My point was the comparison between age groups is flawed. Nothing to do with cause.

Why?
Presumably because sites not available in the EU aren’t legally obligated to annoy everyone with cookie consent banners.
Why would a site available in the EU be obligated to annoy everyone with cookie consent banners. Many probably do, but it’s laziness on their part, but there’s no legal obligation to do so.

>that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” He's literally claiming that elderly are not dying at the same rates, based on his internal customer data
I think you’re misinterpreting his statement. He isn’t making a claim about elderly death rates. He’s saying the pandemic (both the disease and other effects) is affecting a younger, working cohort as well, based on their available data.
I am saying that comparison is wrong, because he is missing data for the age group that he is comparing against.

They aren't legally obligated to track people with cookies either. It's always their own choice.
But they have a cookie consent banner regardless of whether they are tracking people of not.

Are we reading the same sentence?
So how do you interpret it? My interpretation is that this guy runs an insurance company who insures working age people through their employers. That is the source of the data, so he is missing data on elderly people Yet he makes a claim that the people he does not have data on are dying at a lower rate than the people he does have data on. This makes no sense, as you can't make a comparison when you simply don't hav…
Can you share the quote from the article that you're referring to? Not saying it's not there, but I'm just not finding it.

Why?
To send a signal to the EU that US based web sites wish to continue to steal their users' PII and sell it to whomever they wish, without users having to give their consent, because that's how you make money when you don't have good, quality product.
This would be a good argument but for the fact that everyone just clicks OK anyway.

#67I wonder what the fentanyl factor is.
Fentanyl, P2P meth, and the world being turned upside down all at the same time was really a bad combo.
> P2P meth
For those confused by the P2P acronym as I was, it's apparently a synthesis route that was developed in response to the crackdowns on OTC ephedrine products. It's apparently a lot more pure than the older stuff, at least according to https://dynomight.net/p2p-meth/

IANAL, but I doubt that sites not available in the EU are legally obligated to annoy non-EU visitors with cookie consent banners? Of course, it's easier to annoy everyone, but if you can block EU visitors based on their IP you can also show the cookie consent banner only for these IPs?

I have it quoted in multiple comments here, including my top comment. Here it is again:
>Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.
Here is the specific part I take issue with:

#70Just for background and not trying to malign the source, but the was at a press conference where the Chamber of Commerce and hospital leaders were imploring state residents to get vaccinated as to avoid a vaccine mandate that the state legislature was considering for employers
Feels like the insurance guy at this press conference is trying to 'scare' young folks into getting the vaccine.
My question is, the life insurance company would see all the death certificates, if they don't say Covid, what do they say?
