[FRIAM] Election theft conspiracy theory

2024-11-20 Thread _ Bruno W
Anyone interested in double checking any of this or look at different statistics. I think it would be good to check that voter preference does correlate with voting machine vendor. I was able to get data from Michigan, have not looked beyond there yet. But the data will need to be reformatted to be

I asked MS Copilot and she gave the following answer: Me: Please help clarify this for me? In an interview, Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, made two seemingly contradictory claims: (a) 50,000 public employees were laid off, and (b) not a single job was lost. How can both statements be tr

I’m not entirely convinced this group will be moonwalking with joy over Javier Milei’s actions, but I must admit I’m intrigued by what he claims to have achieved in Argentina over the past year, as he shared on Lex Fridman’s podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NLzc9kobDk. .- .-.. .-.. / ..-.

Claude deserves some applause for doing a solid job summarizing the podcast — well done! The conclusion, "As with any extreme ideology, a degree of skepticism is warranted until real-world evidence validates the theories," seems pretty spot-on. It’s a good reminder that bold ideas often need to pro
