Jeesuz wept the fake content on this forum has sunk to new lows.

I second that.

This edition of AN is rank with navel gazing by the usual suspects.

It's all good though. It helps me wean off the site entirely. There is seldom anything of interest here now.

CO2 is what plants use for growth. They, and very other species on Earth, cannot survive without it.

 

The rest of the world's lunacy I agree with.  

lol and they will die with too much of it. I hear Venus is nice this time of year.

World is better than 80 years ago

Agree,

80 years back, no internet, no free TV/music/movies/books, no easy worldwide instant communications, and just the radio and records for entertainment.

Now is the best time ever for us old folks with pensions and living in Thailand.

Don't forget the vegetable in the Whitehouse also has his geriatric finger on the red button.

Yes, the guy who got UE back down from trump's disaster of 6.8%, got the economy out of the trump Recession, forged a bipartisan infrastructure Bill (rather than announce endless "Infrastructure Weeks" that never happened, as trump spent 300+ days and $170,000,000 of Taxpayer money playing golf), engineered the NATO effort to stand against russian aggression in Ukraine, negotiated a drop in prescription drug prices, cut $350 billion in FY2021from trump's last year deficit and $1.3 trillion in FY2022.....we should all be so geriatric.

 

Bloated fatboy trump, the convicted sex offender, convicted charity fraudster, guilty business fraudster, twice impeached clown facing 91 felony counts for everything from trying to overthrow US democracy to stealing highly classified documents, to illegally paying off pornstars so she wouldn't announce his "not quite freakishly small, but well below average Johnson".....and now praising the support he gets from Hannibal Lecter (sic) and lambasting Forbes magazine because it removed him form its 400 list...is not exactly Mr Cognition.

 

trump thought he was John von Neumann because he said "man woman camera TV person".

I think we delude ourselves or try to make us and our time 'special' by thinking the end is near and it's never been this bad.

 

Few periods in human history have been as relatively quiet as the last few decades.

 

Yes, we had Covid, but the two bouts of Plague wiped out 25% of Europe the first time and upwards of 10% the second. Genghis Khan rolled across South Asia into Europe 8 centuries ago wiping out 20% of humanity. Even in the last hundred fifty years we've had two World Wars, the Holocaust, The Great Depression, The Armenian Massacre, Stalin's purges, Mao's killing of 60 million, Cambodia of the 1970s, three major Middle East wars, Vietnam, the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.......

 

All things considered, the world is actually pretty quiet today. I can get on a plane and fly anywhere in the world today, save for over Ukraine and Israel. I'll find food and shelter wherever I go, and in most places decent medical care if I need it. We're a heck of a long way from Hobbes or Mad Max or Cormac McCarthy.

 

Relax.

Kind of agree. Yes, a cold beer, and for a little while longer a nice joint

Covid caused the higher unemployment plus recession.

 

You should stop posting such nonsense.

Besides the fact trump eff'd up Covid by denying its existence and doing nothing (such as banning flights from China, ramping up PPE production) until it has taken firm hold in the US, his economy was nothing special BEFORE Covid, as his GDP growth ranked in the bottom 30% going back to WWII. He also began running up record deficits even before Covid, and ended up adding almost $8 trillion in all before getting his butt kicked in 2020. THAT $8 trillion is what caused the subsequent inflation.

 

Obama's job growth dwarfed his, and Biden's job growth also beat trump. Obama's stock market was far superior to trump, too.

 

Because I call out your messiah doesn't make it nonsense. Nonsense is that trump ever did anything beneficial since his mother squirted him out.

This is nonsense. Private sector drives stocks plus world economy.
