Not quite, stagflation requires both high inflation and unemployment which we did see concurrently during COVID.

But it also needs low or negative economic growth which again we did see during COVID but growth and employment have been up so we haven't had a long period of stagflation.

The final key thing that I don't think is technically required is that the fed can't lower rates to drive growth because inflation is too high hence the economy gets stuck. It feels like this could be where we are heading but haven't quite been in a prolonged enough period to qualify for yet.

I would like to say it's due to empathy... But I stopped flying United just because it's objectively the worst airline. Planes are cramped, tickets are expensive, cancellations have been an issue, treatment is atrocious. It's shouldn't be hard to vote with your wallet when literally any alternative is better

I don't think you understand statistics well enough to speak on this.

2016 Presidential Election – Predicted Clinton over Trump with 71.4%.

The above for example was showing outcomes of simulations. Many polls reported way higher outcomes for Clinton and he was one of the few models showing a trump outcome and Trump's path to victory was in the simulation results. This wasn't a fail but a success of his model

Like when you are told that in a coin flip, heads is the outcome 51% of the time and hear every coin flip will be heads

It is - it's a super affirmative position. It takes an extreme position within the sphere it's trying to criticize to make an exaggerated point to attack. It's literally a classic strawman.

Your follow up is in the same vein. Its empty rhetoric

These arguments are exactly why people hate vegans. It's nonsense.

Not only do you jump to an insane straw man. You showcase that you ignore a clear increasing contradiction around your world view and choose reactionary nothing.

If you care about life realize the harder question. If you care about the environment realize clear inefficiencues. Currently, you showcase nothing more than crude thoughtlessness.
