🧵 The best solution to a complex problem is often the simplest.

If you went to engineering school in America in the last few decades, some frustrated professor probably told you 50 times to

Keep It Simple, Stupid!

KISS

The underlying tenet of successful engineering design. 2/ The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is one of the most complex problems modern society has faced.

It is multifaceted.

It’s global.

There are both short and long term consequences for every aspect.

It’s a Gordian knot that requires a multi-disciplinary team to even begin to ponder it.

How many times have you seen a map like this? Do you take it at face value?

Here’s why maps like this one, published by @nytimes, might be lying to us all.

These maps are made using election results data. These are numbers all tallied up in a database or spreadsheet summarizing how many people cast votes for each party's candidates on election day, by precinct.

The maps are only as good as the data.

I am so disappointed in our country, but I know I am partly to blame. I was angry and disillusioned about the level of corruption in our government, at all levels, but I did not know how to change it. I became complacent and took too many things for granted.

NOW WE ARE AWAKE I will never be complacent again. This corruption is completely intolerable. I am ANGRY + I will fight until we permanently change this country for the better.

I know you feel the same way. Our strength is in our numbers. We must stay united, strategic, and relentless.

@SenateDems @HouseDemocrats @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @StopBigMoney @maddow @ACLU @AP

brennancenter.org/analysis/brenn… The internet is "a ripe target for foreign adversaries seeking to meddle in elections." The widespread effort by Russian state proxies to influence American politics included covert expenditures on political ads online.

Online political spending, is likely to increase.

1/ Did you wake up on Nov 9, 2016 with a gnawing disquiet in your gut?

Me too.

Something wasn't right. It still isn't.

#unhackthevote 2/ Did you seriously question how in the hell election "results" could vary so widely from poll results?

Me too.

So did @mikefarb1.
