Question about Brexit

Wrong... statistically factoring in the population percentages of each race to the population recieving assistance, Your statement is false... but you knew that probably or should have known it unless you are watching too much CNN or MSNBC... (how's that shoe feel on the other foot?? regarding your ongoing "fox news" comments)

Here's the statistics...

Welfare statistics by race
  • 43 percent of Medicaid recipients were white, 18 percent were African American and 30 percent were Hispanic in 2016. [Source: KFF]
  • In 2016 36.2 percent of SNAP program beneficiaries were white, 25.6 percent were African American, 17.2 percent were Hispanic, 3.3 percent were Asian. [Source: USDA]
  • Of TANF recipients in 2016, 27.9 percent of were white, 19.1 percent were African American 36.9 percent were Hispanic. [Source: Department of Health and Human Services]
  • 41.6 percent of the African American population and 36. 4 percent of the Hispanic population participated in at least one government assistance program in a given month. [Source: United States Census Bureau]

... and african americans are 1/6th of the white population, so multiply their number by 6 to get the ratio of those recieving assistance compared to the whole of their population... OR look at the percentage numbers and realize for the racial percentages to be equal african americans have to be near 1/6th of the white percentage numbers... which they are not even close to.

So taking just the SNAP number which is "whites = 36%", the corresponding african number to be equal to the whites would be " 6%", but the actual number is 25.6%...

I guess they don't teach the "maths" on MSNBC... happy thanksgiving! o_O

Funny I don't remember including the disclaimer "factoring in the population percentages of each race to the population recieving assistance"

I do remember saying "majority" which, by the numbers, whites ARE.

I don't own a television so no MSNBC. What I know about FOX I have learnt from FOX news viewers who are, in my experience, mostly misinformed.
 
But happy Thanksgiving to you too Frank!

I'm trying to get the Norton out for a trip to the grandparents but the weather ain't great and I've been drinking.
 
Fired mine up today and fumigated the shed, not much left alive in there. We need to export some of our rain to our Aussie relatives, they sure need it ! The Norton didn't go out needless to say.

It makes zero sense that you were saying most are white without implying there's no racial disparity, and it meaningless to compare each number because the white population is 6 times the black population, so why make a statement based on race if your point wasn't that there wasn't a racial disparity based on race? The fact that you say MOST are white implys that the disparity is racial, and whites as a group take advantage of those "benefits" more than other groups. IF that's not your point, then why mention "WHITES"??

... In reality the opposite of what you imply is true,... sadly. I be watchin' me some foxes newz, so anytime you want to debate a fact or the information rather than who said it, I'm here to set you straight.... Have I ever lied to you?? inspite of my verbosity?? lol

**************
Don't ride in the freezing cold, intoxicated, or any combination of them both... Enjoy the bird and the grandparents, and take an uber if your hammered....

preferred the old days myself. got wankered and rode everywhere. we were the only idiots on the road. fire by the lake at 1am. brilliant days
 
Went straight through the hedge into a field steaming drunk on my bantam, bike stalled, headlight fell out. Found a bullet connector had parted somehow in my challenged state. Fired it up, went back through the hedge and home. Work at 6 the next morning. Cannot condone any of it, but them were the days. 4 pints now and I can't even get up in the morning.

much the same. don't remember scotch being so strong back then
 
Problem here Craig is, he's all ready cost you $230,000 and now he's locked up it's going to cost you even more. My solution would be to drop him in Amsterdam without a parachute , then the only extra cost will be a funeral instead of another 230,000 Dutch Euros to keep the useless creature in the manner to which he's been accustomed.

After further reading our friend from Yemen via Netherlands may be up to something .... investagators have found 4-direct deposits to his bank account from our Fed. Gov. totaling $18,000 last month , then he sent $27,000 to a un-named man in the Netherlands via several wire transfers , and another $11,000 wire to someone in Germany ..... what is he up to ? .... a spy maybe , for who ?
 
So it was ok to pay hard working people lousy wages then ?

I never said that, so don’t put words into my mouth.

There is still the same situation today, poor people are hard up and living on the breadline going to food banks in order to eat, even nurses are doing it, while the higher paid hobnobs pay themselves even higher incomes that now have a even higher poor/rich ratio of only 25 years ago – so what’s changed?

If you are a wage earner, you have a different perspective from those who believe they have arrived. However the truth probably is that we are all programmed to comply. I worked in heavy engineering for many years and I realise that unions have a role to play. ISO9000 type international standards are based upon 'continual improvement' - without worker participation, achieving that becomes very difficult. Those standards are a fundamental part of globalisation. Hitler was able to run German industry without industrial democracy and so do the Chinese, but Hitler lost WW2. The industrial deaths and injuries in China are horrendous.

The difference between Hitler and the Chinese is that both have free slave labour to some extent.

Hitler, Russians, Chinese? there is no difference at all. 20,000,000 killed by Stalin alone? Chinese under mao se tong? probably even more. All 3 shoulda gone in the pit with their after birth!!!!
 
as I spk. attack on London bridge. if he's white they will give a description. if he's muslim or black it will be more to follow! guaranteed.

The point is this, those same poor whites calling for a cut in gov benefits often live in rural communities completely dependent on gov. support. And will still vote for the man taking food off their table because "Mexicans!"

I've got nothing against poor people or white people, as I am both (poor by NYC standards at least). I just don't like to see people manipulated and scared into voting against their best interests.

Sorry for the digression, back to Brexit!


On a side note, 50 miles, 40 degrees and three Thanksgiving dinners on the Norton yesterday. Managed to stay sober enough throughout.

Here is a video of the incident, warning for those who don't want to see a fella getting shot...
(Edit I have removed the link, didn't feel appropriate posting graphic footage)
Appears knife guy got the shit kicked out of him by a bunch of bystanders then shot...
