I can’t tell yet

2019-03-12 23:12:44 UTC  

Probably Trump, too much split voting in the Dem Party, Bernie, Biden, and lots of women compared to just one in 2016, I understand most people vote for the nominee but I'm expecting some write ins.

2019-03-12 23:12:55 UTC  

Don't understand why there's so many Dems running,

2019-03-12 23:34:23 UTC  

You could say the same about Repubs in 2016

2019-03-12 23:34:27 UTC  

But look where that got us

2019-03-12 23:44:52 UTC  

Nobody stood out there though

2019-03-12 23:45:03 UTC  

And there was one lady Carly Fiorina

2019-03-12 23:45:19 UTC  

Now we have several women and several high status men

2019-03-12 23:45:28 UTC  

Plus Howard Schultz running would probably help

2019-03-12 23:46:35 UTC  

Schultz would severiously dent the political landscape

2019-03-12 23:47:41 UTC  

Do you think it would help GOP win or DEM?

2019-03-12 23:51:27 UTC  

It would definitely hurt the Dems but there’s a chance that if Trump makes a fool of himself that he could snag moderate Repubs too

2019-03-12 23:51:42 UTC  

The only problem is that everybody hates him 😂

Remember that time Congress had a televized lottery for the Vietnam draft?

The US had a ~13% casualty rate.

2019-03-13 01:03:24 UTC  

Let's have a televized lottery for every Congressman's name. 11 names drawn to die, 60 to be wounded

2019-03-13 01:36:50 UTC  

How about no

2019-03-13 01:39:08 UTC  

y not

2019-03-13 01:47:34 UTC  

Congresspeople aren’t the cause of the problem, it’s the system and the people the system represents

2019-03-13 01:47:51 UTC  

(actually, some of it is the congresspeople)

2019-03-13 02:00:02 UTC  

Why not set an example?

2019-03-13 02:00:10 UTC  

Actions have consequences.

2019-03-13 02:44:13 UTC  

I personally believe congressional salaries should be lowered

2019-03-13 02:44:27 UTC  

170k base? endorsements? donations? books? it's too much

2019-03-13 02:44:49 UTC  

not to mention benefits and the fact that their staff are paid separately from their salary

2019-03-13 02:48:02 UTC  

^

2019-03-13 03:52:10 UTC  

Maybe, yeah, plus the whole election process takes an insane amount of time and money which makes them inefficient

2019-03-13 05:08:47 UTC  

Why not just abolish congress?

2019-03-13 05:19:07 UTC

@wahx mobility is irrelevant

2019-03-13 07:46:25 UTC  

There’s many other factors that determine this it’s not worth looking at

2019-03-13 07:46:30 UTC  

Such as intervention, mentality

2019-03-13 07:48:47 UTC  

In the us case I would say mentality and social factors

2019-03-13 10:13:24 UTC  

how is it calculated

2019-03-13 10:13:58 UTC  

wjat does it mean

2019-03-13 10:14:32 UTC  

intergeneration earnings are very elastic = bad ?

2019-03-13 10:17:33 UTC  

In a society with equal opportunity, a father's income would have no relation to that of his son (a correlation of 0). On the other hand, a country where jobs and income transition from one generation to the next would have a correlation of 1.
