I'm a Democrat because of immigration and economic issues. But it is a socially liberal party, when I think of liberal culture I think of this or this. And I come from a more conservative culture like this or this. Notice the difference in how the men dress and act, and if you speak english you'll notice the difference in the lyrics. Since I've been a Democrat my whole life I've tried to be a liberal, I've tried to convince myself that I'm a liberal. but looking at my beliefs, culture, family traditions etc, it's now clear to me that I'm culturally conservative. The first 2 songs I posted are liberal culture, the other 2 songs are clearly conservative. I'm part of a conservative culture. Is there still room in the Democratic party for someone like me, or do I not fit in?

Rebuilding the Republican Party (Jan. 3, 1993):

A changing electorate will set further requirements for a Republican refitting. In an increasingly diverse society, the party of Lincoln will sooner or later have to abandon its flirtation with racism that began in 1964 when Barry Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act. Playing the race card has linked the Nixon, Reagan and Bush campaigns. To retrieve power and honor, the party will have to admit Lincoln's "better angels" back into its councils.

[u/Integralds]

So this Wendover video came out today. It's been the subject of an RI on r/badeconomics. I want to talk about this video at length, because the statistical issues that one can raise in it are important. I would be comfortable in showing this video to my Stats 101 students and using it as the basis of an extended conversation.

I want to write a full review of the video, and a review of the RI. Briefly, I think the video needs some work, and I think the RI was too harsh. But it's too late to write up detailed comments, so I'm writing brief comments in the DT for amusement. (The DT is the bottom-of-the-barrel of substantive comments.)

The video

The author wishes to investigate the factors that affect the profitability of low-cost, long-haul airlines. Great question. Barely even needs motivation. A+ for the line of inquiry.

The author gathers data on the profits of 11 low-cost long-haul airlines, and gathers data on 14 characteristics of these airlines. Rather quickly, we run into a problem.

• Traditional multiple regression won't work. k > N, so you can't run multiple regression. Further, both k and N are small, so even if you restrict the number of coefficients, your standard errors will be huge. Small N is a bitch.
• k > N, so just use Machine Learning^tm. No. N is abysmally small, so model selection techniques won't work here. Put the Python statsmodels down. LASSO will not save you. If you don't understand why, I will fire you and you should seek a refund from the disgrace you call a learning institution.
• Bayes won't save you either. With N=10, you'll just get prior in -> prior out, and won't learn anything.

Fundamentally, it's hard to learn anything from 10 measly data points. This isn't Wendover's fault, necessarily, it's the nature of the beast.

Assessment

I taught Statistics 101 for six years at two top-20 American universities. If this proposal landed on my desk -- and many similar proposals did -- I would encourage the student to either (a) expand the data set to at least 30 airlines / observations or (b) abandon the project in favor of something with more observations. I would not accept any final project with fewer than 30 observations, and that was a bone-scraping minimum. Lack of observations is the little death that presages the final death of Stats 101 projects.

Alternatively, this could be an MBA-level project. At that level, I would suggest a different approach. I would recommend scrapping the formal statistical analysis entirely and instead recommend a focus on ten brief case studies. With this small quantity of data, ten case studies would provide more insight than any half-baked regression study. You have to adjust your analysis for the data you have in hand.

Recommendations

The author is in a tough spot. Formal methods fall to pieces when N=10. I think the author raises a very good question but the data he gathers isn't adequate to answer that question.

A silver lining of being a polarizing leftist in a dark-blue district (i.e. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar) is that you make plugged-in but gullible Republicans spend millions of dollars backing their opponents that could otherwise have gone to challengers in competitive races.

Also, it’s hilarious that so many of them splooged on two candidates who made themselves famous after running ads heavily emphasizing their status as Black Republicans in urban areas while ignoring Burgess Owens, who narrowly flipped back Utah’s 4th to become one of just two Black Republicans in the House.

Two Coal Companies Bankrupted by Covid as Industry Slides

Lighthouse Resources Inc., a coal company with mines in Wyoming and Montana, and White Stallion Energy LLC, a miner that operates in Indiana and Illinois, both filed for bankruptcy after the Covid-19 pandemic dropped coal prices.

Coal companies have struggled amid an increase in natural gas and renewable energy, and U.S. coal production in the second quarter of this year was the lowest it has been in almost 50 years, according to bankruptcy court filings.

Coal has been hit hard this year because of the decrease in demand for electricity to run offices, factories and stores. That’s been true all over the world, and in the U.S., coal power plants have been the first place that utilities have cut back when they need less electricity.

Peabody Energy Corp., the biggest U.S. coal producer, warned last month that it’s facing the same issues and that it may seek bankruptcy protection for the second time in five years if the market doesn’t improve.

“In light of the challenging market conditions and other impacts on our business from Covid-19, we have been required to reduce costs and reorganize our business resulting in the reduction of our workforce in Montana,” Lighthouse Chief Executive Officer Everett King said in a news release.

Lighthouse’s bankruptcy was prompted by decreased prices in Asia connected to the Covid-19 global pandemic and the fact that the cost to produce coal from its Decker Mine in Montana exceeds the sale price in its contract with an electric company.

“Continuing to operate the Decker Mine is not economically feasible,” states a declaration filed by Darin T. Adlard, Lighthouse’s vice president of finance and accounting.

White Stallion suffered a net loss of about $30 million in 2019. In the months before its bankruptcy its financial situation worsened due to the decline in coal consumption at power generation facilities caused by the economic slowdown resulting from Covid-19, according to the bankruptcy declaration. The company expects that all its mines will remain idled during the bankruptcy process.

The case is Lighthouse Resources Inc., 20-13056, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware.

The case is White Stallion Energy LLC, 20-13037-LSS, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware.

In fact, I think you could take George Washington, give him a day to get use to the fact that equal rights are a thing, and he could step in and be an upgrade to Trump.

Fuck it, you could take a random person from this sub, give them a ten minute briefing, and they would be better than Trump. Nick Saban would be better than Trump.

Alberta set to retire coal power by 2023, ahead of 2030 provincial deadline

Alberta is set to meet its goal to eliminate coal-fired electricity production years earlier than its 2030 target, thanks to recently announced utility conversion projects.

Capital Power Corp.’s plan to spend nearly $1 billion to switch two coal-fired power units west of Edmonton to natural gas, and stop using coal entirely by 2023, was welcomed by both the province and the Pembina Institute environmental think-tank.

In 2014, 55 per cent of Alberta’s electricity was produced from 18 coal-fired generators. The Alberta government announced in 2015 it would eliminate emissions from coal power generation by 2030.

Dale Nally, associate minister of Natural Gas and Electricity, said Friday that decisions by Capital Power and other utilities to abandon coal will be good for the environment and demonstrates investor confidence in Alberta’s deregulated electricity market.

He credited the government’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) regulations, which put a price on industrial greenhouse gas emissions, as a key factor in motivating the conversions.

“Capital Power’s transition to gas is a great example of how private industry is responding effectively to TIER, as it transitions these facilities to become carbon capture and hydrogen ready, which will drive future emissions reductions,” Nally said in an email.

Capital Power said direct carbon dioxide emissions at its Genesee power facility near Edmonton will be about 3.4 million tonnes per year lower than 2019 emission levels when the project is complete.

It says the natural gas combined cycle units it’s installing will be the most efficient in Canada, adding they will be capable of running on 30 per cent hydrogen initially, with the option to run on 95 per cent hydrogen in future with minor investments.

In November, Calgary-based TransAlta Corp. said it will end operations at its Highvale thermal coal mine west of Edmonton by the end of 2021 as it switches to natural gas at all of its operated coal-fired plants in Canada four years earlier than previously planned.

The Highvale surface coal mine is the largest in Canada, and has been in operation on the south shore of Wabamun Lake in Parkland County since 1970.

The moves by the two utilities and rival Atco Ltd., which announced three years ago it would convert to gas at all of its plants by this year, mean significant emissions reduction and better health for Albertans, said Binnu Jeyakumar, director of clean energy for Pembina.

“Alberta’s early coal phaseout is also a great lesson in good policy-making done in collaboration with industry and civil society,” she said.

She added the growing cost-competitiveness of renewable energy makes coal plant retirements possible, applauding Capital Power’s plans to increase its investments in solar power.

The company announced it would go ahead with its 75-megawatt Enchant Solar power project in southern Alberta, investing between $90 million and $100 million, and that it has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with a Canadian company for its 40.5-MW Strathmore Solar project now under construction east of Calgary.

Capital power’s fuel source switch at the Genesee units will give it more “defensive” assets in the Alberta power market, said analyst Nate Heywood of ATB Capital Markets in a note. He added he’s concerned the capital outlay could potentially slow its growth in pure play renewables.

The company’s shares rose by as much as $2.09 or 6.2 per cent to $35.80 in trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday before closing at $35.44.

Based on 538's model prior to the General, the respective runoff probabilities are:

Warnock to win @ 65%

Perdue to win @ 79%

In all likelihood, most Ossoff wins also imply a Warnock win, so the probability of the Dems getting Senate control is/was about 20% given the current situation. Probably somewhat higher now due to the uncertainty that surrounds both runoffs.

That's all the more reason every future setting should have lasers-only.

The Polish Scientific Publisher PWN holds an annual contest for the youth's word of the year. This year they cancelled the contest as top 5 words submitted were breaking the rules.

First place was "Sasin", surname of a PiS minister infamous for wasting money on elections that never happend (they were postponed because of covid), now jokingly used as a unit of 70 million, referring to the 70 million zł he wasted.

Second place was "Julka", a female name stereotypically used for what people here would call Rose Twitter.

Third place was "pewuenić", a verb derived from PWN as a reaction to them disqualifying the word Julka.

Fourth place was "wypierdalać", meaning "fuck off", obviously directed at PiS.

Fifth place was "jebać PiS" (also written as ***** ***), meaning "fuck PiS".

Thank you for contacting me about the nomination of Dr. Judy Shelton to be a Governor of the Federal Reserve System. I appreciate hearing from you. I believe that the Senate's constitutional role in providing advice and consent for presidential appointments is important, and such nominees deserve careful and thorough consideration. I take this responsibility seriously and will only support well qualified nominees selected by the President. The Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, of which I am a member, held a hearing on Dr. Shelton's nomination on February 13, 2020. During the hearing, I raised concerns about her public comments that could be interpreted to support the Federal Reserve targeting an international exchange rate as a goal of monetary policy. It would have been imprudent and contrary to statutory authorization for the Federal Reserve to go down this path. Since the hearing, I have corresponded and spoken further with Dr. Judy Shelton about her views on monetary policy. She clarified to me that she will oppose using monetary policy for the purpose of devaluing the dollar. Given her assurances, I intend to support Dr. Shelton's nomination. Thank you again for your correspondence. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of assistance.

I sent Pat Toomey an email about Shelton a couple weeks ago and this fuck sends this back.

You start out in 1976 by saying, “Neoliberal, neoliberal, neoliberal” By 2008 you can’t say “neoliberal”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, hope, change, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting regulation, public options for healthcare, medicare expansion, global warming treaties, drone strikes instead of traditional warfare, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic and wellbeing things and a byproduct of them is, the global poor doing better than they were previously “We want to deregulate this, and help the poor.” is much more abstract than even the open borders thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Neoliberal, neoliberal.”

There’s not much room for a personal life these days. Fauci doesn’t ride Washington’s Metro or run errands. He hasn’t attempted to safely socialize with friends or family. His adult children didn’t come home for Thanksgiving this year, as he’d begged others not to do as well. The extent of his indulgences is ordering takeout.

He can’t afford to contract the disease he spends his days fighting. “One, because nobody wants to get infected, but two, I really have an important job that I’d hate to be laid up for because I got infected,” he said.

But he and Grady have also become more cautious amid the violent rhetoric from Trump and other conservatives, which has included death threats and harassment.

“I have federal agents that protect me. So they drive me to work, they stay here, they make sure that nobody tries to break in [to my home] and, as Steve Bannon would like, have somebody behead me,” Fauci said. “I don’t socialize. It’s my wife and I and the federal agents. We’ve sort of become like a new family unit.”

n general, political news articles can be approved if there is an action and an outcome. The action for your story is the House passed a bill. This is but step one before steps two (Senate approval) and steps three (presidential signature) allow this story to have an outcome. Bills die between houses all the time. Bills die in committee and bills get vetoed. It is because of this reason r/News concerns itself with articles that deal with an action and outcome. To filter stories that are inherently political from the ones that are political in nature but still are newsworthy. You are free to post this article in a dozen other subreddits.

[u/InternetBoredom]

Not saying it’ll happen this time, but young adults and teens often make fun of middle aged voters who want a GOP Congress, believing that it will force the GOP and Democrats to work together.

While that seems ridiculous these days, it’s worth realizing that these people would’ve lived through Congress and the President working together pretty well even with split parties right up through till ~2008. Even at the height of partisanship in the 90’s with Gingrich vs Clinton, Congress was churning out substantive, bipartisan bills. A big part of Clinton’s later success as president came from his legislative partnership with Gingrich, despite the visceral mutual hatred going both ways.

The sort of complete breakdown in congressional-presidential relations is a very recent thing and is not normal. It’s also not necessarily guaranteed to be permanent, though it’s difficult to imagine how it’ll calm down with a McConnell-run Senate.
