Journalists need to stop calling what he's doing as "false claims." They are LIES. I do like how the author calls one of his assertions "absurd" though.
I learned in January issue of Harper's that the "word 'huh' or its equivalent seems to exist in every human language, for unknown reasons." That fact makes sense to me.
Here are some interesting gleanings from the February and March Harper's Indexes:
- Rank of November 6, 2024, among the days with the most account deactivations on X since Elon Musk acquired the company: 1
- Factor by which the average wait to receive approval for federal disability benefits has increased since 2019: 2
- Estimated number of Americans who died in 2023 while waiting for such approval: 30,000
- Percentage change since 1973 in the average American's carbon emissions: -36
- Factor by which per capita U.S. carbon emissions exceed the global average: 3
- Average percentage by which the opening of a Walmart Supercenter causes nearby household incomes to decrease: 6
- Percentage of U.S. solar-power capacity growth last year accounted for by Texas: 31
- Percentage by which Texas's new solar-power capacity exceeded California's last year: 358
- Chance that an American believes they have undiagnosed ADHD: 1 in 4
- Chance that they do have ADHD: 1 in 17
I wonder how many more deactivations have happened on Twitter because of Musk's work with DOGE? I hope there have been a lot.
And I imagine the number of Americans who will die while waiting for approval for federal disability benefits will skyrocket this year because of DOGE cuts to the workforce.
I'm surprised about the solar growth in Texas. However, it makes sense that the state could harness solar power.
Like ADHD, I think there is a similar difference in Americans who think they have an anxiety disorder and those who actually have an anxiety disorder.
The U.S. is a well medicated nation because of Big Pharma.
