 6 Supreme Court justices.

Same story as everyone else. Bought pre-covid, refinanced, now sitting pretty. We desperately want to move, but I would have to make like $50k more a year for the same quality of life.

So now he’s claiming that he had presidential immunity before he was president too?

I challenge anyone who says sugar isn’t addictive to go a week without. No sugar. No sugar substitutes like fructose. I’ve done it. It is awful.

I’ve also done hard drugs. Quitting those are awful too.

The difference is that I haven’t done drugs in decades but I still have a pack of Oreos on my counter.

I never realized all this but it’s so true. I browse and comment until I’m caught up, then log off.

Wow
