Numbers Like Vapor
By Mitch Berg
Monday, Governor Walz held a press conference about the dangers of e-cigarettes – the device that allows “vaping”.
During the press conference, more Minnesotans died from diseases related to smoking tobacco – From Match Minnesota government profits handsome Levi a tax collections – than have died throughout vaping’s entire history of the state.

I was going to make a trenchant observation but I’ve noticed that a certain troll scours the site to leave inane comments when I do, which is pointless and annoying behavior but a very Canadian thing to do, like putting gravy on french fries. Therefore, as a favor to other readers, I’m conducting an experiment: I will stop commenting for a few days to see if the troll will get bored and go elsewhere where inane comments are more in vogue, perhaps here:

Y’all can thank me later.

I’m sure this meant something rational in the original language in which it was written.

This has cracked me up for a while; with about 588,000 deaths from tobacco related illnesses per year, the sum total of vaping related deaths over the past decade is equal to the number of tobacco-related deaths every 15 minutes. We are talking about five orders of magnitude difference in the effect.

Lol jdm, I wondered the same thing.
Joe, I have stopped reading the trolls, not worth the time. And THE troll will comment whenever he thinks he can shoehorn in a rip on the president. If we all ignore him he might go away. I have wondered in this comment section before why trolls like that do what they do, but its sad and pathetic whatever the reason.

Thanks to a friend who has horrible hand-eye coordination, but still spent many years on the same chatroom as I, I am fluent in the mystical language of Typonese.
“From which Minnesota profits handsomely via tax collections”
Maybe eat your keto-friendly muffin after you dictate your morning’s posts, Mitch?
