I don't disagree with your overall point, but statistics like that are almost always heavily skewed because of high infant mortality rates

Which is exactly why I called my local election office, and I even mentioned it might have been because of the rain we were having, but I was told no, it wasnt the damp that caused it because they had confirmed with the factory that sent the ballots out that some had been sent out like that. They then told me to tape it and when I was hesitant because I had the same thought as you they told me they had checked several times with the registrar that taping them up was what to do. They said it was a known issue so it would be accepted.

A lot of the virginia ballots were mailed out with the return envelopes already sealed up. I called the election office and they said to cut them open and just seal them back with tape 🤣

Edit: to all the folks concerned about my vote, thank you for your concern. I'm not too worried about it for several reasons. You can check online to see when your ballot is received and accepted, so I'll be doing that. If it isn't accepted in the next week or so I'll definitely be making some calls. Worse comes to worse, I can always go to my polling place on the day and get a provisional ballot in case something happens to my mail-in. I live in a pretty blue area so I have some trust in the local offices here; they've given no reason for me to be suspicious. Nonetheless I'll still be double checking.

I genuinely thought this was going to end with like "and then shove it up your ass!" or something

Could be as simple as journalists who know that no show or movie will get a sequel/second season without making money even if people really liked it, so they wore about the numbers to imply more will be made

That's very true and i figured I'd get downvoted for asking, it's just this election has me so nervous because it's still such a toss up and people equate any (even perceived) economic downturn as being the fault of the current administration. I just wanted to know if anyone here had any more insight on the dude.

At the end of the day it's all about the workers and i don't mind suffering small inconveniences if it gets the wiring class better lives.

Is this the same strike where the union leader is like friends with Trump? I've been feeling weird since I heard that because I'm all about workers striking but it seems like it might also be designed timing wise to make biden/harris look bad for the economy right before the election?

K. Nor do industry traditions invalidate my opinion.

News headlines aren't limited by space on physical paper anymore. If your headline is confusing because of traditions based on outdated limitations it's not a good headline imo.

I was more referencing this than trying to make a standalone analogy; my bad for just assuming people had seen it before.
