A) The National Crime Victimization Survey surveys victims and their surviving relatives.
B) The economy ≠ the poverty rate. But towards the point, what does you even mean. The existence of a statistic doesn’t deny the reality of those victimized. It simply expresses the commonality of an occurrence.
People are living in a fantasy world perpetuated by a media that stands to gain by over reporting tragedies while being silent on any good news. Pointing out statistics may lead people to trust the unreliable sources less. But that is a good thing. And knowledge of statistics is critical in coming to policy conclusions.
Their rate of inflation iis decreasing but they still experience inflation rather than deflation. INFLATION IS COMPOUNDING even if the rate of increase of inflation is slightly lower there is still a lot of inflation.
If you owe $100 and inflation is stuck at 200% per year after one year you’ll owe $300, after two years $900, three years $2,700.
Now if you owe $100 and inflation starts at 200% per year then drops to 190% for year 2, and then falls again to 180% for year three you’re looking at this: year 1 $300, year 2 $870, year 3 $2,436.
It’s better to owe someone $2,436 than it is to owe them $2,700. But owing someone $2,436 sucks a lot more than owing them $100.
I don’t know how this couldn’t be clear to anyone who understands the concept of inflation.
Because inflation is compounding in nature just like interest is. The longer you have a high inflation rate the worse the situation gets.
Only if you believe there is no direct connection between the devaluation of people’s savings paired with increased costs of goods and poverty.
Hyper inflation in itself leads to poverty.
It’s not a good thing. No one here is arguing that poverty is good. It’s that their current choice is ‘still pretty high inflation w/ high poverty’ is preferable to ‘holy shit that’s their monthly inflation w/ high poverty’.
Low poverty is no longer in Argentina’s deck for the foreseeable near future. Inflation will rob the working class people of any thing they are given or earn.
Because inflation rate is decreasing. It’s still triple digits but it’s going down.
Imagine a wildfire spreading rapidly. Remedial action is taken and then it continues to spread but notably slower. Obviously there’s more to do but it is still good news for a place where that is in short supply.
What do you think DNA is? The thing outside a criminals’s gloves? IRL isn’t CSI Miami. Go swap a NYC sidewalk and see what you get. That’d be a needle in a haystack.
Remember, they only have to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”.
This is like saying remember marathon runners only need to run 26.2 miles.
It’s not having our “head [in our] asses” it’s a decent respect for the freestanding system of laws. Social media vilianizing or martyrizing people alleged of cromes isn’t beneficial for true justice.
ITT, people out themselves as never having been in CT or talked to anyone in CT (D or R).
No one is going to sue over this. A CT Republican is differentiated from a CT Democrat by tie color.
Did he give a sperm sample or something at the crime seen? What DNA?
And public defenders though they are as skilled as any attorney are very much overworked in many places. Private counsel can offer more attention to the details of a case and spend time researching potentially novel theories to defend their client.
Not till he’s proven guilty in a court of law it isn’t.

For anyone who thinks this is significant or controversial.
In the US, a representative democracy, people typically want to vote for a representative (here the Pres.) who shares their views on issues. The US isn’t going to have a national referendum on Gaza where the people can directly vote.
What ever your view point(s) your time to vote on your issue(s) is during a presidential or midterm election.
5·2 months agoShit take that the judges must be bribed because politicians have enacted unpopular laws. The problem is the legislature here.
wild misinformation ads would be OK too…
Yes. Because the government is not the supreme arbiter of truth. If someone wants to put out an advert saying the sky is yellow they can. Our society functions on the principle that an open market of ideas will result in the best ideas prospering while a closed market of ideas would stifle new better ideas.
No need 1A speaks to that:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
No need. America is a nation who’s founder where largely of one religion but they ensured that no one religion should assert itself over others.
And what crime passed by the federal legislature did they commit that wasn’t in violation of the constitution (including BoR) in your opinion? Last I checked 1A is still there.
I’d say pretty good. How often do you see the federal government passing a law that violates the rights of the American people? And when it does how often can you say that there isn’t a constitutional violation in that law?
Additionally you say that like we don’t enjoy many rights that our global peers don’t. Like the right to a trial by jury in civil matters, to confront your accusor in a criminal trial, the many strict protections we have on searches, or the protections on political speech.
So many of the rights that document protect people take as granted. Most every violation of one of those rights can be declared to be because we have yet to enumerate that right or we haven’t followed the rules the constitution imposed on our government.
Having faith in politicians and liking a document designed to ensure the preservation of human rights & liberties are two different things.
NCVS data isn’t limited to murders or just homicides. And even if reports by victims or surviving members of their families was a significant issue it’d be mooted by the fact the core value of this study isn’t how much data shows in any one year but how it cross compares to other years.
