The poor do not have the ability to manipulate mass quantities of people, the rich do. Because they are rich and have the resources and connections to accomplish this. They buy politicians and manipulate to cause the conditions you describe. If they were not rich, they could not do that.

Blaming the poor for being manipulated is bad faith. And victim blaming is not an effective rallying strategy.

I appreciate that they clarified that "bad" employees aren't always bad. I very firmly fit into the fourth category listed (avoids looking for jobs because it's the worst) and would definitely get trapped pretty easily.

In the first case, the subject (object? I always get them confused) is delay (which is singular), and the adjective is "15 minute".

In the second, the thing is "minutes" (plural) modified by "15".

It does. I was looking something up and ran face first into a redacted account that once had the answer I needed. I was very conflicted about it.

Yeah, sorry about that. I did mean the one you were responding to.

Can't tell if bot or posting to the wrong thread...

Yeah going high hasn't exactly been working. Let's give them a (metaphorical) kick in the teeth instead.

I hope their health insurance covers mental care.

Congrats you've fallen into a common stats trap!

You can't know what the average is for the hypothetical society to which you are comparing despite that being the optimal way to compare. If you were to actually attempt this comparison, you would take two comparable societies that differ only in religious adherence, controlling for non religious cultural things (hint: you can't separate those easily if at all). And even if you did manage that, you've only shown correlation, not causation. Proving the latter is much harder.

If it sounds like I'm agreeing with you, I'm not! I'm saying you cannot know one way or another. But your inane, tautological statement of "the average domestic abuse rates for society are about average" drove me to inform others of how terrible this argument is. You're clearly a lost cause.

If you want to prove your point, don't try stats, you're bad at it. Go for a logical argument, though I suspect you're bad at that too.

Jasmine rice. Makes a huge difference if you like white rice. Tastes like from a restaurant and pleasantly sticky.

But can you tell me anything?

Yes... but how?
