“Take two bong hits and call me in the morning.”

Speaking of anecdotal evidence I could offer a couple of observations. When I turned 60 doctors stopped talking about how healthy I was for my age and started talking about all the many, many diseases that were lurking just around the corner plotting to rob me of my “golden years”. This coincided with an avalanche of mailers offering me “advantage plans” that would fill in all the massive gaps in my Medicare coverage. It’s marketing. When I retired the company had seminars to help retirees sort thru the options - bottom line was, “it’s a crapshoot.” It all plays to fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Most of my colleagues based their choices on anecdotal evidence.

The automobile laws of 100 years ago are relatively nonexistent compared to what we have today. A point no one seems to consider.

No new restrictions in the last twenty five years? Well that clearly explains why gun violence has plummeted recently.

Well actually you kind of can. See there is this vocal minority in the US that refuses to acknowledge that there even is a gun problem. And they tend to vote mostly Republican because Fox News and the NRA have convinced them that the government is evil. So now the carnage is routine and constant because…..both sides?

Ah. Pixel. Bought mine five years ago. It was great for a few months. Then they killed off Google Play Music and updated it until it was useless. The hardware was solid so they destroyed it from the inside. Good times.
