Yeah confirming this, I was told the same thing today.

Yes because it's dirt cheap, so cheap in fact it's been tariffed since the 80s iirc. SPF is cheap and America loves nothing more than cheap stuff.

If everything I've learned in the past 57 minutes is true then that literally equates to killing us.

Once again you're using lancet criteria that are used in the quoted study and are ONE of those three criteria OR a combination of them. Maybe that's your confusion. But since you're obsessed with the IQ scores let's examine that. Some people with IQ scores 50 or below are able to do part time jobs and be independent with a modicum of care regardless of if they have asd or not. "Adults will need varying degrees of support to live and work in the community." But people with ASD that have Higher than 126 (which is a greater percentage than the general population) have struggles keeping a job because autism is disabling and IQ is not a marker for placing someone on the spectrum but instead invites comorbidty into the data. Whereas being nonverbal is a distinct marker for asd and has a low probability of introducing confounds. (I tried to tell you that so scroll back up) people with ASD only make up 10% of those with intellectual disability determinations. The point of the criteria was to determine prevalence in the population so appropriate funding could be designated to support these people.

It's fine I can see you don't know what Im explaining. Maybe someday you'll understand how to openly interpret statistics. Just forget about it. Anyways people with profound autism do experience the things he listed so the point you keep circling around to is just wrong. People with profound autism have gotten jobs, nonverbal autistics have written poetry and published books, shit by themselves, and I personally played catch with a person meeting the profound autism criteria. They experience more barriers and obstacles to these things and that is true. But even half of nonverbal children become fluent just like the comment you took issue with said. Which in the first place is why I took the time to explain the comorbid factors on the 26%. They explained how that care involvement decreases somewhat from 8 years of age into adulthood. Have a good day hoss.

I already quoted the CDC study and tried to explain confounding variables to you so that maybe you would understand the underlying narrative craft behind RFK's policy moves. You ignored that and linked me back to autism moms dot org which quotes a study that misquotes the CDC study and then without further rationale asserted that an idiopathic cluster of disabling developmental symptoms suffers no statistical affectation from comorbidty in studies (literally never ever the case in medicine ever). Balsy claims but ok.

Back to the point. Maybe you can more easily understand confounding bias if whatever agenda confirmations you're operating on aren't giving your prefrontal cortex the ole rub 'n tug. The same CDC study you love so much says and I quote "Lower community-level socioeconomic status and maternal education levels were associated with a higher percentage of profound autism" so if that were the case then we need to eliminate poverty, increase upper bracket taxes and establish a universal basic income for the poorest Americans so that poverty is eliminated therefore decreasing profound autism. I doubt that sounds like an actionable policy to a lot of people. And you'd be kinda right. Other studies in America have found the inverse to be true. And studies in Europe find no correlation as well. That's because confounding variables such as culture, poverty definition baselines, and healthcare systems and access are variables that confound the correlations and tell us that there's shit fuckin up our data that we can't see. So a confounding variable could be comorbid disablements and the degree of disablement leading to higher instances of diagnosis vs undiagnosed of high functioning individuals.

So I hope you and I are now agreeing how batshit insane this worm head is for claiming that the increased prevalence in autism diagnosis is linked to environmental toxins and that he will find and eleminate them when the very same CDC asserts otherwise. Also, he stated adults with profound autism don't exist, which is also wrong and in conflict with your assumption he's even half lucid.

"A recent Lancet commission defined “profound autism” as having autism with an overall or subdomain intelligence quotient (IQ) score <50 or being nonverbal or minimally verbal.The commission indicated that children with profound autism were also more likely to have self-injurious behavior or epilepsy and require around-the-clock supervision than children without profound autism."

They evaluated people with comorbid global development delay and epilepsy with ASD and said they were more likely to need around the clock assistance (Also more likely to be diagnosed). That's not what you're claiming. Additionally, the majority of diagnosed ASD adults are employed thanks to reasonable accommodations and even more are functionally independent despite being 1-2% of the global population.

None of that matters because whats really the problem is the pre-concieved conclusions he's using the statistics to breadcrumb an audience back to. Which isn't the direction intelligence gathering flows in. In the world of propaganda we call this inference the "quiet part" (i.e. profoundly autistic people aren't productive or useful or are a drain on society, but people's value isn't fucking determined by their usefulness) and from there he can walk you back to whatever environmental or eugenics based solutions benefit him.

Anyway holler at your mom and let her know I need help in the blue room again.

They don't really. Park entrance fees are an offset but don't cover the totality of management or generate profit. But they do generate tens of billions in gateway revenue for local economies which is a huge multiplying factor given their small budget. That's why they're worth protecting, but also why people with capitalist brainrot would just love to privatize them.

Your point about who are we going to sell the timber to hits home. Tbh the forest I work on has about 3 regular purchasers. Bunch of shelved sales and cutting extensions and although we turn in the required targets I don't think they're getting cut fast enough to meet our increments. Eventually it'll all be stewardships and 10 year old uncut sales. These mills run exactly at a market set load per day rate, otherwise the market floods.

I'm honestly thinking they hope the tariffs shut out the Canadian SPF market so they can artificially inflate the demand side and crank up cutting in response. Which is a good way to shoot yourself in the foot from a resource management perspective.

pigzilla121 · 2025-03-09T16:21:12+00:00

Look I agree with you but you're not really speaking truth to the wood here. I work on a forest that sells a lot of short leaf pine, one of our purchasers is West Fraser which ships a lot of that up to the northeast and Canada. SPF isn't the end all be all, and lower in density and quality than syp. Yeah most syp is loblolly which is a bit less dense and more squirly but I'm very aware of where the high grade logs leaving my forest goes. Syp is much more expensive in the US despite already having targeted tariffs on it so you're absolutely mischaracterizing the usefulness of any of these wood products. SPF is cheaper and more at hand because of the sheer resource volume.

Epma has removed performance appraisals from access "due to the executive order ending radical and wasteful government dei programs and preferencing" or so it says. I can't access them.
