Let me correct that. The rich that get richer by not using local workers and use exploited labour in China need China to export it's goods so they can continue to get richer. On the one hand I want to see Chinese people turn on the government, but on the other hand NZ depends so much on China to import produce that a destroyed Chinese economy would be disastrous for NZ.

That is indeed something that those that love Biden should take to heart.

Can't see any jail wanting him in it. Where to put the secret service agents? Constant disruption from protestors outside. Threat of invasion- do they want to have a small army permanently posted outside? Also, if he won the election ( as I for one want to see ), the problem of hosting the residence of the POTUS. Hopefully, if he is in fact convicted ( and that's not a slam dunk ) common sense will prevail and it'll be house arrest.

I have no idea what that is, but if anyone believes that anything on line is actually unhackable, I have a bridge for sale.

IMO the reason Trump won in the first place was that so many don't like or trust the federal government, and given the constant attacks against him for 4 years they probably have no problem believing that the Democrats cheated. I don't know if they did or not, but I would not be surprised if they did.

Perhaps they don't think the post was serious, and more like a bad joke.

It's a public forum not a meeting of the UN general assembly, so if anyone wants to post an opinion ( opinions are just that and don't need to be substantiated ) they should be able to do so without the usual tag team trying to shout them down. If any of us use the emojis, it's a/ because they are there to be used b/ because the post probably isn't worth spending any time on and an emoji will convey the posters opinion quite well without the use of words. Perhaps some would prefer that we could only "like" a post, and that would be fine by me, as it would cut down the number of laugh emojis my posts attract.

Making it up too much, IMO. Anyone actually read my posts know I said that climate change IS happening, always has and always will. As to whether it is man made or not, or the speed of change, I just don't care as IMO nothing we can do will make any difference. The CO2 already in the atmosphere isn't going away any time soon, so whatever effect it has is going to continue. BTW did you know that the biggest amount of greenhouse gas is water vapour? However they can't tax that so CO2 has to suffice for the IMO biggest con of my lifetime. There are 8 billion ( and rising fast ) people on the planet- how many of them are going to use an EV, LOL. If governments actually cared, they'd be building nuclear power plants to replace oil fired power stations, but they are not, and even NZ has a whacking great fossil fuel powered station supplying Auckland. I don't recall ever using the word "mitigation"- you are making that up. What I actually said was we should learn to live with it, and that doesn't mean solar panels or windmills, though I have nothing against solar panels per se. In future, please try to reply based on what I actually say. It'll save me from having to keep correcting you.

The subject isn't me, so how about saying something about that, and yes I take insults directed at me personally as personal, and you just made another 2 personal insults ( one of which was badly disguised ), which I do take personally. So why don't you take your hatred and bait someone else as you are off to the ignore list, and I won't be seeing your vitriol anymore.

No I don't. I am using the correct terminology for such.

If they do, which I find hard to believe, and don't use a condom which they remove before inserting in mouth they are a sitter for hepatitis.

Fortune Cookie is filth??????????????????? Please explain. I love that song. I should have been born Japanese.

Do you believers in MMCC only ever talk about it? I'm more interested in what you are doing about it. Actually I'm not interested in any talk talk about it at all. Surely you can point to something, anything that your government is doing that is affordable, acceptable and effective?

Enough talk already. Let's do something other than gasbaging. What are you doing in your life to make a difference? I already did by not having kids.

I absolutely agree there is a problem, but IMO there is nothing that we can do except learn to live with it. Apparently politicians don't care much as they are doing sod all about it.

You make a lot of personal comments against me, but say nothing on the topic. Is that because you have nothing to say on the subject?

So do tell us what is actually being done if you know so much. I see not much of anything that is affordable, acceptable and effective- zip, nada, zero.

Yeah. I've noticed that when they don't have anything worthwhile to say, the personal attacks happen. Happens to me a lot.

If referring to the present POTUS I agree with you.

and perhaps you can inform us how anything we are currently doing will reduce that amount of CO2 from the atmosphere to make a difference? If not, what difference does it make how much CO2 is in the atmosphere?

IMO meaningless. Only thing that counts is actions other than imposing as many taxes as possible. Other than that, I see nothing being done or promoted that is affordable, acceptable and effective. If governments actually believed it, would they allow Brazil to destroy the Amazonian rain forest?

What I know is that a few windmills and EVs are not going to make any difference. I don't need a science degree to know that a lot of the stuff spouted is nothing to do with climate, and everything to do with taxes and money.

Perhaps not Biden per se. Plenty of other around though.

I doubt that Biden will withdraw before the election as Harris has as much chance of winning as I would. IMO the plan is to get them elected and then, after a while, Biden has to retire, leaving her the big chair. If they couldn't get hillary elected they are IMO going to get a woman POTUS somehow.

For the same reason stories about female teachers having sex with boy pupils are almost ignored while visa versa it's a huge scandal and promoted wildy. Apparently all men are bad now, or were you not aware of that?
