Not quite 1000s in the US. Largest strike death count was possibly a bit over 100. There were 1000s of participants in that strike (battle of blair mountain), but not thousands of deaths. Ludlow was another infamous strike where mine owners killed workers, but it was a relatively small affair (still spooky to visit the massacre site though).
Not treason. Not giving aid and comfort to an enemy. If an overzealous prosecutor wanted to levy a treason charge, it'd be over bounty-gate and his push for russia to be put back in the g-7, not political speech.
If it was 10k votes:
70%-30% of 10k=4k votes. So 85%.
Edit: I was using the numbers in the post, not the actual numbers, for clarification.
Depends enormously on the industry. I work in power generation, and our safety standards are 1 major failure in 1 million cycles for standard operations. Depending on the application, it can be more or less then that, depending on the cycle time. If we are dealing with casing or exhaust temperatures, you just need to be broadly in the ballpark, if you are dealing with rotor blade clearance, you need things pretty much with microns, and failure rates absurdly near zero (Since nobody likes supersonic chunks of steel ripping buildings apart).

I will bet you $100 that no matter how hard progressives yell at Biden to support progressive policies he will not. Moderate Democrats are already yelling at party leaders that they need to push the left out of the party because progressives somehow caused moderate Democrats to lose their elections, not moderate Democrats themselves, even though progressive Democrats won their elections.

Here's a long list of all the moderate Democrats who lost who didn't support Medicare for All or defunding the police:Spanberger on the Dem caucus call: We lost races we shouldn’t have lost.
Defund police almost cost me my race bc of an attack ad.
Don’t say socialism ever again.
Need to get back to basics.

All I'm asking for is for Democrats to just grow a crumb of self awareness and responsibility and blame themselves when they lose their own elections, not progressives. If Joe Biden can be called a socialist and it sticks, literally any Democrat can be called a socialist and have it stick, it literally doesn't matter. Trying to kick the left out of the party because you think they're making you lose elections will not fix this.
I have to say, the timing of those vote tally drops was priceless.

The only 2 Democratic candidates that won in Florida were the only 2 Democratic candidates that supported the proposition to raise the minimum wage to $15, the rest rejected it at the behest of corporate donors and lost.

Judge orders further sweeps of Postal Service facilities for undelivered ballots
More details hereA federal judge ordered the Postal Service on Thursday to continue its sweep of mail facilities to check for undelivered ballots in states that have extended vote delivery deadlines, such as North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of Washington, D.C., ordered the sweeps to continue until the end of the day Friday to ensure that all the mailed ballots are counted. The order, the result of a lawsuit brought by voter advocacy groups, is intended to mitigate concerns that a number of ballots in the Postal Service's care potentially were not delivered.
Concern was raised Wednesday about ballots that were scanned into the Postal Service system but did not get outgoing scans. The agency said that in an attempt to deliver the ballots more quickly, it bypassed the outgoing delivery scan in some cases.
Mail employees would often pull the ballots from being processed so they could deliver them directly to boards of elections.
OMG last outstanding red county for georgia gave biden another net gain of 150 votes.
My favourite part of all this? Despite all the flailing by the supposed 'most powerful man in the world', the more powerful institution of the democratic process just keeps on plowing on, mostly calmly and orderly.
