LAS14's JournalDoes anyone have stats of percentage of old age car accidents vs youthful car accidents?
I don't want this buried in the hot thread about testing older drivers. It's too important. Older drivers should only be tested more frequently than 16-25 drivers if their accident rate is higher.
Do you agree?
What do you think motivated Ivanka?
- White house decided to try to walk back Trump's Charlottesville response and chose Ivanka?
- She's finally getting educated to the fact that white supremacy is dangerous for her children?
- Other?
In case you missed it, here's one of her tweets re Charlottesville.
"There should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis,” she tweeted. “We must all come together as Americans.”
Why do we even conduct studies about population differences between the sexes?
This Friday on NPR, David Brooks said something I've known perfectly well my whole adult life. But I hadn't thought about it in quite this way. If population studies can tell us nothing about an individual, why do we conduct so many of them? I can see population studies for health, for targeting prevention and aiding in diagnosis. But surely they have no place in a situation where an individual is being judged for a job. Why do we even conduct these studies?
"There are some minor differences between populations, mostly in levels of interest, not in levels of ability. And - but these are all about populations. You can't tell anything about a person, about an individual from any of these studies. " David Brooks
Why isn't racism even being considered??????????
We got surveys from the DNC and from Ed Markey, asking our opinion about priorities for the Democratic party. Racism wasn't even on the list!!!!! The results will be totally scewed!!! Whatever happened to black lives matter? Did anyone notice what happened in Charlotesville today?
The section on all minorities doesn't do it. The history of African Americans in the U.S. is a totally different thing than the phenomena of "Irish need not apply" and current anti-imigrant sentiment. Those are important and must be addressed, but we mustn't forget our history.
This is really, really shocking to me.
Has anyone noticed this trend anywhere else?????
Suggestion for the MSM. Collect all of Trump's lies each day...
.... into one story. Call it Lies of the Day. Don't headline individual lies, even if the falsehood is pointed out in the story.
Is there a movement to return to paper ballots? nt
Might we be entering a new stage???? GOP supporting insurance subsidies
This is really exciting to me.... How come it disappeared from Google news almost as soon as it showed up????
Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the influential chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, announced that his panel would begin work in early September on legislation to “stabilize and strengthen the individual health insurance market” for 2018. He publicly urged Mr. Trump to continue making payments to health insurance companies to reimburse them for reducing the out-of-pocket medical expenses of low-income people.
In the House, two Republicans, Representatives Tom Reed of New York and Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, teamed with Democrats to promote incremental health legislation that would also fund the cost-sharing subsidies.
The moves were a remarkable response to the president’s repeated threats to send health insurance markets into a tailspin. They offered tangible indications of cooperation between the parties after Republican efforts to scrap the Affordable Care Act collapsed in the Senate last week, all but ending the seven-year Republican quest to overturn President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement. Lawmakers from both parties concede that the health law needs improvement, as consumers face sharp premium increases and a shrinking number of insurance options in many states.
