No one has ever gotten ill from any imported food ever? Wow, you must have strong evidence to make such a strong claim!

Funny how, while I'm able to explain basic statistical concepts, you aren't able to. If I were actually wrong about confidence intervals, why are you consistently unable to explain why?
Do you actually fuck spaghetti?
Let me explain what a confidence interval is — i.e., the actual thing that you can determine from a 2% sample. I'm explaining this because you brought up confidence intervals when you said this, "It's there where they tell you about confidence intervals, sample selection and the central limit theorem", and because…
Well, that's the problem, actually. I've taken enough statistics courses to know that it doesn't suggest that a 2% sample will find 95% of all defects. A 2% sample, if executed properly, may well get you a reasonable confidence interval, but what does that have to do with anything? The purpose of food inspection is…
Just in case anyone thinks this is recent, FDA inspection budgets have been steadily cut over the past 15 years (that's right kids, since G.W. Bush). And the GOP has been leading the call for cuts and more cuts.
I'd love to hear the statistical explanation for how you can catch 95% of bad shipments by inspecting 2% of the total.
Way better to spend the treasury on foreign wars than to employ food inspectors to protect citizens at home.
They've been doing this shit for a lot longer than six years.
Pinkham! You've failed to grasp the beauty of self-regulation. You see, your average capitalist wants to ensure the quality of their goods so that people will come back and buy from them again. Why, there is no focus on short-term profits at the expense of quality. Nor do capitalists engage in cost benefit…
Our regulatory agencies are a joke. Congress doesn't like to fund them and has essentially removed their teeth- they rarely have the power to do their jobs. It's all because elections are funded by big business, and big business doesn't want to be regulated.
AARRGGGHHH! I hate all the people who are like "if you don't mean to be racist, then blackface isn't racist." Wrong. Just wrong. This may shock you, but your individual intention is irrelevant...what you think is not important. I know your mother told you otherwise, but it's true. The practice of blackface is too…
If you know you aren't being racist
Um, shut up, please. Thanks.
lol den its a gud costume baka XD
I'm a plus size lady who married a 6'1 300lb dude. We spent our wedding night in our new home (condo). I was like, "NO WAY you can lift me", which he took as a challenge, and carried me into our new home in my giant wedding dress. He totally made it, but like barely. He had to take a knee before we could make it…
Don't reach too far, you might pull a muscle.
Really not seeing how you got the idea that she trades herself/himself for drugs from that post. Unless you consider any gifts between friends to be payment for sex. In which case I owe a lot of people sex.
Eye-rolling can be very satisfying, so roll-away! Sorry your friend turned out to be an asshole. :(
