  1. Unfortunately, that seems to be why Trump plucked him from Fox News. Nothing to do with his actual qualifications to run a huge department.
  2. Yes. 77 million out of 152 million is a majority. Thanks for the arithmetic lesson. Now back to reality: https://www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker/2024/electoral-college
  3. Trust you not to acknowledge that you got it wrong. And thanks for your ludicrous definition of what constitutes a landslide.
  4. You're missing the point. As far as food production is concerned it's not about biomass but about fertility of the soils. Soils in the temperate zones are the most fertile and the best resource for the production of most grains except for rice. And grains are what provide the bulk of calories for humans. Mollisol Mollisols are soils of grassland ecosystems, particularly in temperate regions, known for their dark, organic-rich mollic epipedon (surface horizon). These soils are highly fertile and are among the best agricultural soils globally. Key Characteristics: Dark, nutrient-rich surface layer, rich in organic matter and bases like calcium and magnesium. Found in grasslands, prairies, and steppe regions. Fertile, typically neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Agricultural Significance: Mollisols are highly productive soils, globally supporting major cereal crop production. Oxisols Oxisols are highly weathered soils dominated by iron and aluminium oxides, common in tropical and subtropical regions. Key Characteristics: Low nutrient reserves and high acidity. Poor fertility due to extensive leaching. Agricultural Significance: Sustainable use requires intensive management, such as lime application and nutrient replenishment. https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/research/soil-science-knowledge/twelve-soil-orders/?utm_source=chatgpt.com As for CO2 NASA Study: Rising Carbon Dioxide Levels Will Help and Hurt Crops https://www.nasa.gov/technology/nasa-study-rising-carbon-dioxide-levels-will-help-and-hurt-crops/
  5. Not so much a matter of loving Reagan as it is to point out Trump's massive ignorance.
  6. Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020. https://www.cfr.org/article/2024-election-numbers So, according to you, less than a majority constitutes a landslide?
  7. A majority of american voters did not vote for Donald Trump.
  8. There's something almost endearingly childlike about ssomeone who thinks because they pick and choose from a reliable source that means that they aren't cherry-picking.
  9. There's also an exemption for religious reasons.
  10. Thanks for demonstrating your ignorance about what cherry picking is. And as for knowing nothing about inflation in the USA, I rely on experts and not on anonymous posters on ASEAN com.
  11. It's really funny that in reference to grocery prices, you engage in cherry-picking. You're such a kidder.
  12. Your lack of understanding is about relationship of units of currency vis a vis inflation to personal wealth. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin. You have kept on citing the future as evidence to bolster your claim. That's just sad.
  13. And black men because of the nature of their facial hair, are far more likely to mood to not shave. Maybe that's the point of this?
  14. But I am sure of is that you made that number up. Which calls into question your grasp of reality.
  15. Stop making things up: U.S. food prices rose by 23.6 percent from 2020 to 2024 https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/chart-detail?chartId=58350
  16. I've seen similar points raised by people who post that the decline or rise in the value of the baht is dispositive proof that the dollar is either in trouble or doing well. It's just not that important in the scheme of things.
  17. Given that I replied to Novacova's comment that has nothing to do with the price of bananas, maybe your comment should be directed at him?
  18. Anyone who claims an objective truth about someone they have no personal information about and not even any errors on their part to cite, hasn't a clue about what is objective and what isn't.
  19. "Meat is a result of inflation primarily." Thanks for the comedy.
  20. What's that got to do with this forum and the issue of posting about Thailand?
  21. I don't understand how posting comments about the USA stops members from posting about other countries.
  22. No, this forum is not predominantly Thai. How many issues posted in this forum are relevant to Thailand?
