[ExI] Fwd: Just how deplorable are Trump supporters?

Tue Sep 13 18:02:26 UTC 2016

I try to understand the evolutionary psychology that lies under the
politics.

It's worth remembering how they sorted out the fraction of the population
to be killed in Cambodia, they were the ones who wore glasses.

Best wishes,

Keith

Donald Trump’s supporters: Easy targets

Hillary Clinton was criticised last week for saying that half of Mr Trump’s
supporters belong in a “basket of deplorables”. But how deplorable are
they? YouGov places 58% of Trump fans in the top quartile for “racial
resentment”, an indirect proxy for racism. And 51.8% would support a
constitutional amendment allowing states to ban gay marriage. But caution
is needed before declaring Mrs Clinton’s claim vindicated, writes our data
team

Drug prices: A record high
<http://link.economist.com/click/7612964.934885/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5lY29ub21pc3QuY29tL2Jsb2dzL2Vjb25vbWlzdC1leHBsYWlucy8yMDE2LzA5L2Vjb25vbWlzdC1leHBsYWlucy0yP2NpZDE9Y3VzdC9kZG5ldy9uL24vbi8yMDE2MDkxM24vb3duZWQvbi9uL253bC9uL24vTkEvZW1haWwmZXRlYXI9ZGFpbHlkaXNwYXRjaA/5356c0d5899249e1cca91d18Bf06eb992>
European governments control drug prices in various ways. In America firms
charge exorbitant amounts simply because they can. American companies set
whatever official price they like, and their biggest customer, Medicare, is
required to buy their products but prohibited from negotiating the cost. It
is unlikely that the system will change much, regardless of who becomes the
next president, writes our consumer goods correspondent

Live-streaming, or *zhibo*, is the latest internet craze to sweep China.
Hundreds of millions look on as young women film themselves flirting,
singing or dancing. But the connectivity that streamers enjoy unnerves
officials, who have scolded hosts for vulgar language. Officials have also
forced platforms to monitor and record content, ostensibly to prevent the
broadcast of porn. More probably, the state wants to discourage political
discussion

Until September 2015, TV Prima, a Czech television station, had been
presenting a mix of stories on the migrants. But then the station’s
management brazenly overrode editorial staff to dictate the coverage,
ordering journalists to portray the refugees as a danger. The tale is a
window into how public opinion in central Europe is shaped by politicians,
rich businessmen and the media groups they control, writes our central
Europe correspondent
