geriatrickid Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Why not start with your source of information. Who is Statista and why are they reliable? You toss out "data" from an uncorroborated source and expect it to be accepted no questions asked. I will help you. Statista is owned by a German Advertising Company Ströer Media. It is a for profit operation that sells product placement and packages data for its customers. it is no longer the entity that it once was when it rightfully earned credibility. The most significant issue with Statista data is that it never ever shows its Sources. If I tell you that the average income in Cairns is $10,000 but offer no source it is not reliable data. If I offer the information, with the source shown as the Government of Australia Wage data drawn from payroll information, it is reliable. Statista in large part takes its data from public sources, but in other cases does not. No one knows where the info comes from. Stroer media wants you to accept its information, and it is presented nicely, but it is not reliable because it is not referenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows where the info comes from. The data is not correct? Was it even more? In any case, as usual, your claims are misleading. The accompanying article at Statista, which I quoted in the second post, says: Quote U.S. billionaires saw their wealth surge 20 percent since the start of the pandemic according to an analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness. Between March 18 and June 17, the total net worth of 643 American billionaires increased from $2.9 trillion to $3.5 trillion while a further 29 individuals joined the club. While their collective wealth grew by $584 billion, some 45.5 million Americans filed for unemployment. Here above I highlighted the source Statista mentions, to help you noticing it: "an analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness". In the article Statista also mentions Quote Commenting on the report's findings, ATF's executive director Frank Clemente said that "this orgy of wealth shows how fundamentally flawed our economic system is" and that "if this pandemic reveals anything, it’s how unequal our society has become and how drastically it must change." quoting "ATF's executive director Frank Clemente". Also, in case you need to question the correctness of the data, Statista names the journalist which wrote the article: "Niall McCarthy, Data Journalist, [email protected], +49 (40) 284 841 562)". To make sure you get it this time: Unlike your claim "No one knows where the info comes from", Statista clearly says that the source is "an analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness" and mentions and quotes "ATF's executive director Frank Clemente". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I listen to a number of podcasts. Here Joe Rogan is explaining about how social media and junk food are similar. Both easy, quickly satisfying yet unhealthy. Media companies and social media junkies seem to be benefitting from the covid scare along with big pharma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsZTGvMnqnc Edited July 9, 2020 by steelepulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
