Data would be the plural of anecdote if it were being honestly compiled. Since the BLS now exists to “compile” data solely to it the narrative—at least as lost S possible while retaining a shred of credibility—

Errata. Fat finger:…”data”no longer has any credibility and make that “fit” the narrative and “ close as” possible. Lousy eyesight, fat fingers on small keyboard and Chardonnay are a challenging combination

Every time Epstein comes up, the words "conspiracy theory" soon follows.

But isn't it more of a conspiracy theory to believe that ALL of these powerful people had totally innocent relationships with Epstein than to believe that something seriously rotten has infected the most powerful institutions in America?

Also, the idea that a man with so many enemies who never expressed any signs of suicidal ideation just suddenly decided to kill himself, to the relief of so many powerful people, is something only a fool would believe. I've noticed that even the MSM has started to hedge, typically saying that Epstein died in 2019 in what authorities say was a suicide. Rather than stating directly that it was suicide. Small progress for the MSM.

The gentleman’s substack about the job scene was enlightening - our instinct is more important than ever - when we read something that just doesn’t seem right or seems contradictory to our lying eyes and ears, we need to trust God gave us instinct for a reason - self preservation.

It is sad that not only evil nasty banks like JP Morgan but also platforms like Twitter are not interested in protecting children from outrage. Perhaps one day soon there shall be a reckoning. . .

"All data is information surrendered. Everything from the number of footsteps you take with a smartphone in your pocket, what you tell the Census taker, who you’ve chosen to vote for – the fact that you voted at all, to each tweet and Facebook post you create: the text, when you sent it, where you sent it from, and how long since the last time you sent one." Exactly.

Those bastards robbed us of the most special of Twitter entertainment. He only heaped scorn and ridicule on those most deserving of it.
