• The original table is the product of a record linkage process. All the ids are linked together. I know it's hard to spot but if you go through each row you can see how they all join together.

    To simplify the processing of the next stage I would like to pick the maximum I'd and and link all other records to it.

    Hope this makes sense.

    It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

    Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
