Since you bring up veganism... Beef alternatives maker Beyond Meat's stock was $235 in 2019 and $0.86 now. Seems like an appropriate trend line reflective of society's interest in climate change in general over the same period.

Easily fixable. Round off to the nearest percent and voila, a flat trend line.

"Luckily" seems to imply that thankfully there is the big 90% that can positively address climate change. But aren't we doomers precisely because we see most of that 90% has their fingers in their ears going la la la la la la?

But for Biden, everything was his personal fault. It's not like he inherited anything, like, say, COVID!!!!????

It feels a little funny to respect all this truth she's spitting, while wondering if she thinks were supposed to just forget about what she used to be like without her addressing it at all.

One President invites them in for refuge and assylum. And just like that the next treats them like terrorists. America may be feared around the world, but we are certainly no longer respected.

AAA shows gas prices are UP year over year for all grades of gasoline except for Regular. Regular is down $0.004. Less than a penny, and the govt has stopped producing pennies.

Back of napkin. 1% die each year. 42M on snap. 400k die this year. 33k just in last 30 days. That's big number administratively probably still "on the rolls", but isn't evidence of "full of corruption".

Is it the "hick" in my screen name that nullifies my sarcasm, or just run of the mill it's-hard-to-read-tone-from-text that does it? I kinda like the /s designation, but it seems to take away some of the fun. btw - I agree, we're doomed.

If you lend money to the govt, they pay you 4.1% for 10 years and 4.7% for 30 years. Why would the 30 and 50 year mortgage both have the same interest rate as they do in the example they put on the screen? If the 50 is a little higher, you don't see a lower payment.
