On what evidence do you support that theory?
What evidence do you have to disprove it?
Evidence can’t prove a negative.
I have no idea what today’s economy would look like under Harris, but I’m not the one making a claim.
Would you be coming after me this hard if I said that I bet the jaguars will win the super bowl next year?
I’m not sure a simple “what is your evidence” is coming at you hard. But okay…
if you said that I would see they have a very good record right now (evidence) and wouldn’t wonder why you are saying that.
If you claimed the Titans were going to win, I would indeed wonder and ask for your reasoning.
Have the jaguars ever played a super bowl?
They’re 10-4, first in their division, 3rd in the AFC. They’re not my first choice to win the Super Bowl, but I wouldn’t bet against them either.
But have they played in the super bowl?
No, but that alone doesn’t affect if they will be in the future.
They are also different people each year.
The Cowboys have played in almost as many super bowls as any team, but if you bet on them to win this year you should have your head examined.
Can you prove that?
Can I prove what?
That Harris wouldn’t have had the highest unemployment rate in forty years.
Again, you can’t prove a negative. And the burden of proof (or at least credible evidence for) is on the person making the claim.
You’re making the claim. Back it up.
That’s like me saying I bet the jaguars will win the next super bowl and you telling me to back up my claim.
You’re stuck in a loop here.
I wouldn’t ask you to back up your claim because the Jags are doing well.
Honestly I’m confused abut what we’re even talking about anymore.
Go Cowboys?
