MLK Jr said, ���The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Today is a setback, but the time of chaos & lies will not endure. We must be good people, manifest morality, & fight the rising tide of hate. The struggle for liberty & justice for all never ends.

Sharp Regression discontinuity (RD) only gives a causal treatment effect for a measure zero subset of the population (those at the cutoff). Fuzzy RD only gives a causal effect for compliers, an unknown subset of a measure zero subset of the population.
