It’s not just relatively high, it’s high in absolute terms (number of deaths_. Besides, it’s not like the pandemic killed so many people that the denominator’ (population) has substantially changed. Population growth was still positive, albeit at a much slower rate.

And yet the numbers are up despite the more work required to compile data. And that also ignores the 2021-2020 years prior to the new system being implemented in 2021.

That’s blatantly untrue, the article I linked to was published Jan 13, 2022 and referenced deaths in 2021.

Maybe if the argument was made 7 years ago it would be worth considering, but the image is way out of date. We’ve had 3 presidents since the most recent data point on that chart.

That’s a far cry from the “consistently declining for years” or whatever you had before the edit.

The 90s were awful. They had middle seats that didn’t go flat, even in first class.

I already expect all my info to be shared and sold. It’s hard to live off the grid these days unless if youre that crazy extended family member with a cabin in the woods.

Damn, if that’s true that’s some great engineering in the part of the car manufacturer and store contractors. I would think the hole in the glass would be way bigger than what’s shown in the pictures.

It’s weird how Moscow gets associated with Russia but whenever St. Petersburg comes up in the news I think of the one near Tampa. This happened recently with the explosions near the Russian city.

Mexico might have a drug lord problem, but Canada seems pretty stable? What’s going to tear them apart internally? Is it
