📣 How #COVID19 has spread across EVERY U.S. state *and* territory per capita over time (completely updated):
acasignups.net/20/11/23/how-c…
Remember last April when New York & New Jersey towered over every other state in #COVID19 infections?

That was then. This is now:
📣 How #COVID19 *deaths* per capita have spread across every U.S. state & territory over time:
acasignups.net/20/11/24/clone…
Far too crowded to label every state/territory, but I've labelled some of them for context. NJ & NY are still far higher than anywhere else, but MA, CT, LA, MS & RI aren't far behind, and North Dakota is skyrocketing at an alarming rate.

“Elite” means “the best”. That’s who you’re SUPPOSED to want running things. Every action film goes on and on about how the protagonist is an “elite soldier” etc.

This is @chucktodd’s “Hillary is overprepared” bullshit all over again.
Some seem to have misunderstood my point. I'm NOT saying that attending an Ivy League school automatically makes you the most qualified for a job, and lord knows it doesn't mean you're a good or decent person. Half of Trump's cabinet went to Harvard/Yale and they're assholes. 2/
For that matter, *I'm* considered (by some, anyway) to be a trustworthy, reliable source for ACA/healthcare policy data analysis despite only having a bachelor's degree from Michigan State & having NO official experience in the healthcare, insurance or actuarial fields. 2/

I see Paul Ryan is trending for some ungodly reason. Here’s a reminder that he has no clue how health insurance is supposed to work.

acasignups.net/18/04/11/paul-…
For those who don’t get it: What he describes as being a terrible thing is EXACTLY how health insurance...or pretty much any insurance...works: Those who don’t have health problems help pay for those who do, since they might have health problems themselves in the future.
Crap. This was one of the best & most popular healthcare threads I've ever posted, and somehow everything except the first tweet seems to have disappeared. :(

There's nearly 10,000 people watching the Michigan Board of Canvassers meeting already, which I'm guessing is around 9,990 more than usually do.
Annnnd we're off: Nearly 17,000 people watching.
BREAKING: THEY APPROVED THE MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING! I REPEAT: THEY APPROVED THE MINUTES!

Aside from the lack of hard evidence, even if it’s true that the lack of in-person canvassing hurt Dem turnout, it likely also saved lives, which was kind of the whole point.
For that matter, even if it turned out NOT to have saved any lives, that’s hardly a mistake I can blame them for making. Especially since HE STILL FUCKING WON BY SIX MILLION VOTES WHILE RECEIVING TEN MILLION MORE VOTES THAN BARACK OBAMA.
The problem downballot, as far as I can tell, was NOT Democratic turnout, it was REPUBLICAN turnout ALSO being sky high.

I’m not sure how much in person canvassing could’ve helped with THAT.

I’m sure rose Twitter is frantically scrambling to figure out who the hell he is so they can dig up some reason to disapprove.
Seriously, though, if he’s highly qualified , competent and respected by those who are relevant to the job, fantastic. Cabinet members don’t have to be high profile, and in some cases it’s probably better if they aren’t.
(This assumes the claim that he’s the SoS pick is accurate, of course).
