  • No, modern polling is mostly useless. The respondents skew heavily in one direction (old people that answer the phone).

    There is no sample size big enough to account for a complete cultural shift away from answering phone calls and text messages from people you don’t know.

    Most polls report a response rate of about 90%, as reported by a PEW analysis of available studies. However, that is a made up number which does not account for attrition (quitters) or non-response to panel recruitment (no answers). If you include those numbers the real response rate is about 3%. Which means between the initial contact and giving their opinion 97% of people asked don’t participate in a given poll.



  • In the mid-90s my dad bought a Compaq Presario and the LucasArts games multi-pack. X-Wing, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, and Indiana Jones. Amazing. I was like a God.

    I also remember playing a game called The Neverhood, which was a claymation liminal space game. Gave me nightmares of being trapped there, but it was still one of my favorites.









  • So your plan to fix capitalism is to do nothing?

    How exactly does preventing the working class technicians from working fix capitalism?

    Yes it is you with a poor grasp of what this software is for.

    Ok? I know what techs and service writers use CDK for, I was one for many years. I used CDK and ERA/Reynolds.

    Hint: if it’s not for selling cars then how does it affect poor people the most?

    By preventing techs from working and service writers from writing, they can’t even order parts to fix cars. And it’s not just dealerships that use this software, that’s a pretty ignorant and classist assumption to make about a huge segment of the working class population.

    Despite your insane ramblings you’ve yet to explain how so I’m waiting to hear whatever excuse you pull from your ass.

    Ok.
