that's the subtle, insidious nature of the way the GOP has been running things for the past several decades; it's not about preventing a specific person from voting, it's about making it so they can't all vote.

You close down all but 1 precinct in a pro-Democrat area. No one was denied the right to vote, but anyone who can't wait in line for 8 hours won't vote. It's genius in a way; voting only matters in the aggregate, so you make it as hard as possible for the other side to vote and as easy as possible for your side.

So why don’t we do this? Because it’s unsustainable, just as it has been for covid

---

Because we're talking about a scale difference. The difference between tens of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands or even millions.

The sad part is that it isn't unsustainable if we'd just gotten our shite together and done it right from the start. Countries that are handling this well are having very few cases right now and so they can trace the cases they do have, which means they can go out and do as they like for the most part. The only reason social distancing and staying home and the like are still so important to us is that we never got things under control in the first place.

Whatever, it's not apples to apples and you know that.

No, it's not. Flu kills a tiny fraction of the number that covid does each year, but it does so exclusively in the fall and winter (which we're just entering) and it does so without mass efforts at distancing and mask-wearing and the like. If we put the effort into not catching the flu that we have for covid the number of flu deaths would be cut drastically, even with a vaccine.

It’s really not unless you’re overweight, elderly, or an underlying condition.

Y’all can stay home if you’re scared.

---

You have no idea what you're talking about. Every disease is more likely to kill someone who has underlying conditions. There is 0 scientific evidence to suggest that Covid is less deadly than flu for any age group, any demographic. It's complete bullshite. The worst flu season of the past decade, according to the CDC, killed about 60,000 people. We're closing in on four times that dying to covid. Most years about 30-40,000 die from influenza. We'll probably end up around 10x that number, and that's despite all the effort and precautions we've put into fighting covid.

You mean he's letting human beings make poor decisions for others.

That's not entirely true. Saying it's math makes it seem like this concrete thing that yields only correct results. It's data to which he applies his own weights.

I don't put any stock in these, because I don't really believe in relying on predictive models to tell what's going to happen in a game where a star player could have a bad game because he woke up in the wrong mood.

For example, the week 7 pick for UGA/SC was 36-17 in favor of the dawgs. While I understand that was an outlier, shite like that happens all the time.

They are fun numbers to look at, but I put absolutely no stock into them when I'm deciding my picks.

It's a probabilistic projection. It's always going to give you what it sees as the single most likely outcome out of a vast number of possible outcomes. That doesn't mean that the particular outcome it forecasts is likely to happen; in fact, they'll barely ever nail the score exactly. It's a median result; if the math is right each team will outperform the projection roughly half the time.
