Keurig misled the public over claims its K-Cup pods are 100% recyclable, the SEC says
𝖌𝖆𝖇𝖇𝖆𝖌𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖑
" K-Cup pods are [ ...] widely accepted in curbside recycling systems across North America. We continue to encourage consumers to check with their local recycling program to verify acceptance of pods, as they are not recycled in many communities."
... that seems a bit contradictory, Keurig

FCC chair rebuffs Trump’s post-debate call to strip ABC’s license
The agency can’t revoke licenses when politicians dislike coverage, Rosenworcel said.

god he's such a manchild

I really hope saying ABC should have their licenses revoked and that he's going to put Stephen Colbert/Jimmy Kimmel in prison for their negative coverage helps people see the insecure fascism for what it is

Four out of ten Americans think he won the debate. Some people just can't let him do wrong.
Hugh Following
is it 4 out of 10 Americans or 4 out of 10 respondents they polled
Hugh Following
a lot of the polls are 'we called 1000 people on the phone and - of those who were willing to answer an unknown number in the middle of the day - x% of those people think [ y]'

Yeah, I never take those polls seriously and neither should anyone else

It's kind of like the polls predicting Kamala's chances of winning - I'm actually glad the media is calling it a tight race because if they get over confident and say it's all but guaranteed she'll win now, people won't show up to vote
Un(t)sundered
Also I want to say the polls at least used to only call landlines? And how many people still have those?

I hate the doomerism aspect of it, but at the same time I don't want them to let people get cocky

like if 2016 showed anything is that polls are never correct.

like nobody likes to be polled, especially over politics.

I'm recovering from surgery and have been basically binging political commentary news and youtube channels for four weeks now and it's made even more obvious how flimsy the polls are
Hugh Following
the "we called 1000 potential voters" was a real number quoted
Hugh Following
like wow! 1000 whole Americans! I bet that was a large enough sample to be representative!
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
It's why I tend to take things like polling and statistics with a grain of salt

as a political scientist, who's worked in politics for coming up preeeeetty close on 20 years here in a few (sooner than I'd like to think about; when did I get old), I will scream from every rooftop forever that polls are largely nonsense. 2016 vindicated me in that position.

I honestly would love to be polled except I will never answer a number I don’t recognize to be polled and whenever I receive a request to take a poll via email or text it feels like it is always some sort of scam to get me to donate money
Hooded Figure
This. I'm getting at least twenty "donate and we'll tooootally match it 600%" "take our poll, we promise we're not just mining you for marketable data" "PLEEEASE I'M [NICE POLITICIAN] AND WE'RE SCARED YOU SWITCHED PARTIES" emails a day and I do not have the time or energy to figure out which ones are scams.

I wasn't getting more than one a week till this summer and now it's a flood.

I answered one once but it was a college doing it, so for educational purposes, idk if it counts. And I went to the website and just contacted them directly to make sure it wasn't a scam because lmao
