There are two kinds of studies I really enjoy. 1. Some wildly unexpected result in a classic field. Rare. 2. Quantification of some phenomenon in greater detail, which confirms current understanding. Happens all the time. Love it the most.

I’m just quoting the article. Sounds like you have more to add, care to comment on what IS ‘the real factor’?

Yea! Stop the Slop!

ok. And actions taken by Tina Peters are also destructive to society. Do you think my repeating that ‘pithy line’ is anywhere near as bad as the crimes that Tina Peters has been convicted of? It seems like you are hung up on this one line, and ignoring Peters’ crimes, which are the subject of OP’s post. Would it make you happier to make another post about the horrible nature of the private prison system in the US? It certainly would be more effective in furthering your goal of bringing attention to the problems posed by private prisons.

She did the crime, has no remorse, and would probably do it again. Read what the Justice Barrett had to say about her.

And yeah, it’s a stupid pithy line, but it applies to her. I’m not talking, nor was OP talking about the unjust nature of private prisons, which is well known and in need of fixing. You’ve tried to muddy the waters, by bringing up the ‘private, for profit, corporate prisons’, which is another unrelated but none the less extremely serious problem in the US today.

“You look absolutely radiant, my dearest Marie”, said Pierre. “As do you, my dearest Pierre”, said Marie. :-( Glad they did it, sad they suffered for it. Radiation can be Hot Stuff.

Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.

edit: 9 Years, Tina, makes me wonder how you will justify the enormous harm you did. You’ll be around 77, and long forgotten by your supporters by the time you emerge from incarceration. smh

The Details: "Judge says “prison is the only place” for Tina Peters, who remained defiant even as she asked the court for probation " Former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters was sentenced Thursday to nine years behind bars by a judge who labeled her a “charlatan” for her role in a 2021 breach of her own county’s election system.

“Your lies are well-documented and these convictions are serious,” he said. “I am convinced you would do it all over again. You are as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen.” He added that the damage she caused is “unmeasurable.”

Barrett also called out Peters for lying when she demonstrated her infamous videotaped attempt to kick a police officer in 2022. That incident had nothing to do with her trial, but she included it in a litany of lies she said were part of the case against her.

She bent over and kicked a leg in the air to show how having her arm pulled had caused that involuntary movement. Barrett called that assertion “preposterous.” There was tittering throughout the courtroom over her demonstration.

Gah, what slop.

Every accusation is a confession.

I’m pretty sure we could all have quite reasonably expected rising costs, destruction of science, frittering of international standing, increased morbidity and mortality, etc.

Merry Wednes!!

When did Miller get hired at HR manager at 60 Minutes? Why would anyone listen to that weirdo cueball?

No, too much ire, and too little dignity in that. Laugh at him, ridicule him. And if/when Landry arrives kettle him in, and run him in circles, all the while laughing in his face.

Could you please elaborate?

I HAVE to wait till after work.

And no one is surprised.
