  1. Should have written "income inequality" for "income distribution".
  2. These kinds of predictions are always suspect.
  3. It's true that the German economy is currently shrinking a bit, and the UK economy is growing a bit but the German economy would have to shrink a lot to be equivalent on a per capita basis to the UK economy. And not just that, income distribution would have to increase a lot too.
  4. Why do you keep on repeating the falsehood that Viktor Shokin was a low ranking prosecutor? Victor Shokin was the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. That is equivalent to the position of Attorney General of the United States. Do you believe that the Attorney General of the United States is a low ranking prosecutor?
  5. Don't give yourself too much credit. All you have offered here are generalizations - nothing specific. Unless you care to be specific about what you're hinting at, why should anyone care about what you have posted here.
  6. Here's a link to definitive article that refutes the claims of the possible effects of DNA fragments in an RNA vaccine. Basically, there's no peer-reviewed research to back up this claim and plenty of evidence to contradict it. https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/claim-covid-19-mrna-vaccines-dna-contaminants-study-unknown-provenance-no-evidence-covid-19-mrna-vaccines-alter-dna-people/
  7. Not surprising that you'd come up with an empty, vacuous reply. What else could it be given that you've got nothing.
  8. Once again, you make an unflattering characterization of my words, but no actual analysis to back it up. It is to laugh.
  9. Really? A rebound year? So for what country was 2022 a rebound year? Was worldwide inflation the fault of the Biden administration? What happened in 2020 and 2021 that affected the world economy in 2022? Care to guess? Actually, the USA fared far better in 2022 than did other major developed nations. And better than most other developed nations. Inflation fell faster, unemployment was very low, and GDP grew at a healthy pace.
  10. GOP lawmakers in Wisconsin scheme to remove elections chief https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/29/a-wisconsin-election-official-has-bipartisan-support-she-may-be-driven-out-anyway-00113233 2 controversial votes at Wisconsin's state Capitol show GOP efforts to shape elections https://www.npr.org/2023/09/15/1199740670/wisconsin-election-battles-protasiewicz-wolfe-republicans North Carolina Republicans’ naked bid for more control over elections, explained The GOP-dominated state legislature wants more power over the 2024 contest. https://www.vox.com/politics/2023/9/25/23889465/north-carolina-republicans-elections
  11. The same magnanimous Trump who broke with a long tradition of attending the inauguration of his succecessor? The same Trump who new evidence shows was involved with creating slates of fake electors? The same Trump who pressured election officials to reverse the results of various state elections? The same Trump who refused to intervene after insurrectionists invaded the Capitol?
  12. 2020 being a trump year Gee. What happened that made 2020 a year of decline in the world economy? What happened that made 2021 more of the same? What prior major event affected most of the world's economies in 2022? Which major world economy performed the best in 2022? Why do so many right-wingers seem to suffer from amnesia?
  13. Got a link to that? "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." https://aseannow.com/forum/158-world-news/
  14. Sanger was with Wikipedia for its first year only. As I noted, Wikipedia provides plenty of footnotes to back up its reports.
  15. Wikipedia is a particularly strong source since it offers footnotes. But, apparently, there are lots of folks out there who don't understand what footnotes are or how they work.
  16. If you think they're not credible sources, you should take it up with the moderators.
  17. Actually, it should be very easy to figure out why those criteria were selected. It's not incumbent upon me to provide an explanation when one is offered by the article. The explanation in the article about why these criteria were chosen is accessible even to folks, who, unlike you, weren't STEM majors. For you, it should be a snap.
  18. "We conducted a literature search to identify papers published prior to the early-1990s that include climate model outputs containing both a time series of projected future GMST (with a minimum of two points in time) and future forcings (including both a publication date and future projected atmospheric CO2 concentrations, at a minimum)... The specific models projections evaluated were Manabe, 1970 (hereafter Ma70), Mitchell, 1970 (Mi70), Benson, 1970 (B70), Rasool & Schneider, 1971 (RS71), Sawyer, 1972 (S72), Broecker, 1975 (B75), Nordhaus, 1977 (N77), Schneider & Thompson, 1981 (ST81), Hansen et al., 1981 (H81), Hansen et al., 1988 (H88), and Manabe & Stouffer, 1993 (MS93). The energy balance model projections featured in the main text of the FAR, SAR, and TAR were examined, while the CMIP3 multimodel mean (and spread) was examined for the AR4 (multimodel means were not used as the primary IPCC projections featured in the main text prior to the AR4). Details about how each individual model projection was digitized and analyzed as well as assessments of individual models included in the first three IPCC reports can be found in the supporting information." https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2019GL085378
  19. I did just that. "He stated that any of the Republican candidates for the 2016 presidential election "would be an unmitigated disaster".[21] ... He has stated that the US Republican Party is "the most powerful, anti-science political movement in the world". He wrote that it was "not alarmist" to state that they "could destroy the world" since many "refuse to even acknowledge that climate change is happening", and stated that their "denialist attitude is due partly to the religious convictions".[23]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Boghossian
  20. Far more jobs, both temporary and permanent, are being created by Biden's infrastructure bill than would have been created by building the XL pipeline.
  21. The same old nonsense. If pre tax electric power is cheaper than pre tax gasoline, why wouldn't it cost less to use EVs.
  22. The problem with your claim is that Shokin wasn't investigating Burisma. Numerous subordinates testified to this. In fact, the wasn't seriously investigating any oligarchs. Instead, he was aggressively investigating and prosecuting anti-corruption groups in Ukraine. When 2 of his deputies were found to be in possession of inexplicably large amounts of cash and valuables, he punished the prosecutor who was investigating them. This is why the EU and the State Dept pushed for his dismissal. I think you should define "interfere". Is the USA giving 1 billion dollars to Ukraine interfering? Did the US not have a right to make sure the money was not spent corruptly? Most rational people would agree that this is a fair trade.
  23. Everyone? Actually, it's undertaxing that's the problem.
  24. I'm sure you wouldn't have offered that 7% if you didn't have facts to back that up. What's your source for that claim?
