The big loser is us, the people of Earth.

When people tell me 'you have to listen to the voters! the voters are never wrong!' these are the kind of stats I think of.
“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”
The results were hilarious.
Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%
The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”
