If you didn't allege it, then what's your point? So you agree that the Biden Administration isn't responsible? If so, I guess we agree.

Now that's the case. But cumulatively. What most people don't know is that most of the world calculates inflation differently from the US. Basically, they don't take housing prices into account. They way the US calculates housing costs is to use a proxy. Basically, it's an estimate of what it would cost to rent a house were it to be put on the rental market. It considerably inflates the level of inflation compared to the EU. Here's what the EU CPI using Harmonized Inflation Index looks like since from January 1, 2021 though May 2024 (the last month for which data was available) https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CP0000EZ19M086NEST Here's what US CPI would look like if it were calculated using the Harmonized Index https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CP0000USM086NEST Virtually the same level of CPI inflation in both the EU and the USA

I'm not going to read every post here but all the ones I've read seem to ignore that fact that this is about PREMIUM EVs. Not all EVs. Which is why BMW is featured in the article. The article also notes that the sales of Premium ICE vehicles has also fallen. Can most Thais afford to buy Premium vehicles whether EVs or ICE. This doesn't seem like a very important story.

Is this why the Biden administration imposed increased taxes on those elites in order to make health insurance affordable to those out of work or in low paying jobs? Biden Signs Expansive Health, Climate and Tax Law President Biden on Tuesday signed a long-awaited bill meant to reduce health costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and raise taxes on corporations and wealthy investors, capping more than a year of on-again, off-again negotiations and cementing his early economic legacy. https://archive.ph/D8vFe

Your comment about inflation is utterly irrelevant to your allegation that the Biden administration was responsible for high inflation in the USA. You continue to ignore the fact that high inflation affected most of the world's economy. The one big exception is China. And that's because their economy is mostly in worse shape thanks to the expansion of state control of the economy.

Now they do. What are the cumulative totals since the end of the pandemic? And what is their level of unemployment? What about cumulative GDP growth?

For employment to rise to 3.5% it had to get down there in the first place. And, historically, unemployment levels below 5 percent has always been considered to be excellent. Thanks for the G20 factoid. There are some huge problem with that. The G20 is composed of economically fully developed nations and developing nations. Well managed economically developing nations typically have a much higher growth rate than fully developed nations. FYI, that goes for the Trump years, too. If you take them out the picture looks quite different. Also, your numbers are apparently for the first quarter of 2024. They take no account of total growth since the end of the pandemic. https://web-archive.oecd.org/temp/2024-06-12/677570-g20-gdp-growth-first-quarter-2024-oecd.htm

Pavlovian triggers for right wingers in denial of the fact that allegations concerning these points have all been shot down.

What don't you understand about the fact that just because all the alleged evidence produced by the House Subcommittee assigned to the investigation ended up coming with nothing. Don't you understand that absence of evidence is actually proof of guilt?

You've fixated on the wrong word, Actually it was but but but... most of the world's economies. How was Biden responsible for inflation in most of the rest of the world?

Is inflation the only index of how an economy is doing? What about employment levels? How about GDP growth. And while the UK may have a lower inflation rate now, that's only recently the case.

One huge fact you're overlooking. High inflation was widespread following covid in most of the world's economies. How was Biden, or for that matter, Harris responsible for that? The fact is that the US economy recovered a lot faster than other major world economies.

What I liked most about your post was the wealth of evidence linked to credible sources that you provided. Because if you had just provided unbacked assertions that would just be pointless and...oh wait a minute Anyway, FYI, the extraordinary power of greenhouse gasses has been known since the 19th century thanks to the work of Eunice Foote and especially John Tindall, the great Irish physicist. "It was 150 years ago that John Tyndall, external, one of history's truly great physicists, published a scientific paper with the far-from-snappy title On the Absorption and Radiation of Heat by Gases and Vapours, and on the Physical Connexion of Radiation, Absorption, and Conduction. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-15093234 Part of his experimentation included the construction of the first ratio spectrophotometer, which he used to measure the absorptive powers of gases such as water vapor, "carbonic acid" (now known as carbon dioxide), ozone, and hydrocarbons. Among his most important discoveries were the vast differences in the abilities of "perfectly colorless and invisible gases and vapors" to absorb and transmit radiant heat. He noted that oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen are almost transparent to radiant heat while other gases are quite opaque. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Tyndall And the fact is that most algorithm, created in the 1970's by scientists, that have been proven to be astonishingly accurate. https://phys.org/news/2019-12-climate-theyre-remarkably-good.html#:~:text=After years of hearing critics,indistinguishable from what actually occurred." That even goes for research of scientists working for Exxon In “Assessing ExxonMobil’s Global Warming Projections,” researchers from Harvard and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research show for the first time the accuracy of previously unreported forecasts created by company scientists from 1977 through 2003. The Harvard team discovered that Exxon researchers created a series of remarkably reliable models and analyses projecting global warming from carbon dioxide emissions over the coming decades. Specifically, Exxon projected that fossil fuel emissions would lead to 0.20 degrees Celsius of global warming per decade, with a margin of error of 0.04 degrees — a trend that has been proven largely accurate. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/01/harvard-led-analysis-finds-exxonmobil-internal-research-accurately-predicted-climate-change/#:~:text=Specifically%2C Exxon projected that fossil,has been proven largely accurate. Not surprisingly EXXON suppressed it. The problem with the explanation that CO2 levels are only the result of natural processes and not the cause is that there was a sharp spike in CO2 levels starting in the 1970s. This was accompanied by a sharp spike in temperatures which is continuing. That spike was generated by human activity.

Really? Is he responsible for the high inflation that afflicted most of the world also? Reasonable people would understand to look elsewhere. Obviously supply chain disruption was a huge Factor.

More bad polling news for Trump Donald Trump at Risk of Losing Florida, Poll Suggests The USA Today/Suffolk University/WSVN-TV survey conducted between August 7 and August 11 reveals that Florida may not be an easy win for Trump. The former president leads his opponent by only 5 points with 47 percent to Vice President Kamala Harris's 42 percent, in the poll. His current lead is smaller than all polls have shown since July 10 and is also within the survey's margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-risk-losing-florida-presidential-election-kamala-harris-1938497

Truly a bizarre reply. You clearly don't understand the business model of news sites work. You're right that conservatives calling out lefties, lying or otherwise, means little to lefties., Ya think that's who Fox and other conservative web sites care about - people who ignore them? They make their money by reports that draw in their target audience. Whose eyes do you think a conservative website is trying to attract? Do I really need to explain that to you?

Actually, it's more like the left is having a shooting party. And the targets are fish in a barrel.

And if they get it wrong, we can expect others to call them out on it with specific counter-evidence. You know, like the folks at Fox news who have plenty of motivation to bag a few legitimate gotchas at the expense of the NY Times. And enough with your nonsense about it being my responsibility to link to the interview. You must have a very low opinion of the capabilities of the members here if you think that they can't figure that out for themselves.

What don't you understand about the fact that Nancy Pelosi is no longer the Speaker of the House? That means she doesn't have the authority to even bring up such a bill for authorization. And what makes your comment even worse is that the VP can't go around the President to advocate for a bill. Even if Pelosi was still the Speaker, the first thing that would be checked was if the President was behind it. And, of course, no rational VP would even try to pull such a stunt. But an irrational person who clearly not only doesn't understand the American political system, but doesn't understand that they don't understand it, might thin that this was a feasible plan. Lerner did not apologize for personally targeting anybody. And as noted, it wasn't only conservatives who were targeted. It was also progressives. In fact, the only groups to have their exemptions taken away were progressive groups. So where exactly is the evidence of political persecution.

Sure. Technical issues.

I guess we can all celebrate! Inflation rises 2.9% in July, less than expected https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/cpi-inflation-july-2024

Fact checking pieces are not opinion pieces. If you or others think the fact checking is incorrect, then link to a source the contradicts those facts instead of labeling them opinions. But when someone claims that rising seas are actually going to create more beachfront land, it doesn't seem unreasonable to question their grasp of reality. And our people really so clueless here that they can't find a link to the interview? Or are members of aseannow.com so new to the internet that they don't understand how search engines work?

No. There are plenty of other venues. But the New York times has a lot at stake when it makes such claims. Because it knows that right wingers will jump at the chance to prove it wrong. Can you prove their claims wrong? You got a credible source that says differently? I think that what you've really got is nothing.
