You are using a false equivalence. Almost none of Swedish billionaires are in high tech.

Almost all of them are old people outside of tech

Which US part suffered terribly?

aapl88888on Europe is now a corporate also-ran. Can it recover its footing?

If the US had its eastern part communist, it too would have a higher average GDP from decades ago. It is basic economics.

aapl88888on Europe is now a corporate also-ran. Can it recover its footing?

So the entire EU economy grew at the same speed than the US one but not its 500 bigger companies.

This is misleading. The article says the poorer (former communist) eastern European countries got richer, which brought up the average.

What a misleading article. Someone sent out a letter and requested signatures.

aapl88888on Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided U.S.

I just did a Google search for QAnon for Tucker and Fox News. The news on QAnon are labeled under "conspiracy" on foxnews.com. I see no promotion of the QAnon theory anywhere.

That is a ridiculous argument to be honest. 100% of Americans have heard of Nazism. Does that mean 100% of Americans are Nazis? By your logic, more Democrats are QAnon believers (28%).

I suspect you're lying because Pew research shows the vast majority of Republicans don't even know what QAnon is. More Democrats know about QAnon than Republicans (28% vs 18%).

Your kind of rhetoric is what's dividing people.

aapl88888on Violating the Benford's Law

There is a rebuttal to the paper you cited

aapl88888on Violating the Benford's Law

You're arguing with a side that is using statistical analysis to detect fraud. Meanwhile your arguments are:

- "fixation on wildly cherry picked data and missaplied (sic) statistics is the conspiracy theory"

- "There are already court cases with the best experts in the land looking at the counts"

- "They are starting to be laughed out of court because they have no evidence to support their claims"

I don't find your arguments compelling because you are arguing to authority. You also use a case that was dismissed that has nothing to do with Benford's Law. Please address specifically what data is being cherry picked and why Benford's Law shouldn't apply in this election.
