To the point of bankrupting the country, and then instituting mass
socialism / Marxism to attempt to keep everyone from starving. They'll
try to confiscate as much private property as possible and
redistribute it so that people don't die right away, and then keep the
system going so that their control is maintained in perpetuity.

1% - 20% sounds like odds in football games.


Science is all about chance? Like the 50% chance of rain?

"Science is all about chance? Like the 50% chance of rain?"

do you think the folks that predict weather are scientists? Do you
think they are wrong/bad/stupid lying scientists if they predict rain
and it does not rain?

If they miss a 50% forcecast - do you doubt all the others including
the 90% ones?
