Name any that you can make anywhere near as cheap simple policy decisions to fix as banning guns.

I was mostly alluding to that as the only possible reason Clarence Thomas would make the court. Sadly it wasn't affirmative action, but rather corruption that got him a seat.

On a phone, it’s really hard to read the axis labels. Is this going to zero or zoomed in?

If you made this a png we could pinch and zoom. As a video we can’t zoom.

So it’s really hard to get the necessary data to be viewed this way.

Gender based affirmative action has long been accepted and practiced. The female Supreme Court Justice, Amy Berrett, was nominated by Trump because of her gender. to replace Justice Ginsburg. Now imagine the same Justice, to rule against race based affirmative action.

Well thanks to Pakistan kashmir is not a normal place is it. You people should be more concerned about your own country which is run by your corrupt and defeated army. Karachi, your biggest city, needs paramilitary presence just to maintain some semblance of law and order.

That article also says that there are big differences in funding across states

There are better predictors of homicide rates and gun homicide rates than gun ownership. It just gets awkward to talk about them.

Offset by state and federal funding. See here.

> on average, poor students attend schools that are at least as well-funded as their more advantaged peers.

Combustion of vinyl chloride = Hydrogen chloride and around 9% phosgene plus a garden variety of other toxic compounds

First of all there is a huge difference between paramilitary and police.

Kashmir and its surrounding areas have a population of about 13 million at most. With very low population density. Delhi has a population of about 32 million with very high population density.

And paramilitary isn't the only force in Kashmir is it?

Paramilitary + Military + Police

This is copious amounts of force to maintain control of a small valley with a small population.

Probably depends on the definition of waste. Maybe some industrial waste counts in here.

It was specifically requested by people in an earlier thread that had a similar chart that included suicides. Moreover, legislative solutions to suicides vs homicides might look very different, so you need to separate the data out to analyze that. If suicides are the driving factor and not homicides, for example, high capacity magazine and assault weapon bans won’t do any good.

Including Jammu and Ladakh. Delhi alone has a police force of 80,000

I don’t think that’s true - lots of funding is based on local taxes and those don’t bring in the same revenue everywhere

Philadelphia parties hard apparently

You should really google Quincy Jones. One of the most influential people in music history, also involved in films and TV.

He spoke at my college graduation, fascinating guy

That amount of paramilitary in a small valley

80,000 at its peak.

Are the tools free to use?

India using all that paramilitary in Kashmir

Pulling folks with dark skins back up after racists pushed them down is bad now. Ok got it.

I see the glass half full: if the system can take all that and go back to normal afterwards, we’re in the best country in the world
