Politics is the Worst

[Alaris]

What? Crime positively correlates with poverty, not wealth. Why would you think it's evenly spread across economic classes?

I don't.

But consider a few things.
1) Even if my estimate is 100x too high, that still leaves 223 people who should be in jail. I somehow doubt my estimate is 100x too high.
2) Those at the 1% have way more wealth to do really damaging things to society
3) Those at the 1% have way more wealth to hide or get away with the really bad things they do

I don't know if the sum total change to rates is down, but at least some insurance companies are now lowering their rates because of Obamacare:

Not really politics, but an app that lets you scan products and tells you what company they're from and can even tell you what campaigns there are against the company. The hippie in me is rejoicing. At least it would be if I could get it to work.

How is an app that tells you what campaigns there are against a company not political? Based on the link title, I assume it's not just listing product recall campaigns.

I like the "what company" they are from part, though I wonder how detailed the information is. Lots of room for playing politics in there too.

It's political, but it's not politics in the government sense, I guess is what I meant.

Ah, yeah, I see what you mean now.
