    certainly there are lots of smart mofos in Cali...
    but this doesn't surprise me...
    My closest friend works in LAUSD...
    She says that the high school across from her middle school had a 50% drop out rate in Grade 9...
    50%!!!!!
    That's insane...
     
  3. Who needs an education when guaranteed income is right around the corner. Everyone can pursue all of their creative artistic dreams. I can only imagine what will pass for art and music in the future.

    Yup, by 0.25% and all the estimates go down to a single human in precision, e.g. voting age population of "253,768,092" (lol, what?). Which makes me wonder what their sampling error is in real life - I am sure it's on the web site somewhere. For example, I did not participate in the census despite getting the forms, how does that effect the estimates?

    Okay. Precision is preferable.

    But... if we had more accurate data perhaps we would find significantly more of the under educated in CA did not fill out the census?
