[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently even Ted Cruz dislikes Herschel Walker since he sounds like he’s campaigning for Raphael Warnock at this rally 🙃

HW is hard to support. I voted for him but not because I wanted to. I did it for GOP control of the Senate. Warnock seems relatively benign but his campaign isnt really helping. I see/hear nothing about him despite living in a swing district, and when I looked him up on the internet, most of his campaign is 1) "I voted for the inflation reduction act" and 2) "I want to expand healthcare and cap the cost of insulin."

On the first point, this isnt compelling because he is making himself just a Dem seat instead of offering more. And, I'm not a fan of the IRA. Why is it a selling point that you doubled the size of the IRS? Just no, no.  [b]On the second point, it sounds good but also maybe we wouldnt need so much insulin if GA focused on reducing obesity.

Neither candidate is really great. If the GOP had chosen to run someone normal, like ANYONE NORMAL, it would have been a lock.  [/quote]

Oh my God this is the most ignorant statement I've read in a while. You do know that the VAST MAJORITY of people that need insulin are Type 1, which has no correlation to obesity, right? Yes, let's punish those people because we want to fat-shame. JFC Republicans do not need to be involved in making medical decisions. Fking infuriating.[/quote]
NP. If you’re going to call out someone else’s ignorance, make sure you’re not an idiot yourself.

You confused yourself with the statistics.

You see, although Type 2 diabetics are less likely to be insulin dependent than Type 1 diabetics, Type 2 nonetheless make up the vast, vast, vast majority of diabetics. As a result, Type 2 diabetics make up the majority of those who use insulin.

To give you an example with numbers. If 20% of people in Town A use insulin and only 5% of people in Town B use insulin, then the residents of Town A are more likely to be on insulin. If at the same time, however, they are only 100 people in Town A, but there are 1000 people in Town B, then 20 people in Town A are on insulin while 50 people in Town B are on insulin. Therefore, the people of Town B make up the majority of those who use insulin even though they are less likely to need insulin.

Confusing, right?

That’s why you should be careful before trotting out statistics when you don’t have a good command of the subject.

NP. The main difference, statistics aside, is that Type 1 diabetics will NEVER BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR DEPENDENCE ON INSULIN. No amount of lifestyle, diet, exercise, etc. will change the fact that without insulin, they will die. It’s why those comments are offensive regardless of whatever stat game you want to play. The cap is for those who need insulin TO LIVE. Not live better, but LIVE.[/quote]
