What nonsense. Insurance rates are rising for coastal properties, For Many On Coast, Climate Crisis Means Rising Insurance Rates Risk Rating 2.0 does not include future sea-level rise projections, but it does incorporate data from the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Army Corps of Engineers, which, in practice, should make the rating system adaptive to future conditions. Premiums are based on the risk at present and will be re-evaluated annually “in order to respond if and when the nature of flood risk changes,” according to Norman. As flood risk increases or decreases in regions across the country, ratings and premiums will adjust. https://ecori.org/2021-9-27-for-many-on-the-coast-climate-crisis-means-rising-insurance-rates/ And maybe you know of property insurers who offer policies that last 20 or 30 years. I haven't seen any evidence of that. What's more, I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the USA flood insurance rates are heavily subsidized by the government: Government-subsidized flood insurance premiums are about half of full-risk price https://publicintegrity.org/environment/government-subsidized-flood-insurance-premiums-are-about-half-of-full-risk-price/

Well, can you please cite what scientific sources qualify as "leftist hysteria" The IPCC has warned of severe consequences if average global temperatures rise higher than 1.5 degrees centigrade above the pre-industrial revolution base. Is that what you call "leftist hysteria"?

As far as what I can find on the internet, there is a risk of the property causing erosion, but not that erosion has occurred yet. And like all such posts singling out such people, what does it matter what rich people do with their money? What's that got to do with science?

And where, in the scienitific literature including the IPCC reports is it claimed that human caused climate change is bringing about the end of the world? First off, what you didn't note was that rate of sea level rise is increasing. "And during this satellite period, 1993 to present, emerging indications suggest the mean (average) rate of global mean sea-level rise has increased – from about 0.1 inches (2.5 millimeters) to 0.13 inches (3.4 millimeters). Further measurements in coming years, by the Sentinel-6/Michael Freilich satellite, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, and others, will help establish the rate of increase more precisely." https://sealevel.nasa.gov/faq/8/is-the-rate-of-sea-level-rise-increasing/#:~:text=Yes.,(3.4 millimeters) per year. And you also don't take account of the increasing attrition of the Antarctic ice shelf which is still holding back massive glaciers that dwarf those of Greenland Volume loss from Antarctic ice shelves is accelerating Using 18 years of continuous satellite radar altimeter observations, we have computed decadal-scale changes in ice-shelf thickness around the Antarctic continent. Overall, average ice-shelf volume change accelerated from negligible loss at 25 ± 64 cubic kilometers per year for 1994–2003 to rapid loss of 310 ± 74 cubic kilometers per year for 2003–2012. West Antarctic losses increased by ~70% in the past decade, and earlier volume gain by East Antarctic ice shelves ceased. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaa0940

When someone write "There were rumors that..." or "I heard that" or "People are saying that" it doesn't exactly buttress my faith in the truth of what is being alleged.

I forgot to put a question mark at the end of the first sentence which changed the meaning by about 180 degrees. Here's how my comment should read This is true of the 4 annexed regions? Russia has claimed to annex them but what do the facts on the ground say?

Belief that Jesus is on his way is not evidence that he's on his way no matter how sure such people are whoo believe it. And statements like this from you: There's a lot more unknown information out here somewhere, I'm sure. aren't evidence no matter how sure you are in your belief And believe it or not, there are still tens of millions of American voters who believe the election was stolen despite the utter lack of evidence. Crazy huh?

And as repeatedly pointed out to you and apparently to no avail, so what? Why does video footage shot at at one time and location prove that someone didn't commit a crime recorded on video at another time and location?

This is true of the 4 annexed regions. Russia has claimed to annex them but what do the facts on the ground say?

So it's more drivel. Got it.

The costs of administering the Medicare program have remained low over the years – less than 2 percent of program expenditures https://www.kff.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/7731-03.pdf

Excess Administrative Costs Burden the U.S. Health Care System Even if all of, say Paul's allegations were valid, they would constitute about 1.5% of the 2019 pre-covid government budget. Much smaller if you use the 2020 covid budget as a basis which is what Paul's allegations refer to.

If so, by a god who wants to ensure Trump's defeat. How did election denialists fare in the 2022 election?

Unfortunately, some people make assertions without offering any facts to back them up.

You got any evidence to support your contention? Or is it just more drivel?

Why is it so difficult for human caused climate change denialists to understand the issue of rate of increase. If someone were to choose between two investments of equal soundness, but one offered a 1% return and the other offered a 10% return would you have difficulty choosing between the two? It's the current rate of change that is of concern, not simply the fact that the average temperatures of the atmosphere and oceans are rising.

It certainly is feasible. Veterans eligible for VA care can be treated abroad.

I must say, his healthcare program was by all accounts brilliant. It would provide better coverage and cost less. Well, by his account, actually. He claimed he had it just about ready to go before his inauguration. I guess he's still tinkering with it. In the meantime Obamacare, the program that Trump tried to destroy, has greatly reduced the number of uninsured in the USA. And 40 out of 50 states have adopted the Medicaid portion of the plan. That includes lots of red states. Only 10 red states remain that haven't done so. Go Trump!

I wasn't aware that Lindsey Graham was speaking for America.

Can you please be a little vaguer?

You're like a fundamentalist Christian who believes that Jesus is coming any day now. Who need evidence when you have faith or paranoia?

Because it would show how foreign workers without the proper authorization are abused? I agree.

First of all, this is about Medicare, not Social Security. And he said he wants to tax the wealthiest. I'm not sure why the line was drawn at $400,000 but if you're goal is to tax the wealthiest then you've got do draw the line somewhere.

Not only is it clear, but also utterly irrelevant

Thanks. I think we have an explanation for his motive, or rather, motives, in burying the body.
