It's almost like the real reason that sub-Saharan Africa is low on "innovation" is because of years of colonialism and corruption and coups and famine and probably not because of religion

Considering which countries are where on the graph it seems to me like both of those things might be caused by poverty and inequality so the graph is inferring a causal link from a correlation.

But of course The Economist would rather blame religion.

In a Republican state one of the core goals is to make it as hard as possible to obtain or use government data.

"Smith! I want you to make a table in Excel showing which precinct goes with this data. "

"Errrrmmm.... Excel?"

"You said you were proficient in Office! Get to it!"

"........ Yes, sir....."

It's like all the PowerPoints where they either use "tab" to get the text off to the right, and/or use five different text boxes instead of one with paragraphs.

Make it look like what you want, even if you have to kludge it the most awkward way possible.

I believe so, and they have absolute power and report only to the Governor.

I knew someone who had a PBE for a while because while they had had all necessary shots, filling out the PBE form was easier than getting the proper documentation.

Probably anarchist communes vs mad max raiders. "True" anarchy means (in theory) no rules or coercion.
