Columns of Post Tables

The table above has these entries. Post entries with just one line for Reach were not boosted. Boosted posts have two lines for Reach and several other items. The upper line reflects all interactions, the bottom line just those resulting from paid ads.

• "Title" is either a link to the actual Facebook post, or a link to a plain-text version of that post, which also has the URL of the actual Facebook post.
• "Post/Boost" contains the start date of post and end date of boost.
• "Reach" is the number of views of the post.
• "Like" includes all the emoticon responses: Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry. For boosted posts, the lower Like is the number of Page Likes generated by the post.

  For the emoticon table only, Love Haha Wow Sad Angry are listed separately.

• "Comments" is the number of comments on the post.
• "Shares" is the number of shares of the post.
• "Clicks" is the number of clicks on links cited in the post.
• "Hide" is the number of negative "Hide Post" responses.
• "Hide All" is the number of negative "Hide All Posts" responses.
• "Cost" For boosted posts is the price in cents paid per click - lower is better.

Some things never change...

1896: "There are two ideas of government.  There are
those who believe that, if you will only legislate to
make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak
through on those below.  The Democratic idea, however, has
been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous,
their prosperity will find its way up through every class
which rests upon them.  ...  You shall not press down
upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall
not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."

2017: Bimetallism has lost its political punch but now we
have "tax reform" today and "entitlement
reform" tomorrow, or maybe the day after the 2018
election:

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity...

One of the ideas that might astonish one in freshman
political science is that a lot of democratic
political conflict turned out to be between liberty
and equality... society needs both, but in balance,
and there's a lot of difference of opinion about where
the right balance lies.  You can find a lot of books
on Amazon and a lot of websites that discuss the issue.
Indeed economic liberty might be the big-tent principle
that unites Republicans, and economic justice for
Democrats, including all the ramifications from these
basic principles.       More on this at
