   Sample snip of one of McMillan's sketches about the two-sidedness of #statistics.

   "Drawing different conclusions from the same data, Don's slide reads, "Statistics: the other side.
   When the lottery hit $1.6B, 146 million people bought tickets.
   In the 2016 Prez election, 136 million people voted (10M less).
   [Thus]
   To get more people to vote...
   Every election we should pick ONE voter to win $1.6B."
   I'd vote for that.☑️

     Rambling around YT for late-breaking news, YT's algorithm knows I like #comedy, so it shows me a guy named Don McMillan (new to me), a very funny #comic who uses #Powerpoint (I know right?) to get laughs.
     He gets laughs!
     Probably most appreciated by "Nerds, Geeks, or Dorks" or some combination thereof, like 'engineers', or something (he explains the differences with EXCELLENT charts & graphs). 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 https://youtu.be/kwz-Md6OoyA
