I get this somewhat but including ciri? I feel like there was none of that with her character. What about her struck you as that?

Not quite, stagflation requires both high inflation and unemployment which we did see concurrently during COVID.

But it also needs low or negative economic growth which again we did see during COVID but growth and employment have been up so we haven't had a long period of stagflation.

The final key thing that I don't think is technically required is that the fed can't lower rates to drive growth because inflation is too high hence the economy gets stuck. It feels like this could be where we are heading but haven't quite been in a prolonged enough period to qualify for yet.

I agree with it not being about intelligence but laziness definitely makes this an issue even with docs

I can't find any sources or reporting on this. Not to say it's not happening but can't even find some dumb Musk tweet about this

I would like to say it's due to empathy... But I stopped flying United just because it's objectively the worst airline. Planes are cramped, tickets are expensive, cancellations have been an issue, treatment is atrocious. It's shouldn't be hard to vote with your wallet when literally any alternative is better

I should have included this but yes, there is a whole court case about this: https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2018/04/23/elon-musk-and-the-control-of-tesla/

But he doesn't own Tesla. I was mainly trying to focus on that point.

Though as others have mentioned he gets his wealth from many other sources. Small sourceless point but capital accumulation rarely occurs from ownership in a single company.

He doesn't own Tesla. "Elon Musk Tesla CEO Elon Musk is the largest shareholder in Tesla. With over 410 million shares, Musk holds 12.8% of all Tesla shares." https://www.investopedia.com/articles/insights/052616/top-4-tesla-shareholders-tsla.asp#%3A%7E%3Atext=and+State+Street.-%2CElon+Musk%2Cover+410+million+shares%2C+Musk+holds+12.8%25+of+all+Tesla+shares.%2C-4

As much as I feel for innocent's, the situation in El Salvador was bad: https://images.app.goo.gl/WWrXq7TXQWvqnuaV8

I feel like as harsh and authoritarian as Bulakes plan has been - ignoring mass violence on your people impacts a much greater magnitude of innocenta

It's crazy how far down one has to go for the right answer. MLs are by definiton highly authoritarian.

It's like asking why successful fascist always creat dictatorships... Like that's their plan.

I don't think you understand statistics well enough to speak on this.

2016 Presidential Election – Predicted Clinton over Trump with 71.4%.

The above for example was showing outcomes of simulations. Many polls reported way higher outcomes for Clinton and he was one of the few models showing a trump outcome and Trump's path to victory was in the simulation results. This wasn't a fail but a success of his model

Like when you are told that in a coin flip, heads is the outcome 51% of the time and hear every coin flip will be heads

What have they done to contribute to this?

[–] mildlyusedbrain@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Common thing said but pretty stupid. Most scientific discoveries are grounded in figuring out anecdotal phenomenon. This is even more true for social sciences
