Climate Crisis Reaches Critical Point as Global Records Shatter in 2024
Aw hell. This doesn't fit the Man-Made-Climate-ChangeTM and The-Polar-Icecaps-Are-MeltingTM narratives. The Sea Level measured at San Diego, California is doing what? Ahhhh, it's going down....... Oops! Source: Established in 1933, the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) has been responsible for the collection, publication, analysis and interpretation of sea level data from the global network of tide gauges. It is based in Liverpool at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). https://psmsl.org/data/obtaining/rlr.monthly.data/158.rlrdata -

Can Americans afford vacations anymore?
Perhaps you should use that crayon for yourself. Please advise where you obtained the 21% value as the data released does not agree with that claim. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1984 New U.S. Department of the Treasury Analysis: Purchasing Power for American Households Now Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels December 14, 2023 The median American worker can afford the same goods and services as they did in 2019, plus an additional $1,000 to spend or save WASHINGTON – Today the U.S. Department of the Treasury published an analysis on how President Biden’s economic agenda has raised the purchasing power of American households. As Americans continue to feel the pain of higher prices, President Biden’s economic agenda focuses on giving middle class families more breathing room and easing costs. And, thanks to rising real wages (wages adjusted for inflation) and rising employment, the typical American can afford more goods and services than before the pandemic. The analysis by Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy (P.D.O.) Eric Van Nostrand, Laura Feiveson, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Microeconomics, and Tara Sinclair, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Macroeconomics, explores the interplay of wages, employment, and prices to unpack this dynamic. Key conclusions from the analysis: - Real wages have risen since the pandemic across the income distribution. In particular, middle-income and lower-income households have seen their real earnings rise especially fast. And in the past 12 months, real wages overall have grown faster than they did in the pre-pandemic expansion. - Household purchasing power has increased as a result. In 2023, the median American worker can afford the same goods and services as they did in 2019, plus an additional $1,000 to spend or save—because median earnings rose faster than prices. - The U.S. economy now has over 2 million more jobs than pre-pandemic forecasters expected. Therefore, more and more workers are benefitting from increased purchasing power, thanks to the strong and resilient labor market. -

Inheritance Dispute Leads to Murder in Chon Buri Cemetery
It is not only Thais who fight over estates at funerals, although it seems that Thais tend to go for the 'killing' option. I have not been to a funeral yet in the UK where the family did not argue about what was left to whom. Families in the UK argue, but they tend not to kill. My mother, my grandmother, my wife's grandmother, my father-in-law, my son, even my wife - there were arguments about who gets what after they died. Funerals and 'who gets what' brings out the worst in people.
