Vermont's black to white ratio number lol

Vermont is also the whitest state in the country. There's all of like 10 black people in the whole state. If one is imprisoned, that's like 10% of the population lol

Also hyperbole obv, but the state actually is the whitest, I believe it's like 97% white? And then all other races share that last 3-ish percent.

Source: my experience as a mixed race (B+W) person traveling in Vermont.

For me the story is quite simple, there were failure of few big banks with big value of assets and then in next years followed with failures of many smaller banks. I am not expert for this area, it could be that banks are closely connected or failure of big banks led to lower trust in banks generally and this led to money outflow which finally caused banks failures. No we see similar failure of big banks and my question is if it is probable that similar pattern will follow...

dataisdepressing, but I do appreciate an information-dense infographic.

I'll always share this site. If you take the time to go through it all it's depressing but very informative.

For people interested in a long video. He doesn't get into the modern for-profit-prison system really BUT this does get into how long this has been going on. How, post-civil war, prisons were used to keep black people in shackles (based on charges like "not having a job") and it never really stopped.

Note: Evaluations for service connection are performed by the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) not the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Folks in the VHA are the front line clinicians providing clinical care to Veterans. A service connection assessment by the VBA is explicitly NOT treatment, it is an eval to determine whether disability, injury, condition, etc is least as likely as not to be related to service. The clinical services provided by the VHA is an easy thing to crap on because who would disagree with the statement that we need to take care of Veterans. I work in addiction treatment in the VA and I wish civilians had the immediate and continuous access to addiction treatment that the Veterans at my VA are able to use. Sometimes it takes multiple 21 day residential intensive outpatient treatment episodes to achieve something that resembles recovery. It isn't perfect but a helluva lot better than private insurance (at least for MH and addiction treatment from my perspective).

Even the optimists are unsure, so they still give about 10% chance of bad effects (on average). Similarly for the pessimist.

The data actually works in the other way: the right is the raw data, and the left subdivision is based on that.
