No problem for you to stop reading. Meanwhile, I listened to an environmental scientist interview concerning the massage forest fires in the western USA and Canada citing far above average temperatures as a contributing factor.

I can’t speak to Canada, but the fires in California have a lot more to do with poor water and forest management than climate change.

Well, I am against open borders.  Yes, the US has always encouraged immigration, after all that is what made he US great but it is not without fault and some things need to be addressed.  Freedom from school loans - I f I signed on the dotted line for ANY loan, then I would be responsible for that loan.  Too many of these students signed onto loans at the behest of the President/Veep of those years and opted for poor degrees that had and have no use for the work force today nor in those days.  Why should I and the other Americans pay for the choices made by these students and O and Biden?  I agree that there needs to be a permanent ceasefire in the Middle East, but Iran needs to be forced to stop arming their terrorist organations in countries surrounding Israel.  However that is fixed, I am all for it.  Just like we gave up on Afghanistan and allowed the terrorists back into power and now they have gone back to the stone age in all their dealings.  Healthcare needs to be addressed too, the Republicans fought against the Obamacare bit but could never come up with a program of their own.  Now, the government has allowed big Pharmas, doctors and hospitals to overcharge all patients it seems so that health insurers seldom want to even get new blood without charging one of one's arms or legs.  I read and article in today's news - STARTER Houses now is my subject, no just houses but that American dream of the

 yesteryear:  237 CITIES (yes cities) starter houses are at least $1 million USD, half in California cities in (SF area, LA area, , many cities  near NYC

 New Jersey, Fla, Washington state, Massachusetts cities.  Yeah average starter house in the US right now is almost 200K USD and how many people can just run out and get a loan for that?  The transgender bit - I don't dislike them, I just don't understand  them nor do I understand laws that enable a man to compete with women in sports!  Even at the Olympics this year!  An as for abortion, I am personally against it but I am also even more against anyone telling any woman that she cannot have an abortion or what she can and can't do with her own health issues.    As for Trump, he is a total idiot.  If he wins, our democracy as we know will be gone, he promises just that in revenge.  I don't feel that he was ever qualitified to run the US govt but then not a whole lot of those that have been elected to that office really were any better.  I just hope that GOD blesses the USA and its citizens.  Good luck to all here!

Not far from New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, where I own a house, homes over 60 years old are selling for almost $400,000.00.   Have it remodeled or rebuilt and it sells for between $500,000.00 and $600,000.00.  
I'm wondering when the bubble will pop and leave people with a mortgage of $500,000.00 for a house that has a new market value of $250,000.00!

Pretty much every post you make further illustrates how little you really understand about the world.

 

Insurance companies provide a service to those who like to reduce the risk that some (hopefully) uncommon event causes a loss greater than they can bear.  Those customers would rather pay a moderately inflated cost spread out over the long term than face a large and sudden loss.  The insurance issuer now assumes the risk and is entitled to an increased profit when faced with the potential for increased loss during pandemics and extreme weather events.

 

The insurance company also needs to have access to a large amount of liquid assets, AKA "reserve fund", in case of a disaster causes many simultaneous claims.  Some disasters cause substantial drawdown from the reserve fund.  That fund must be replenished and the only source to do so is customer insurance premiums.  When the insurance companies experience extended losses the future customers will face higher premiums.  During times of few disasters, the insurance company profits can definitely rise and seem usurious.

Knew this 30 years ago. They calculate risk over 10 years. Climate alarmism allows a greater margin for profiteering. Thanks.

LOL.... so the Russians volunteered to fight in the war?  No.... they stupidly assumed they were saving themselves by sitting by and watching the Nazi horde wreak havoc in Europe.  Did that end well for them?

 

Now Trump, Russia's stupidest fan, wants to try the same strategy in Ukraine.... sit by and watch the atrocities.  He'll probably use that time to take up the fiddle.

Poor historical comparison. But The WW2 thing interesting and the subject of debate among real historians.

 

That being said, if the Ukraine falls to the Russian hordes, no big deal to those who understand geopolitics and the history of the area. Unfortunately, folks are Ukraine brainwashed, probably because of cash handed out. and domestic politics. Cant paint Trump as a tool of Vlad unless you engage in Vlad style politics, as the Democrats do.

Let me explain. When a woman is pregnant it's her body her choice that's well established. But then once the baby is born all of a sudden I'm 50 percent responsible. Sorry hun.

USA should put a Thai style defamation law into practice. Then Trump could get massively rich by suing everybody who mentions his lies. Still a way to go to make USA like Thailand though... scrap SS, most labour laws, and stop feeding the homeless.
