The fact that you yourself understand nuances to them does not negate that premise. You are arguing with a straw man, my argument was not that statistics do not contain nuance, it is that they must be explained to the voters and can't be felt through the air. Your point failed to address this, but only addressed a straw man.<br /><br />And at 10:07, I'm sorry my internet comment I wrote for free wasn't up to the exacting standards you prefer.

That 2.7% increase in unionization is an increase in the mean. It represents a substantial change in the actual number of people in unions because it takes a big change among individuals to shift a mean slightly higher, especially when the number of people being counted is very large. The same is true for incomes. That .7% over the poverty rate describes a mean for a group of people, not an individual person's income. We celebrate when there are enough people to cause such an improvement because it takes a substantial increase in many people's incomes in order to shift that mean slightly higher. How many are needed to produce a change depends on the size of the group being counted.<br /><br />And this is true for covid stats too. We have 800,000 deaths due to covid. That is 800,000 people dying sooner than they otherwise would have. Yet that very large number of people has decreased longevity by 1.7 years. That may seem like a small change, but it was produced by many people dying years sooner, some in childhood and some in young adulthood and some in middle age, not 1.7 years sooner than they would have due to other or natural causes. No one who isn't totally stupid would say that it makes no sense to be concerned when longevity decreases by 1.7 years, because it means a whole lot of people are dying at much younger ages.<br /><br />You may think you know a lot about class struggle, but you need to learn how to think about numbers if you are going to talk about economics and social change.<br /><br />Biden doesn't hide from fights. He walks softly and carries a big stick. He builds on friendships of a lifetime, works with people instead of against them, is more concerned with accomplishing change than his own ego (like Bernie, for example) and he wins support through persuasion not bombast. And he is good at being president. <br /><br />Gadflies like you are not only a nuisance, but you take votes away from the only party working to help people with lower incomes. That's why I suspect that you are some sort of troll or RNC operative (much as Somerby is), and not any kind of class activist. Those who see change in terms of class are smarter than you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-50740796812951880732021-12-22T22:57:11.801-05:002021-12-22T22:57:11.801-05:00Did I?

These issues rub up against powerful interests. <br /><br />It's instructive that Berto only sees "the left" and "the right" and not classes. Thus there's no need to talk to the hillbilly, because he is as useless as the Republican party robbing him. And then when Democrats lose to someone, yes, you guessed it, the redneck should have known that unionization went up 2.7% since Biden took office or something like that, and it seems we're supposed to be celebrating when someone in poverty's income reaches .7% over the rate we legally stop calling them poor.<br /><br />Really Biden is lucky he's having good policies thrown at him from below but he's doing his best to hide from every fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-25062245810292655322021-12-22T19:38:09.395-05:002021-12-22T19:38:09.395-05:00Did CNN report that before or after they reported ...Did CNN report that before or after they reported on the scary Havana Syndrome???
