[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Slipping" to 20 out of 3,244 counties is not worthy of a 30 page thread.[/quote]

If the US slipped from #1 to #20 in HHI over a 30 year period people would be writing op ed columns every day comparing it to the fall of Rome. [/quote]

It’s still like the 99.4th percentile so if there are 200 countries in the world it’d be like slipping from 1 to 1. [/quote]

This is serious cope. Imagine if the country slipped from 1 to 20 in Trump’s term. Would you reason it all away with this percentile argument? Please be honest with yourself. By this rationale if Maryland schools slipped to 49/50 they’d still be good because compare to the rest of the jurisdictions in the world they’d be in the top 99%. [/quote]

You don’t seem to understand basic math.  Moving 49 places out of 50 is the entire scale— it’s like going from A to Z. Moving 20 places out 3,000 is virtually indistinguishable, it’s margin of error in measurement stuff.  [/quote]

You don’t seem to have basic reading comprehension skills. The point is in the context of every jurisdiction in the entire WORLD (uppercased because you have trouble with reading comprehension as noted before), falling to 49/50 states isn’t notable either.

What you are doing is adjusting the goalposts for rhetorical aims, and these goalposts wouldn’t be moved if America went from 1-20 in a similar metric under Trump. You know that and I know that.

Does Elrich pay you by the hour for this?[/quote]
