So many responses to Seattle's DVOA this year have been like this. "Seattle isn't really that good, so DVOA must be garbage."
Have you considered that maybe Seattle IS that good and our memories of classic teams are not as accurate as we think? (1/x)

Which tells us how flawed that metric is. Seattle is good, but teams with legit offensive lines would be able to score on them. 90s Was, Nyg, Dallas for example.
I've watched the last 40 Superbowls, Seattle isn't top 3. But you keep routing your stat

You really do have to wonder how much of the us tech sector is just fraud and how much of the rest of the economy has been hollowed out the past couple decades as a result of throwing money at the tech sector.
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines
During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Would be interesting to take this further. E.g. are moderate politicians perceived as more corrupt?

Those 40 dems need to organize and vote for new leadership.
49-40 vote with 5 Dems voting yes, they flip to no and the vote fails! This is a lifetime judicial appointment

New at Can We Still Govern: Here is one thing I wish more people understood about government. There is a lot of rent-seeking by private vendors in our social safety net. Trump's policies will make this worse.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I hope people understand that there is a spectrum when it comes to elections from completely free and fair to completely rigged. It seems like the focus is on election/no election and that isn’t really how things have worked for decades.
In an interview yesterday with Reuters, President Trump boasted that he has accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”
