Over the years, I\u2019ve had many different social media conversations with people who are leftists. Not political conversations (I avoid open social media discussion of politics with leftists), but rather many other topics. I have found a common pattern; they seem to have a remarkable lack of self-esteem, because they often seek only sympathy or praise, and they share an insatiable desire to be miserable. There is no desire to have a conversation or intellectual debate. Although there are many examples, I will limit myself to three (chronologically widely spaced) in this article.<\/p>

I should preface this with some background; I am a successful engineer who has designed and produced many different complex mechanical products (I have eight patents), whose product longevity ends up being typically longer than prior art. I credit that achievement with an innate understanding of statistical probabilities and the ability to exercise creativity in the industries where I\u2019ve applied it. I thrive on statistics not only in my professional\u00a0life but also my private life, which sometimes maddens my wife when we play board games, and I spend too much time examining probabilities.<\/p>\n

Story #1: When COVID hysteria was headlining social media, I followed much of the hype with great interest, hoping to learn as much as I could about this \u201cnovel\u201d virus from available data. While New York City was publicly hailed as the COVID \u201chot spot,\u201d I examined available data from CDC (as skewed as it was\u2026) and could not confirm it. But my leftist friends were apoplectic about the lack of support and sympathy for all those poor New Yorkers who were dropping dead in the streets. In some of their social media posts, I pointed out how there was an abundant lack of actual data to support that conclusion. Of course, I was criticized, ridiculed, and eventually blocked. Well, a little-known truth is that Trump did<\/em> come to the rescue by sending USNS Comfort<\/em> in March of 2020. It had 1,000 beds and nearly 1,300 personnel on board. Andrew Cuomo welcomed it while he braced for \u201ca tidal wave of coronavirus patients.\u201d In the one month it was there it treated — wait for it — 179 people.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>\nStory #2: There was a leftist candidate running for a local (small town) office post-COVID. He bragged about how he was \u201cdeployed\u201d on a COVID mission to a small town about 2,000 miles from here. He was not a doctor and indeed had no medical credentials whatsoever. Nobody knows why he was \u201cdeployed\u201d or who sent him when the destination he went to was far from being a \u201chot spot.\u201d Frankly, it reeks of a personal vacation disguised as a mission of compassion, like so many other leftists did during the lockdowns. Anyway, in his campaign, he bragged about his high level of fatigue from stuffing body bags in the intense heat from the staggering death toll and sitting with people who died alone in hospital rooms while he held their hand and their families had to wait outside. The outpouring of sympathy regarding his claims (without question) from his friends was quite disgusting, and I couldn\u2019t take it, so I called him out. First, why he (a non-medical person) was \u201cdeployed\u201d from one small town to another for three months for no apparent reason didn\u2019t make any sense; second, the death toll he claimed was many orders of magnitude higher and disproportionate than statistical average nationwide and third, the notion that he (a non-medical person), was allowed to be with people dying of COVID while family was locked outside also made zero sense. I was chastised by everyone sympathetic to his self-proclaimed heroism\u2026 and blocked.<\/p>\n

Story #3 A social media post recently showed up from a leftist friend where he grumbled about a package that took almost a month to arrive from Carrier A (a common ground-based shipping company). He went on to grumble about how the service from Carrier A was consistently poor. His sympathetic leftist friends predictably took it from there with their usual cries of sympathy and their own exaggerations about the poor service from Carrier A. Well, I have a business manufacturing products that I ship in volume all over the world. I do about $10,000 worth of business annually, exclusively with Carrier A, and have for about 20 years. In that time and many, many thousands of packages shipped mainly within the USA, but also to every continent on planet Earth, to residents and businesses, hospitals, hotels, apartments, and many other types of facilities, exactly zero packages have shown up damaged and only two were ever lost, with Carrier A confirming that they were stolen off the back of their truck in a parking lot so the claim was immediately honored. On the other hand, I used Carrier B (the other common ground-based carrier) for several years before switching to Carrier A because damaged, misshipped, and lost packages were common; typically, once per month. And they never once honored a claim; somehow, it was always my fault. Many incoming packages are still shipped today with Carrier B, and my experiences are similar\u2026 although a much smaller volume of incoming compared to outgoing, the incidents of damaged and lost packages remain statistically too significant to ignore. I shared my experiences with Carrier A with my friend, suggesting that although it\u2019s not impossible for a package to be mishandled, statistically, Carrier A is, overall, a stellar performer compared to other carriers because I have the receipts (in volume) to prove it. Again, since I was not entirely sympathetic in agreement with my friend, a reply demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of statistics. \u201cIt’s not about volume. If we as individuals order a package to be delivered by {Carrier A}, we deserve the same level of service as you<\/em>.\u201d I have no answer to that. I have not been blocked yet, but I\u2019m sure that\u2019s coming.<\/p>
