Manufacturing is one of the most interest-rate sensitive industries, as much as technology and financial services, so it’s not surprising to see the job losses there. – Sinem Buber	Found on CNN 1 year ago
So to see that DC had the highest morbidity was not surprising to me at all, we can’t deny the fact that there’s a huge racial disparity, and so I suspect that states that have higher populations of Black pregnant moms, who tend to have a higher risk of morbidity and mortality, are likely to have higher numbers of severe morbidity. – Zsakeba Henderson	Found on CNN 1 year ago
So you’ve doubled the mortality rate rate reduction by putting more stringent standards for marginalized communities, to me, that was surprising, how much more benefit you’re going to get. – Francesca Dominici	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Water ice is, at present, not stable at the very surface of Mars near the equator at these elevations, so, it’s not surprising that we’re not detecting any water ice at the surface. It is possible that all the glacier’s water ice has sublimated away by now. But there’s also a chance that some of it might still be protected at shallow depth under the sulfate salts. – Pascal Lee	Found on CNN 1 year ago
When insurance pays more, people build more health care facilities, hire more workers and treat more patients, everyone might be squeezed, but it’s not surprising that pediatric hospitals, which face [a] lower, more difficult payment environment in general, are going to find it especially hard. – Joshua Gottlieb	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The vaping industry has tried in vain for more than a decade to work with FDA on sensible manufacturing standards, only to be ignored while the agency recklessly vilified nicotine vaping. It is disappointing, but not at all surprising, that the FDA would wait to propose these regulations until it had already committed itself to banning 99.99 percent of the vaping market, the millions of Americans who rely on vaping to stay off cigarettes could benefit from the FDA’s proposal, but only if the agency stops thumbing its nose at its critics and starts to regulate the category in good faith. – Gregory Conley	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I find it very, very surprising, antisemitism has always been there, it’s either been just around the corner and slightly out of sight but always lurking, or it has been much more overt like in Germany in the ’30s. But not since Germany in the ‘30s have I witnessed antisemitism no longer lurking, but standing proud with hands on hips like Hitler and Mussolini, kind of daring us to defy it. I’ve never experienced this in my entire life, especially in this country. – Steven Spielberg	Found on CNN 1 year ago
There’s more than one way to make magenta with iridescence, the parent species each have their own way of making magenta, which is, I think, why you can have this nonlinear or surprising outcome when you mix together those two recipes for producing a feather color. – Field Museum senior research scientist	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Democrats are ending this session of Congress as they started it — by advancing partisan priorities and ignoring any issue inconvenient to their political narrative, they want to gaslight Americans into believing there is no crisis on the Southern border. They want to deny the reality of a looming debt crisis, mind-trick people into believing our supply chain issues are fixed, and preemptively thwart any attempt at legitimate Congressional oversight. Rather than find areas of bipartisan consensus, Democrats are instead prioritizing President Biden’s re-election prospects. This isn’t surprising, but it is disappointing. – Kevin Seifert	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
Congeners in bourbon … significantly increased hangover intensity, which is not too surprising since bourbon has about 37 times the amount of congeners as vodka. – John Brick	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I really appreciated the openness with which the agents expressed their views, a couple of guys might have expressed them what I felt was unprofessionally, which was surprising to me because it's something I've never seen in the Border Patrol in my … eight years of person-to-person exposure. – Alejandro Mayorkas	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
And I mean, with regard to the monument, it's not surprising because the champion of the monument in the Obama administration was Monica Medina, and she's married to Ron Klain, who's the White House chief of staff, so when we were fighting for those fisheries, we couldn't get any Democrats to stand up to the White House. Basically, they just told us that they had tried. They called [the Department of the Interior], they called the White House. They were essentially told that there was no way, because if Trump did it, it had to be bad, and so they were going to reverse what Trump did. No science, no study. One hour of communication with the entire… with all of the people who represent those commercial fisheries that were affected. – Bob Vanasse	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
It's not surprising — it's essentially the same old gang, these are the people who have been working on and failing on these issues for decades. – Myron Ebell	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
All kids experienced loss, whether loss of their normal lives, their family's livelihood or loved ones, it's not surprising that we are seeing kids retreat into the places where they do have control. – Eli Lebowitz	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I really appreciated the openness with which the agents expressed their views, a couple of guys might have expressed them what I felt was unprofessionally — which was surprising to me because it's something I've never seen in the Border Patrol in my… eight years of person-to-person exposure. – Alejandro Mayorkas	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
I don't think she'd be insulted but she reminded me of my mother, the look of her and just the generosity, she's extremely gracious, that's not surprising, but we had a great talk. – Joe Biden	Found on CNN 1 year ago

I think it's very important that folks realize that heavy alcohol use can significantly increase the risk of cancer, unfortunately, although this is not a new finding, this information would be very surprising to many. It is imperative that physicians inform patients of this risk and provide whatever tools are necessary to help patients modify this behavior. – William Dahut	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Cervical cancer is incredibly preventable with proper screening as well as access to vaccinations for the HPV virus, and so, to me, these findings were very surprising because I would have expected with the expansion of the Affordable Care Act and more and more women getting health insurance to see kind of the opposite findings of more people being able to get screened. – Alex Francoeur	Found on CNN 1 year ago
While Michelle Vallejo’s comments denying the existence of the border crisis are reprehensible, they’re not surprising, vallejo knows that she must pretend the Biden Border Crisis doesn’t exist to stay in the good graces of her liberal donors and her party’s radical leadership. – De La Cruz	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
It seemed surprising to me that there was no central location where anyone was keeping track of gun violence as it happened. – Dan Kois	Found on CNN 1 year ago
