And to make matters worse, we won't be able to trust the Census 2020 data 
*either* because they're cutting it off early:

All models are always wrong. Applying the population divisor, which is a wrong 
model, over the top of your wrong model (cases) produces an even more wrong, 
wrong model. But false models atop false models sure is USEFUL.

Which brings me to a post I thought about making last week: ad hominem *as* 
critical thinking. I may find the time to make that post if I'm lucky.
