I have a bag and in it are 100 coloured tokens. 90 are black and 10 are red. What percentage of tokens are red? 10 out of 100, which is 10%.
Now I pull two tokens at random. In my hand is 1 red token and 1 black token. I can say red tokens make up 50% of the tokens in my hand. But wait? How can the red tokens make up 50% of the tokens in my hand if they only make up 10% of all the tokens in the bag?
How can America have 25% of the world’s prison population of the entire country doesn’t make up even 10% of the world’s population?
Other countries don’t hold as many people in jail?
Damn u onto something
Well see, that’s kinda the point of the post.
We’re “the land of the free” but also the land of the most non-free people.
Non free people with the best Free speach laws
