  1. Er - Biden had the stock market at record levels, and unemployment at record lows. Trump's trade war with China in his last term was a disaster for American farmers, who lost one of their biggest markets when China retaliated. IIRC it was an interview with Bob Woodward where Trump admitted he has downplayed the COVID pandemic in favor of the economy. At 1.1 million deaths, America had the highest number of deaths from COVID in the world. Excluding China, who doesn't publish any data. The first available vaccines in Thailand were Sinovac and AZ, American vaccines came later with a hefty price tag for the average Thai. A better question to ask is why Americans like Trump. It does say something about their character.
  2. It's RFK jr, and putting a recovered heroin addict plus anti-fluoride/anti-vaxxer as health czar does not give me high hopes of America's future financial, mental, physical and dental health. IMO history would repeat itself, with a new batch of carpetbaggers. Any benefit to the Greenlanders would be transitory.
  3. I apologize for offending you with facts. If the SHTF, an American passport would be last on my list. IMO the one most likely to provoke extreme reactions.
  4. Hardly. The USA runs ninth, along with Estonia, according to the Henley passport index. Singapore is first.
  5. In America's dog-eat-dog economic system, how long do you think that million would last?
  6. I see, you are too lazy to do a bit of research. Here, I'll help you: "Coprophagy is the scientific term for eating feces. It can refer to eating one's own feces, or the feces of another animal or species. The word comes from the Greek words kópros ("feces") and phageîn ("to eat")." Australians punch well above their weight in medical research and science generally. The black box recorder on every aircraft was invented by an Australian. The label of intellectual is usually applied by non-intellectuals, as a form of reverse snobbery.
  7. AFAIK the only thing wrong with me is having the temerity to post facts, data and opinions, which offend a tribe of posters who hate having their delusions exposed.
  8. It would take a lot more than a measly million to get me into the American health and education system. What makes you think Greenlanders will want to give up their self-governing status?
  9. The art of comparison is not part of your education, obviously. I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.
  10. The real problem is the inequity gap between rich and poor, which has now expanded to cover the average person. That gap gets bigger every day. The average person is the most heavily taxed in most countries. The really rich pay teams of tax accountants and lawyers to minimize their taxes. There are any number of strategies, legal and illegal. Governments seem powerless to stop the march of oligarchy. I don't blame young people for getting angry, I had far more opportunity than they ever will, unless there is a revolution.
  11. I agree, it would be a sad existence if what you are asserting is true. There is a difference between getting angry , and not suffering fools gladly. As for banging out hatred, what did you just post? I trust you continue to enjoy my posts, IMO they are much more creative than yours.
  12. Did you fail English comprehension?
  13. Any funding for my degree was paid for by myself. The EV you are so proud of would not be possible without scientists and engineers. Thanks to science, you probably have a longer life expectancy, although it seems to be wasted on you.
  14. Russia became a pariah nation when it invaded Ukraine. Its only allies are Iran and North Korea. China is lukewarm. If the US takes Greenland by force, how is it any different to Russia? What people with more than two brain cells would want to be part of the American health and education system?
  15. I only insult people who have insulted me first. In your case, you insult my intelligence. I regret I cannot reciprocate.
  16. Really? The coprophagocytes are posting early this morning.
  17. Please tell us all about your own scientific qualifications.
  18. Goodness me, three posts in response to one of mine. Who is living rent-free in your head?
  19. Lies and lying are now accepted behavior from political leaders. Who remembers when John Profumo was forced to resign from the British ministry for lying to Parliament in 1963? How likely is that now? The response to facts on the internet is ad hominem attacks. Or assertions without evidence, which can be dismissed without evidence. Freedom of speech on the internet has resulted in some influencers being able to disseminate misinformation and hate, with no checks on them. Governments should do something about it? They are among the worst offenders.
  20. I'm sorry, Christmas has come and gone. Otherwise, I could buy you a sense of humor.
  21. Common decency says you don't open your fat gob to assign blame to whoever you fancy, for political purposes, when the bodies of the victims are not even cold. Trump has no decency, neither do some of the posters on this thread.
  22. Old, yes. Wrinkly, yes. Sagging, no. How many lemons did you suck before posting?
  23. I am too busy admiring my pecs and abs to be watching others.
  24. Don't be such a Cheap Charlie. Take a songthaew.
