As the article points out, the Left has an appalling lack of sense when it comes to numbers.

Joe Biden said that 120 million American have died from COVID. Those words came out of his month and he didn't catch himself to say, "Whoa, that can't be right …"

There was a newscaster a few months ago who said something like Michael Bloomberg spent $300M on his presidential run -- which is basically a million dollars per voter. Those words came out of his month and he didn't catch himself to say, "Whoa, that can't be right …"

this article contains this:
One study suggests that two-thirds of Americans between the ages of fifteen and thirty-four who were treated in emergency rooms suffered from injuries inflicted by police and security guards

They said that and they can’t catch themselves to say “Whoa, that can’t be right …”

They just “say stuff”. If it sort of sounds good, they run with it. Because they have a Narrative to sell.

She should read Time on the Cross by Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman. Their Nobel Prize research in the field of cliometrics discusses the economic well being of pre- and post-bellum slaves. Their work is in two parts: A popular narrative describing their findings and a second book that probably only us cliometricians read. Their conclusion is that slaves were economically better off before the war than after.

Dr. Fogel came to my university to speak on his book and opened it up for questions after his talk. A local black reported stood up and yelled: "You are a racists!" Dr. Fogel asked if he had read either volume. The reporter replied: "I don't have to read it to know you are a racists!".

At that point, a black lady in the front row stood up, turned around, and said: "Sit down and shut up, Sonny, you don't know what your talking about and I don't appreciate you calling my husband a racists!"

The reporter sat down...not a peep...
