 | Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems. |

That's your only reason to call the USA 'great'.
The US is the biggest bully and Americans are exploited the most. Congratulations!
You might think that's enough for your pride, that's your call,
but on everything else, the USA is mediocre at best.
The average American is suffering for that military and your wealthy.
If you compare the bottom 50% of Americans with the bottom 50% of European:
- Those Americans are working more hours than the citizens of ~23–25 EU countries.
- Those Americans have a lower Quality of Life than the citizens of ~20–25 EU countries.
There are only 27 EU countries.
That means that the USA might be great, but NOT for the bottom 50% of Americans.
Everything great that the US ever was, was tied to keeping control of both.
As soon as the American people started losing control, your lives started to suck.
Then you voted away all your control and gave it to the wealthy.
Since none of you are wealthy, that will result in your lives sucking more.
Your lives will continue to get worse, every single day, until you take back control.
Explain why it's applicable to what I said.
You know, when you use an accusation like that, it only packs a punch when it’s rare, when you use it all the time, it just becomes noise.
My king is a nice guy, who tries his best to unite our people. There, happy now?
What an incredibly low bar to pass.
Seeing an increase in Cubans struggling to leave Cuba recently?
That's because your regime is blocking all goods from and to Cuba,
creating starvation and incredible suffering for Cubans.
You cannot leave them alone, because you fear they might succeed.
That's your country showing incredible weakness, not strength.
There are actually thousands of people struggling to leave the USA,
they are trying to migrate to Canada and Europe.
Data from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) of the Netherlands, important because many American migrants head to Europe too, shows that as of
late 2025, 6,690 Americans had applied for work, family or study migration to the Netherlands alone, already more than at the end of the previous two years.

The people that were interviewed were born and raised in the USA, but they have Mexican roots and are afraid of ICE, so they fled to my country. They can get in,
when they become entrepreneurs and have a starting capital of at least $5339.
There were NOT 6,690 Americans applying for entry in my country?
Americans with Mexican roots and are NOT afraid of ICE?
It looks like you ONLY know shit, because you're not saying anything cogent.
Are you going to make some effort on your profile now, or are you thinking:
"What's the point? My behavior is going to get me kicked in a few days anyway!"?
I don't understand that kind of loyalty to a person.
I understand being loyal to an ideology, not changing it for a person.
He is everything I dislike in the worst people, combined into one person.
People all over the world agree on a whole list of virtues, based on religious traditions and philosophy. Trump lacks ALL of them. I find it very hard to not just think of a world leader, but any person in general, who is lacking in endearing qualities as much as Trump.
I can only conclude that you like horrible people.
that it's a good idea to put a horrible man in control of your country.
And you think that I'm stupid for not understanding that.

You were always free to practice your religion, you were just not supposed
to shove it down other people's throats. Trump is trying to force Christian
sharia law on to people. It's not much different than Muslim sharia law.
It means that your only right is working and the only right of your wife is pumping out babies. Do anything that your leaders don't like and they kill you.
The only difference is that you shall worship Trump, instead of Allah.
Trump only works for wealthy Americans, not for you. He hates everyone
who is not wealthy and sees you as gullible people he can scam and exploit.
The IRDC? Even ChatGPT doesn't know what you're talking about.
YOU are paying those tariffs, dumb-ass. It's a TAX on consumers.
That's why so many goods are more expensive now.
Also, because he has devaluing the dollar.
Gas is the only thing that has been lowering in price a bit. These are all the expenses that have been increasing in price under Trump's second term:
- Housing (rent)
- Food & Groceries
- Utilities & Household Energy
- Healthcare & Medical Costs (22 million Americans have seen their premiums at least DOUBLE)
- Core services such as personal care, recreation and airline fares
- Transportation Services & Vehicles

And I don't have to prove anything to you.. You are a liar, a cheat and a con.. THat's why// A total fuckup.. Just like Cat52!.
Because you are a fool you will not understand or not want to understand but others will read this.. I voted for Donald Trump for this reason:You wanted to know why Israel I would die to protect. First of
all, Yes I'm Jewsih,, but the strategic position of this country in relation of the middle east for the rest of the world..
Iran wants to murder and commit genocide not just to Jews, They want to kill you too..But in order to destroy you they gave to get past Israel. You are still alive because of the position of Israel. Anyone that doesn't get off drinking camel piss and fucking goats will be killed leaving the world in global sharia law. The one organization that has funded radical islamic jihad and terror networks are the socialist and extreme radical Leftest that commit terror acts all over the world including our country.. But because you are a con, cheat, and a liar with trump derrangement syndrome you overlook this ... Man you are just so fucked up I can't believe it.. You are one stupid jackass.. Just a total fuckup..
Israel LIVES!!!! For you, for america.. for democracy. But you're too stupid .. Very stupid not even realizing the size of Israel is a deception. They are the best in the world and would destroy you with a wink.. IRGC is destroyed in just a couple of hours,,, ALL military heads have been assassinated.. YES FUCKTARD,,, ALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid bastard.
There is one problem though; how do you decide what you want to believe?
Do you even have a choice in the matter, or will you just believe the side
that you have been taught to believe.
OMG man, you're sounding like a complete mental case there. Take your pills.
You think too much. But here in forum all you have ever displayed at anytime is just bullshit.. I can see how people are smarter than you.. But without your stupidity there is no way to decipher what is smart and what is dumb.. You've created that common frame of reference of dumb..
So how is this my fault? By all means this is far from personal. I'm just explaining what your learning capabilities are. Any moron would understand what I just said yet it is still confusing to you.. The only question is to see how fucking stupid you are.. But I don't care about that anyway.. So if you don't understand but a moron understands how much of an imbecile are you..?
If you had any critical thinking skills, you would see through Trump's lies easily. The guy is famous for literally contradicting himself within 1 minute.
Almost all your 'news' channels have a bias. Most of that bias comes from being owned by a big corporation or 1 wealthy ass-hole. That means that they will not criticize the system that feeds them and pays their big salaries.
You are only referring to liberal media, but the right-wing media is much worse. Remember when FOX settled with Dominion Voting Systems, for about $787.5 million? That's because they repeated Trump's lies, while they knew he was lying his pants off.
If everything I say is bullshit, you should be able to debunk a lot of thinks that I'm saying, with true facts and logic. You're unwilling to even try.
You are unable to just act like a normal human being, are you?
I am going to be exposing you over and over as an antisemite, nazi supporter anti-trump liberal slandering our president.. BUT most imortanatly exposing you are a jew hating nazi supporter.. Every time you fuck with me that's what you'll
Mas are you fucking stupid... Totally just a total fucktard..
You are unable to say ANYTHING of value, you're only stirring shit.
Only you can think that accusations are the same as exposing someone.
You must have a very low IQ, to not understand the difference.
Your president is exposing himself, to the whole world.
I'm not slandering your president, I'm just saying what he is dong.
He doesn't know the difference between slander and telling on him either.
It's sad that a president is just as low-IQ as the dumbest person on a forum.
I don't have to.. The whole site knows your wrong.. I can see nobody like you here. I stand with what I say and fuck you... FUCK YOU
I've shared your attacks towards me here to my friends on the site.. Just because I don't have friends doesn't mean I don't have them.... Prepare for site attacks on your page.,. it won't stop.. ever..
I've debunked your fucking bullshit over and over... Seriously , how much of a stupid fucking imbecile are you...
THe problem is you have no reasoning ability or common sense.. Oh you can pretend being an english teacher and think you write here showing your education level but I don't bite.. I tell it like it is....
And if you keep sticking up for CAT52! who is a proven nazi for me and my people you have no idea who you are dealing with.. I'll show you what I'm capable of ... If I see you pulling that shit with me again ,,, well lets just say there is going to be retaliations in persuit of justice.. This is why your nothing but this explains to me how much a fucking piece of shit no good mother fucker you are...
Are their any other stupid questions?
I understand cult-like adherence
to demagogues and autocrats.
They attract people who're ready
to surrender entirely, their souls
and their brains (whatever little they have of either).
I see that you understand WHAT they do, but can you explain WHY?
Why would they serve someone else, instead of pursuing happiness?
It's blind faith.
But they equate it with happiness.
Perhaps they derive pleasure by
realising how many people are suffering.
"Faith is choosing to believe something that isn't true" - Mark Twain
I never read Mark Twain, but his quotes are pretty good.
"Faith is not what you say."
People who have faith in religion, feel the need to reject reality.
Almost all of them reject scientifically proven facts, because their world view doesn't allow accepting those facts. Not all believers reject evolution or the Earth being billions of years old, or believe that 'the flood' really happened,
but ALL believers feel the need to push their god in a hole in knowledge, until that hole is plugged with knowledge. They are not discouraged about that, they'll just find another hole in knowledge to justify their beliefs.
Some believers have a more sustainable strategy to justify their beliefs.
They just immediately retreat to the creation of the universe, which will possibly never be fully explained by science. Then they use that vague notion of a supreme being to justify whatever they want to believe about it's character and to justify how they want to behave towards other people. That's the worst kind of faith, because it accepts that the holy books are fallible, while still picking and choosing in them, to justify what you want to believe.
If you accept that the holy books are just the product of fallible people, who hadn't figured out anything about the natural universe yet, so everything happening was SUPERnatural to them, than you cannot also believe that it is the 'word of God'. A god should have been able to provide that bunch of primitives with some useful knowledge. There really is NOTHING in any of the holy books that can be considered knowledge.
It really is faith, to still believe in the supernatural, when humanity has explained away everything that appeared supernatural to those people.
It results in self-deceptive people rejecting all those explanations, and people who are honest with themselves believing that there was a plan behind the physics creating the universe we live in, and calling that "God".
What you would call the 'true believers', are people who have faith that their holy book is INFALLIBLE. That is obviously false. It is contradicting itself, science proves most of it wrong, and those 'true believers' themselves even reject most of the morality in it. They don't follow almost any of its rules and instead follow the rules that modern society has created, because morality has progressed beyond the primitive views of 2000 years ago.
People who believe in a god on faith, pick random things happening in the world as a sign that god is real. And when those random things happening would be a sign of their god being evil, they just explain it away, saying that their god works in mysterious ways.
That is faith, and it is exactly what Mark Twain said about it.
I have now put arguments to the quote of Mark Twain.
You could try to argue against it, but I expect you won't, because you can't.

Wanting to be right so much he starts to throw insults and threats. The IQ of a gnat on a bad day.
You fucking come on here with your pig shit mouth insultng people personally based on race or political affirmation with no regrets or remorse.. The world is better without you than with you but as they say the lord works in strange ways.. I still don't get it.. I hope you do pass away naturally as God intends but when you die you will be nothing but a forgotten memory. Both you and Ananas2xLekker. With honorable mention of that fucktard BJUK.
When it comes down to life you are the absolutely pinworm infested pig shit of this planet.. As long as you here I am going to expose you... You are a liar, a cheat and you don't come in here to create beauty, you come in here to destroy it.
Believing in a god doesn't change the truth.
Either a god exists or it/he/she doesn't.
If not, you will be nothing but a memory too.
How/if people remember you is dependent on your behavior towards them.
Since you are awful towards most people here, I assume you are like that
in real life too. That doesn't bode well for the memories you will leave behind.
If the Christian God of the OLD testament is real, I will not like the afterlife.
If the Christian God of the NEW testament is real, YOU will not like the afterlife.
You personify every vice that Jesus spoke out against.
And you serve a master, who is the opposite of Jesus in every way.
It does make a difference, because you're not a long-standing member in this
on-line community. You just come here to spout your nonsense and hate,
until you are banned again. Then you come back to do it all over again.
Luckily the moderators of this website are mostly objective about who is
violating their Terms Of Use, by not conducting themselves in an adult manner,
so your feeble threats don't bother me. I'm being the adult in our conversation,
you are acting very childish.
I assume you're either Jewish or one of those Christian nationalists, who picks some tiny parts in the old testament that they like, and ignore EVERYTHING that Jesus ever said. I'm an atheist, but I care about what Jesus actually said, more than you.
You are a fucking nazi supporter and a nazi sympathiser... You've earned my wrath mate..
Get ready mate
You are humiliating them, by association.
Look... your apology window has expired and many people know you did this.. You not only tripled down you kept going. It's amazing you are still here because as long as you are
on good standing here there could be warrents issued..
These coversations have been logged and placed on a different server with timestamps... Man this is starting to get really fucked up now..

A person of politics has, in some
way, a sense of dignity and respect.
They have none.
All they want is destruction
and killings and anything that
goes against human nature.

why is it every other nation has borders and enforces them,but our democrats want chaos here in the US?
they are planning to replace a bunch of criminals by actual law enforcement.
Ripping up The Constitution is how Trump is creating chaos in the US.
You better learn about it, before your rights are disrespected even less than those illegal's.
If you keep demanding that people are treated horribly, you will get your wish,
but it won't be just the people you intended. That's because people who hurt people
will never stop hurting people. Don't pick those people to be in charge.

I have heard that Singapore is nice and pretty good to live in.
They say it's beautiful, safe and clean, and the people are nice.
I have never been there, because it's very hot there, I tend to spend less on vacations, and they eat a shitload of soy that my girlfriend is allergic to.
You could ask some AI: "Why is Singapore a good country to live in?"
"Better than the US?"
I asked: "In what ways is it better than The Netherlands to live in?"
ChatGPT started with the climate, calling it a Tropical climate.
But other points made it look good.
You will see how your country handles it, when we don't let you anymore.
Trump called himself a "unifier". True, he unites everyone against the US.
... Where the hell did you get this information from or is it just a downright lie?
Why lie since this page should be based on transparency to create a straight line towards the truth? Do you lie because you want everyone to think you are smart?
So far up to this point you've done the opposite 180 degrees by convincing everyone you're dumb and stupid.
The NATO's 2% 'rule', established in 2014, was not a rule in the legal sense.
It was a political commitment by NATO members to aim to SPEND at least 2%
of their GDP on defense.
You are correct that many the NATO members didn't spend what they had pledged. In 2023, the average was 1.8% of GDP, excluding the US, including the US, it was 2.6 % of GDP.
Here is why: NATO was created to ensure peace in the NATO area.
It was a combined force against Russia, while they were an ally in WW2. WHY?
That was only the US forcing everyone else to pick your side and NOT Russia's.
The US didn't like communism, wanted it to fail, and united everyone against it.
As a result, the US became the dominant military power and economic power.
Why did the US SPEND so much more that the rest of NATO?
Because the US didn't spend on DEFENSE, but on OFFENSE.
The US has been attacking countries all over the world,
and the reason was to dominate the world's resources (oil).
The US toppled governments that didn't sell the oil cheap enough.
You built military bases all over the world, to control everyone.
That was very expensive, but that is mostly for the benefit of the US.
Many Europeans didn't want their money to be used for waging war,
with heavy civilian deaths, against countries that hadn't attacked us.
Another big part of the US's 'defense' budget was primarily used for SPYING, even on European allies. The NSA has been stealing the EU citizens' personal data and our industry's intellectual property. The US has made sure that you dominated the digital infrastructure, making everyone else dependent and vulnerable. This has been a joined effort by your government that wanted people's data and your corporations that can make huge profits from people's data, and gullible citizens who give away their data willingly, to see cat videos, vent their anger on a forum,
or have their biases confirmed by some grifter. This has favored the US massively.
Meanwhile, the US heavily encouraged European countries to buy weapons from the US, instead of producing them ourselves. That resulted in our spending going directly to your military industrial complex. Since the citizens of liberal countries didn't want their pension money going to the manufacture of cluster bombs, that conflict with the Geneva convention, EU countries did fall into trouble coming up with the funding to spend the 2% of the GDP they pledged. The EU citizens didn't like how their money was being used. We actually live in a DEMOCRACY.
[Fun fact, in my country, it was mostly when our right-wing party controlled politics, when funds for the defense spending were cut the most. That was under Rutte,
who is now NATO Secretary-General. He is now telling everyone that daddy Trump is right, while he led our country to cut the defense spending the most.]
However, the NATO members were still spending roughly $430 billion, excluding the US, while Russia was spending around $140 billion. That would have been more than enough to defend us against an attack on the EU. Understand that before Russia attacked Ukraine, there was good reason to think that the Russians would be stupid enough to attack the EU, because the EU bought most of their fossil fuels, which was about half of their income. We were building Nord Stream 2 with them, at the time. Russia had a GDP just a bit bigger than the GDP of Italy. The GDP of the EU was 7.3X bigger than that of Russia.
The attack on Ukraine was not an attack on the EU, or on NATO, but it was certainly a provocation. No one invoked NATO, the EU just assumed that defending Ukraine, against the former biggest enemy of the US, would be in the US's best interest. Maybe you can explain why it doesn't seem that way?
Can you explain that anyway else than that Trump personally likes Putin and that
Trump seems to have lots of financial ties to Russia?
A challenge to you, is to read my reaction without your American bias.
When you say something, do you ever factcheck yourself?
Or do you just call me a liar, on what you have been told to believe?
You only presented ONE real argument to call me stupid; the percentages.
I have explained the spending difference. SHOW ME WRONG, on anything I said.
Do NOT just SAY I'm wrong or stupid, present verifiable facts that contradict me.
Be transparant.
You want to kill the economy by getting rid of gas for cars then forcing people into dependence on government support.
You are an extremist/communist pinworm infected piece of pigshit that tries to convince sound educated people that already know your intentions only to have them laugh right in front your ugly face making you the fool and jackass of this forum.
So yes, you aren't dumb in that regard. But dumb in believing you can shoot this shit on us and we all agree.. This only tells me you are a fool with no life planned.. You waste oxygen and shit out excrement.
This is known as an attempt of creating a political position. This is your tactic. Nothing more. You're forgetting that I have hands on experience with fucktards.. Just like you and that racist pig shit snot infested CAT52
Everything you've ever said in conclusion is a lie and I believe you know it is a lie. I don't have to disprove anything you say. You do it by yourself. You're just a total fuckup with antipersonality disorder.. Solid
No one is telling you that we're all done by 2028. It will just get a bit worse very slowly. It will be more damaging, as we go along. At some point, the damages
will be more expensive than having done the complete energy transition.
You president is throwing aside energy technology that is cheaper and pollutes the environment less. Even if you don't "believe" in climate change, it's worth every dollar of investments. The only reason he does it, is because he got
a $1 billion campaign donation from BIG OIL.
About 18% of global energy consumption used by passenger cars.
That is the hardest energy to transfer to electricity, because they cannot be connected to the electric grid, all the time. Still, the people who want you to not support the energy transition, keep you focused on cars, because that's the hardest problem to solve and because Americans are very sensitive about their cars. They stand for freedom to you.
23% of global energy goes to electricity, which is now still coming for 59% from fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, oil). Why? They are super easy to transition to renewable energy, which is MUCH CHEAPER NOW. Do you like burning money?
About 60–65% of global energy consumption is fossil fuels used directly by stationary objects (not counting electricity). These require some more effort to migrate to electricity, so they can use renewable energy. They would still be
much cheaper to run, after that transition.
I might be a communist, but I understand the idea of INVESTING in the future.
Do you?
Why the fuck would I want to kill the economy?
Is this the level of nonsense you need to tell yourself?
Come up with some actual arguments, because this is embarrassing.
Can you actually SHOW ME WRONG? I have fact checked everything I said in the last comment. There is still opinion in there, but NOTHING is downright false.
Unlike your ideology, who is gaslighting people to not believe their EYES,
I think LYING IS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS.
I have no comment on you... All you do is create accusations with no juristiction then demand I prove you wrong... All I give you this reply.. "FUCK YOU..don't ask me again or I'll throw 7 shitpiles on your page..
Just fucking grow up and and accept my gift of a nice big cup of shut the fuck up.
Do you understand how CO2 absorbs Infrared radiation from the sun
and turn that radiation into heat? I can explain it, if you don't.
Are you denying that the global average CO2 concentration is around 426 ppm today, and it was around 333 ppm in 1976?
IT'S JUST PHYSICS.
Do you understand why the planet Venus has an average surface temperature of 867 °F (464 °C), while it is only ~28% closer to the Sun. The next planet is Mercury. It is ~61% closer to the Sun, and it is on average ~333 °F (~167 °C). That's because Venus has a thick CO2 atmosphere and Mercury doesn't.
That's just science, not 'lefty lies'.
You don't have to argue with me, so don't be an asshole if I react.
Don't be a fucking snowflake.
Cover my page in shit, I don't care. It just shows that you are a petulant child.
This website is for ADULTS!! If you cannot handle that, just leave.
If you are a licensed scientist with a doctorate in quantum physics then tell me how you got these credentials and qualifications or you can just shut the fuck up now based on my conclusions your nothing but a fucking moron and I'll stay or leave as I please, you go that fucktard.
I have a science education, but I'm not a scientist by most definitions.
I have a bachelor is Biotechnology, which is a science education.
I work in Bio-pharma, using the scientific method every day.
I'm part of an engineering team that improves the processes and
solves issues.
I have a scientific education ✅
I work in a science-based field ✅
I apply scientific knowledge daily ✅
I do not produce new, testable knowledge about nature ❌
I do not participate in scientific literature or the research loop ❌
It doesn't require a doctorate in quantum physics to understand climate change. High-school physics, plus a little chemistry, is enough to understand the core mechanisms of climate change for yourself.
It's not cutting edge science either, the discovery that carbon dioxide, CO₂, absorbs infrared (IR) radiation dates back to the 19th century.
The key experiments were performed by John Tyndall, a British physicist,
in 1859–1861. Tyndall demonstrated that gases like CO₂, water vapor, and methane absorb infrared radiation and trap heat. He used a setup where he passed IR radiation through various gases and measured their absorption.
His work is considered the foundational experimental proof of the greenhouse effect. These are basic experiments nowadays, which can be repeated by high school students in a few hours.
Can you do anything else, than making personal attacks?
How about an actual argument, that contradicts any of mine?
If climate change is a lie, you should be able to debunk it.
Do you even understand what that means?
Climate change is a natural process. Its a functional curve in relation with time. This is normal.. Normal.. So in essence yes there is climate change but its based on functionality not induced. Your paranoia is a pseudo-reaction and its enhanced by your left wing stupidity and ignorance.
You want the truth? This is a sound reply.
1) You think that my education would provide me the ability to understand climate change, or you would have no problem to believe it.
2) You have no education that you think would provide you the ability to understand climate change, or you would say so, instead of obviously listing nonsense qualifications.
The argument "climate change is a natural process" is very simplistic.
It's like saying that murder doesn't exist, because people die of natural causes.
There are ways to understand the difference, e.g. "This 20 y.o. man was found dead, with a small hole in the back of his head, and his face missing. We think he didn't die of 'natural causes'!".
Climates indeed change naturally too. We know that, because civilizations of old have been keeping some records about the weather and the climate, since the Sumerians and Babylonians 3000 BCE. Ancient Greeks have been trying to explain the weather since 400 BCE. Aristotle wrote Meteorologica (~340 BCE). It's understandable why they wanted to know. Their lives dependent on their harvests succeeding.
The first scientists to proposed that much of Europe and North America had once been covered by vast ice sheets, were Swiss geologist in 1837, known as the Ice Age Theory. Their evidence was physical marks on the landscape that could only be explained by massive moving ice sheets.
Later in the 19th century, geologists found alternating layers of glacial deposits and warmer-climate sediments and fossils indicating repeated cold and warm periods. This led to the idea that Earth had experienced multiple ice ages, not just one.
In the early 20th century, Serbian mathematician Milutin Milanković proposed that variations in Earth’s orbit and tilt drive long-term climate cycles.
These are now called Milankovitch cycles, and they explain:
- Ice ages (~100,000-year cycles)
- Warmer interglacial periods (like today)
This work connected astronomy with geology, creating modern paleoclimatology.
Later contributions:
- Astronomy (orbital cycles)
- Physics (climate modeling)
- Paleontology (fossil evidence)
- Geochemistry (ice cores, isotopes)
Those those studies with ice cores and isotopes are important. Scientists drill deep into ice sheets in places like Antarctica and Greenland. Each year, snowfall forms a new layer. Over thousands of years, these layers compress into ice. A deep core is like a timeline of Earth’s atmosphere. Some Antarctic cores go back 800,000+ years.
Scientists can measure the Carbon dioxide, Methane and Nitrous oxide concentrations, in trapped bubbles in the ice. They can also measure the age of the ice by measuring the Oxygen Isotopes in the water molecules of the ice.
They started doing this in the 1960s. The Major global concern about climate change didn't take off until the 1980s.
Anyhow, from ice cores alone, we now have a very accurate, direct record of atmospheric CO₂ going back about 800,000 years. This record covers about 8 full glacial–interglacial cycles. Other measurements support those measurements, like on Marine sediments, Fossil leaves, Cave Deposit, Boron isotopes in marine carbonates and Oxygen isotopes and trace elements (Mg, Sr) in stalagmites and stalactites and basic observations from geologists.
That ~800,000 Years of history from the measurements shows that the CO₂ never exceeded ~300 ppm NATURALLY. The natural range is:
- Typical glacial periods: ~180–200 ppm CO₂
- Typical interglacial periods (warm periods): ~270–300 ppm CO₂
Based on orbital position and Milankovitch cycles, NATURAL CO₂ today would likely have been around 280 ppm.
As of 2026, atmospheric CO₂ is over 420 ppm. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!!
March 2017: 406,92 ppm
Current Weekly Avg (Feb 2026): ~428.10 ppm
I am indeed left-wing. How does worrying about the climate serve my purpose of lowering inequality, people having safe jobs that pay for their bills, universal housing, universal healthcare, universal education, nature preservation, women's control over their own bodies, racial/gender/LGBTQ+ equity, taking corruption out of politics, and free speech that doesn't prop up hate and propaganda with social media algorithms?
I am 52 years old and born in a mild climate. I have SEEN the climate change in my life. That is impossible for climates that change naturally slowly over many THOUSANDS of years. I have EYES and a BRAIN.
How about you? Are you telling me that you have not noticed?
Or do you buy the story that humanity can just cut down ~35%
of the forest area in the world and emit 38 billion metric tons of CO₂/year,
without that having an effect? How does that make sense to you?
It can only be a lie, if hundreds of millions of people,
with completely different ideologies, from all over the world,
conspire together, to spread this lie, exactly in the same way
that flat earthers believe, about the 'globers'.
What reason do you have to reject this? Are you afraid?
Or do you think it's expected of you, because you picked a side?
As long as you are here discussing things, I'll react to you, as I see fit. That's my free speech, and I take it seriously. You will never succeed
to shut me up. That's how the marketplace of ideas works. Deal with it.
There is a mathematical explanation showing this is a lie. There is a algebraic mathematical function showing and involving the lifetime of the earth in relation with time (t)...So far man has existed for 100,000 years give or take. The climate is of the earth is graphed from billions of years. Sin(t) which forms a curve in relation with time is to draw information as to what amounts or CO2 and Methane is presentin the atmosphere where the period is measured as 2*PI, the current time, past and future function with relation to time.....The slope of the function is greater than 0 right now for there have been many cycles of which the slope has been positive, negative or at 0 from day one. Say what the industry has produced chemicals such as this so you compare the number 1 to 1.0000000000000000000001 with fossil fuel production. That means what you are telling me is insignicant in relation of crossing any critical points disrupting the earth's cycle comparing normality and alarming trends..
THe one thing I'm alarmed with is the illegal dumping of chemical waste into the rivers, oceans and the earth of which there is substantial evidence that shows corruption with politicians taking bribes to overlook these infractions PLUS even though knowing they are responsible they will blame other agencies such as car and factories that conform to filter out harming chemicles producing which also taxes people just trying to get to work or grocery shopping.
This just doesn't hurt people it destroys all life on earth.
This is how corruption works and at the same time murdering cows and putting Iron and Mercury into water streatms reducing life spans for for power and economic purposes.. THe extreme left of whick you are involved with participates by using climate change in order to steal money while taking your car away from you..
This is why Al Gore wrote his book by the year 2002 the earth telling us the world was going to be destroyed. Now its 2026 telling us to world will end by 2030 and we need to pay our tax dollars but that the same time its doing nothing other than lining their pockets.
How are you believing I'm suppressing your free speech when I haven't banned you? I have dealt with it, I have total clarity with your agenda here.
You really have no idea who you are dealing with here do you?
Just because you are fucked up with an attitude and completly just totally retarded I am not responsable for your fucking incompetence in proving your accussations wrong.. My job here is to bring facts. You can't pay me to disprove anying to you. My response to you is "FUCK YOU" , get a fucking life already and shut the fuck up..""""" But you won't ,, you're just too fucking stupid to see it. How is this my fault cleaning up your mess? Just because you dropped out of school in the 2nd grade how is this my fault where I clean your shit on the floor?
Look, you're blood pressure is boiling up, I can feel it.. How about we just take a break so you can just calm down already? Chill for crying out loud,, such a baby
The idea is that since we are adults and yes this is an 18 or over website gives us the responsibility as behaving as adults where there is no paperworks that prove our moral compass..
My suggeston is to use facts and state conclusions based on journalism(obective broadcasting of events for a large numbered population) as adults and professionals of right and wrong. It doesn't matter how educated you are on university standards for establishing credibility as long as you are being sincere with telling the truth right or wrong.. If this is pertaining of polital structure of USA we should remove personal bias and personal attacks and to keep focussed on the current topics at hand relevent to forum discussion.
You are ignoring one thing; you can be honest AND WRONG.
Education trains the brain to discern the truth from lies.
Without education, people are more susceptible to believing lies.
There is real journalism, which is objective, and there is
fake journalism, which is intended to deceive.
It requires critical thinking skills to recognize what's what.
Scientific education teaches critical thinking skills.
Science is not merely a body of knowledge; it is a self-correcting method designed to minimize individual bias and systematically separate reliable claims from unreliable ones. It's a skill that improves with every level gained in science education.
For example, the levels can be generally split in 3 levels of science education:
Level 1 — Everyday Claims
For evaluating basic claims (e.g., “Does this diet work?”),
a solid high school–level understanding of:
- Logic
- Basic probability
- Correlation vs. causation
This is often sufficient to avoid obvious mistakes.
Level 2 — Complex Public Issues, For topics like:
- Vaccine safety
- Climate modeling
- Economic policy
People need:
- Statistical literacy
- Ability to read scientific papers
- Understanding of uncertainty and model limitations
This usually requires at least undergraduate-level training
in a relevant field.
Level 3 — Producing New Knowledge
To conduct original scientific research:
- Deep specialization
- Advanced mathematics or technical skill
- Familiarity with current literature
This typically requires graduate-level training (Master’s or PhD).
I see people confidently argue against level 2 complexity issues,
on clearly not even level 1 science literacy.
It 'SOUNDS' better? Is that how you think about things?
I think 100% is a nice number. That's your level of 'thinking'.
How about a world where we don't have to spend money on killing each other?
Maybe, if Trump would suck Putin's dick a bit less, Ukraine would be free now.
You keep thinking that those percentages are some sort of contribution.
No one is PAYING NATO. That number is the percentage of GDP the country
SPENDS ON THEIR OWN DEFENSE.
When your country spends a trillion on the NSA, to spy on your own citizens,
that's considered 'defense'. (not an actual number, just an example)

towards the truth"
It is a crying shame really that Trump had to be a asshole and essentially FORCE europe to grow a pair of balls and invest in it's own defense.
You just wanted Europe to BUY lots of YOUR weapons.
Which could be easily withheld from us, if it served YOU.
Now we want to buy lots of those weapons, but you're not delivering enough.
And your argument is clearly: "We don't want to risk war with Russia for YOU!"
We cannot create a military industrial complex like yours, in a few short years.
What am I talking about? Here is an example:
The Netherlands currently has about 47 F-35 fighter jets (Officially ordered: 52).
The software is provided by the US. Without regular updates the jet doesn’t just get “a bit worse”, it loses combat relevance very fast. Certain weapons and modes are software-locked. No update = no authorization = no use. Sustainment systems (ALIS → ODIN) are US-controlled. They affect maintenance, diagnostics, and readiness. If the US doesn't like how we use our F-35s, you can just 'pull the plug'.
And that's for a country that was a “Level 2” partner in the development of the F-35. The Netherlands joined the F-35 (JSF) development program early, as far back as the early 2000s, and signed onto the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase with other partner countries. More than 90 Dutch companies and institutions are involved in the F-35 program. Because of this investment and industrial participation, the Netherlands isn’t just a customer, it's one of the official partner countries in the F-35 program, alongside the United Kingdom and Italy
(the UK is Level 1).
My Socialist Party was against the JSF program at the time. We wanted to buy
the Saab JAS 39 Gripen. We wanted to be independent from the US.
You keep parroting the same nonsense.
Saab, the car manufacturer went under, Saab AB (Aerospace & Defense) did not.
I have stocks in them, which are up at 77.6% today.
I would prefer to have full public ownership of the war machine, because with private companies, it's just enriching a small group of wealthy owners, while it makes defending our countries more expensive. Still, since no one is listening,
I'll just tag along and enlarge the group of people making money from killing people a bit larger.
Do you think the world would see more OR less war, if there were no people getting wealthy from producing and selling weapons?
you gota fix the hate,that's what is profitable
it's not going to stop if you stop investing. so you may as well make some cash to better your life while you can.
It's not the citizens, it's our governments.
Care to do a an analysis of the US presidents who did that?

Grenada............19...............Ronald Reagan.....Republican

Venezuela...........7 injured......Donald Trump.....Republican
(I only added 'Acts of War' that started a war or potentially would start a war, because when you're already AT war, it almost necessarily requires further
acts of war to bring it to a peaceful resolution.)
Here's a list of territories that Trump threatened with US military action:
- Gaza Strip
- Venezuela
- Iran
- Colombia
- Mexico
- Cuba
- Greenland
- Panama
- Canada
His threats clearly described 'boots on the ground' situations.
There would be no problem, if those wealthy people were not allowed
to bribe politicians.
Fanta is of nazi german origin,when WW2 started ,the cocacola plant was defunct and they needed beverages and came up with their own formulas that of course the liberators took hold of and made it their own.
We have been to the fries museum in Bruges, Belgium, a few years back.
Also weird, what we know as 'Flamish fries' are a thicker variant, which is not square but rectangular, that we only know in The Netherlands, but they don't eat anywhere in the Flemish Region or Belgium. Some chip shop in The Netherlands just made it up 30 years ago, and now everyone calls them 'Flamish fries'.
The other origins you explained seem to mostly check out.
Ketchup seems of Chinese origin, although it was completely different there.
Strange how a name sticks, while everything else about it is changed.

so I guess the black man proving Hitler wrong is terrible to?
That's as neutral as you can expect.
I am however NOT saying that the games are supposed to be neutral.
The Olympic Games are designed to be politically neutral, but they are NOT value-neutral. They very much stand for specific ideals. They stand for excellence, friendship, respect, solidarity, and peaceful international cooperation through sport. That's NOT neutral, that's supporting values that are opposed to your political movement.
The IOC DID offer limited-edition T-shirts featuring artwork and designs from the 1936 Berlin Olympics, which were hosted by Nazi Germany under Hitler, back in 1936. They did not have any outspoken principles back then. At that time, they could be described as politically neutral, but also values neutral. Their ideology was that sport rises above politics. It seams that they have progressed beyond that, and now the IOC actively communicates values tied to diversity, inclusion, and human rights.
Still, they get criticized all the time, for allowing certain regimes to participate, awarding hosting rights to countries with poor human rights records and handling geopolitical conflicts inconsistently. They allow themselves to be used for the public relations efforts
of countries that do not care much about human rights. Maybe for an idle hope that it can help the peace process or maybe because of lots of money, or the one encouraging the other.
I don't know what they are exactly referring to, with the IOC invoking Jesse Owens,
to rebuke Hitler’s “master race” ideology. You shouldn't need a black man to do well
in the Olympic Games, to know that Hitler’s “master race” ideology was wrong and evil.
You are the one claiming that the games are supposed to be neutral, so it's you who's saying that a black man was not allowed to prove Hitler wrong, when you're now saying that an Olympian is not allowed to mildly criticize his own country. It's the same thing.
Protesting the Trump regime isn't politics, it's supporting the value of human rights.
Russia's Olympic Committee remains suspended because of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, a violation of the Olympic Truce and the Olympic Charter. I cannot predict how much worse Trump is going to get, but at some point, the IOC needs to suspend the US too, because of his actions.

I looked at the Fox News opinion piece you linked (from Fox News Opinion by David Marcus), and here’s what I found regarding the claim that Donald Trump “has spent nearly two decades” trying to get Jeffrey Epstein convicted:
📌 What the Fox News article actually asserts
The article claims that:
Trump assisted Florida police in 2006 when Epstein was first under investigation, allegedly telling a sheriff to focus on Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The author says Trump later “revived” the federal case as president, leading to Epstein’s 2019 arrest.
It also credits Trump’s administration with releasing millions of pages of documents related to Epstein.
From that, the columnist concludes — in opinion terms — that Trump “has done more than anyone” over the past ~20 years to expose Epstein’s crimes.
📌 Noted issues with specifics
While the piece makes that claim, there’s no independently verified public record to back most of it, in terms of measurable, documented action:
1. Trump’s role in the 2006 investigation
The 2006 investigation was a local Florida police case that resulted in a controversial plea deal in 2008.
There is no credible independent reporting or public record that Trump “actively assisted” police or urged them to pursue Epstein’s crimes in a substantive way. Trump was a neighbor and acquaintance — but the official record of that early Florida case does not credit him with any investigative leadership.
2. The 2019 federal case
Epstein’s 2019 arrest for sex trafficking of minors was carried out by federal prosecutors in New York and not because of any special initiative from Trump personally.
Trump was president at the time, but responsibility for federal prosecution lies with career prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, not the president personally.
3. Trump’s historical statements and behavior
Trump and Epstein were friends and associates for many years before a reported falling-out. Trump said in 2002 that Epstein was a “terrific guy” and appeared at social events with him.
Trump's public comments about Epstein after his arrest focused more on distancing himself and calling for investigations after the fact than on earlier campaigning for prosecution.
4. Trump’s actual documented actions
There’s no public evidence of Trump leading or driving efforts over two decades to expose Epstein to law enforcement:
No records of Trump directly pushing prosecutors.
No legislative or administrative actions personally initiated by Trump specifically aimed at moving the Epstein case.
No credible acknowledgment from law enforcement agencies that Trump was a driving force behind key moments of the Epstein prosecutions.
🧠 Bottom Line
The Fox News opinion article is expressing a political viewpoint, not recounting a documented factual timeline of Trump-led legal efforts. The columnist frames Trump as a long-time crusader against Epstein, but this is opinion and interpretation, not a substantiated historical claim backed by clear public evidence.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My own opinion only extends to crediting Trump for his administration releasing millions of pages of documents related to Epstein. Trump did really not want to do that, but it was MANDATED by Congress, by overwhelmingly passing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan bill that requires the U.S. Department of Justice to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein within a set period (typically 30 days) and to provide explanations for any redactions. The House vote was 427-1, and the Senate passed it by unanimous consent.
Trump at first resisted or delayed that process before ultimately signing the law that compelled their disclosure.
The FBI and DOJ are now breaking the law, by not releasing all the Epstein files, and heavily redacting information in it, which the law clearly forbids.
There is video evidence on Republicans conspiring to redact ALL the evidence against Republicans and their friends and to release anything that can harm Democrats or their friends. We can see that put into effect in real time, but the sheer incompetence of the administration to even execute that plan reliably should make even MAGA people, who agree with that plan, incredibly annoyed.
When you are the DOJ, your job is to uphold te law for the American PEOPLE and be unbiased and transparent. The only thing she is being transparent about is her effort to protect Trump and not answering any questions. Who can lie to me, with a straight face, by saying that she is even TRYING to present herself as a real DOJ?
And these are "religious" people who adhere to a dogma and will not move away from it despite the evidence against it.
All the fox news does is too confirm their beliefs. They think they're getting news but in reality they're reading things that merely enhance their dogmatic views even when these views are illegal and against their interests.

By the way, I speak German.
Apes are not a race of humans. They are a species of animal that is far more intelligent that some humans that have been involved in our politics. So technically there is no racism because a ape is not a race of being. think outside of your tunnel vision.

Trump and his cronies are already working on all options to either postpone elections indefinitely, with some Trumped up martial law, Insurrection Act, National emergency declaration or whatever the fuck, or get his cronies (election officials or electors again) in, to steal the election for real this time. He has an army of thugs to keep you under control.
Most voted for Trump for affordability, but they are worse off than ever.
- About 22 million Americans enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans could see their net premiums more than double, because of Trump. Many of them can just not afford it anymore. If they suffer any health crisis, they'll have to choose between bankruptcy and death. With more uncompensated care, hospitals will raise their prices
to private insurers, including employer group plans, to offset losses. Most people are
not stupid (or at least not as stupid as the cult), they remember what Trump promised.
- Taxcuts for the wealthy, spending cuts and tariffs for the working class.
- Fastest rate of devaluation of the dollar since the 1971–1978 Bear Market. That means that everything foreign made that Americans buy is going up in price, on top of the tariffs.

Interesting to add is that the Republican outspent the Democrat by 20 to 1 !
The Democrat ended up crushing the Republican, by a 31 point flip.
When Trump was asked about it, he pretended not to know,
but he had publicly endorsed the Republican and urged his voters to show up with his X post "Today is the day! ..."
This is by far the most stupidest retard I have seen with retired generals calling a voter with rights according to the constitution exercize their rights by voting for who and whatever the fuck they want.
I prayed to God to protect Israel back in 2014 after that mother fucking bastard cock sucker Obama did the Iran Deal... WELLLLLL,,, It worked and God answered my prayer..
The real truth is that the extreme left hates jews and free thinking people that can reason without being brainwashed.. They say certain phrases such as from the river to the sea palestine will be free.. UHHHHH,,, no.... Donald trump runs Gasa now LOL.... He didn't torture or kill them.. He is in charge because palestine created the horrific nazi murders and kidnaps of 1000s of Jews living in Israel. Much more than 9/11... therefore since it is a breach and sovereignty Israel declared war on gaza hinting of destroying the IRGC.. THis is happening right in front of our eyes,,, if you are blind or listen to the FAKE NEWS they will refuse to speak the truth...
So,,, the extremists Left covers up their crimes against humanity by calling you, me and other moral human beings with strong character the evil ones... I fucking hope they just all di* already and never come back... Just stay in hell..
NOT OK to kill children by the tens of thousands, even when terrorists attacked you.
That's considered "extremists left-wing" nowadays.
It feels like hell, indeed, to have to share the Earth with you.
So with that said:
Poor bitch...Poor baby asshole... Israel didn't ask for this fight.. Now its going to finish it.. Do not interfere or you too will join them. If you end up dead trying then you'd always provide me a great target pulling down my zipper whipping out my 10 inche cock then gallonizing your body with piss galore.. then spitting on you before going out for coffee.
Ananas2xLekker means to lick 2 assholes.. Or is it the other way around where you are 2 assholes..
They have been sniping kids in Gaza from guard towers for decades.
They had turned Israel into an apartheid state from day 1.
Palestinians don't have a military to wage war with, so they only had terrorism
to resort to. Their civilian-casualty percentage was lower, than when the US
attacked Iraq, a country that hadn't attacked you. The US had the power to force Israel into a two-state solution long ago, but you didn't. You supported their Zionism.
Why the hell are you so invested in Israel, you dumb-ass?
What have they ever done for you, besides taking your money?
Nobody is forcing you to buy their inventions including the cell phone or cure of polio or 98% of the medical arts. Everything that keeps you out of a cave is what Jews produced including olive branches making a desert and turning it into an oasis. THey did this by themselves and without your fucking money.
Israel is the main point of this discussion. Iran knows Israel is a threat to their agenda so they not only want to destroy their country, they want to murder their people as well.Christians too. Anyone that doesn't fuck goats is going to be wiped off!.. Iran and Israel know that once Israel goes then america goes. Then after america goes,, you go..
Israel was not asking for a fight. There was never a time it ever attacked first other than 1967 when all 5 countries were on its border about it overwhelm.. BUT it turns out when you threaten annihilation and are in position this is the first move. Iran get's its power from one thing,, terror..
October 7th, 2023 was the last move iran ever made.. From that point, well you can see what is transpiring right now..
And this is my forum of space of 1st amendment and I will protect or accuse anyone as I fucking well please.

The first Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV), the “Salk vaccine”, was developed by Jonas Salk in the US, in 1955.
Israel has indeed played a very significant role in the development of modern medicine, particularly in medical technology, pharmaceuticals, and innovative treatments, for such a small country. The 98% number is nonsense though.
Israel was founded in 1948. Here is a list of all the "medical arts" that were developed before Israel even existed:
Surgical & Diagnostic Technology:
- Antiseptic surgery techniques (using carbolic acid/phenol): – UK
- X-rays (radiography): – Germany
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): – Netherlands
- Blood transfusion techniques: – UK / France
- Insulin for diabetes treatment: – Canada
- Penicillin (first mass-produced antibiotic): – UK
Vaccines & Immunology:
- Smallpox vaccine (variolation then Jenner’s vaccine): – UK
- Rabies vaccine (Pasteur’s development): – France
- Diphtheria antitoxin: – Germany / France
- Tetanus antitoxin: – Germany
Medical Devices:
- Sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff): – Italy
- Stethoscope: – France
- Thermometer for clinical use: – Germany / UK
- Hypodermic syringe: – France / UK
Microbiology & Laboratory Medicine:
- Germ theory of disease: – France / Germany
- Pasteurization (applied to medical microbiology): – France
- Bacterial culture techniques: – Germany
- Blood typing (ABO system): – Austria
Anesthesia & Pain Management:
- Ether anesthesia: – USA
- Chl0roform anesthesia: – UK
The Dutch have been creating cities all over the world, before Israel even existed.
"olive branches"? I can do without, but olive oil comes from Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco, Portugal and parts of California. Israel is well outside
the top 10 countries producing the most olive oil.
I've heard that Israel is very nice. My grandparents once visited it. I also want it to stay nice. To protect that, they didn't need to do what they did. They could have done that, while sharing the region with the other people who have lived there for
a very long time. Genetically, there isn't even a difference between the Muslim inhabitants and the Jewish inhabitants who never left to other countries. It's just a conflict between religions, started by the State of Israel, that was created very much biased in favor of the Jewish religion. That was not necessary, and it created all the problems afterwards. It is also one of the reasons for conflicts between The West and the Middle East. The US keeps stoking that fire, and one way is to keep sending Israel lots of money, without demanding any peace effort in return. It's not MY fucking money though, and I see no answer to my question why you should care about Israel.
Greece is a paradise, it's the birth-place of science, philosophy and mythology,
it has been very peaceful and it exports lots of olive oil, all as you claim about Israel.
The EU supported it with lots of loans, when they had the debt crisis, but we required them to follow lots of rules in return. And we wouldn't support them,
when they, e.g. kill all the Turks on Cyprus and take the island for themselves.
Are you saying that Israel did cruel experiments?
It's not necessary to do cruel experiments to advance medicine. Luckily not.
If there is some new promising cancer treatment, every patient is begging for it.

The probable reason for why Epstein could continue doing what he did for all those years.
Explain this away ,
Lots of people, making lots of money, from your need to live under a roof.
People making money is good, until it starts hurting the actual goal.
The goal of building houses is to put a roof over your head, not making people RICH.
However, if you let capitalism go unchecked, that twists everything in that one goal.
That's NOT fraud, that is the direct result of the politics that YOU support.
All these costs he is listing are the result of CAPITALISM:
- Middlemen inspectors (Private companies, hired by buyers, sellers, or lenders)
- Contractors (Private companies)
- Lawyers (Private companies)
- Lobbyists (To protect the profits of big private companies)
- Labor unions (To prevent exploitation by private companies)
- His favorite: Consulting (Private companies making big bucks for advice)
"Nobody in America anymore knows what the fuck they are doing."

You think of them as "socialists", but they are not.
At least most of them are not. Many are corporate whores.
Not as much as Republicans are corporate whores, but still.
Here is why Democratic cities or cities in Democrat run states are so expensive:
High-demand cities become expensive. The most expensive cities tend to be:
- Coastal
- Economically productive
- Highly educated
- Globally connected
Think NYC, SF, Boston, Seattle, DC, LA.
These places attract:
- High-paying industries (finance, tech, media, biotech)
- Large numbers of college graduates
- Immigrants and young professionals
Those demographics overwhelmingly vote Democratic, so once a city gets rich, dense, and educated, it almost inevitably becomes blue.
You are inverting the cause. It's not that Democrat cities become expensive,
it's that high-demand, expensive cities BECOME BLUE.
Right-wing dumb-asses can't afford it and move out.
Highly educated successful liberals move in.
Why don't you like college graduates, immigrants and young professionals?
BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE LIBERALS! Your own ideology proves me right.
Examples:
- Austin, Texas: high-demand, expensive, blue city in a red area
- Santa Fe, New Mexico: Expensive housing, artsy, affluent, very blue, in a red area
- Missoula, Montana: Blue college town, high housing costs in a deep-red region
- Jackson, Wyoming: Extremely expensive, votes Democratic locally, surrounded by one of the reddest states in the country.
To give a good example, a coworker decided to build a new house. He wanted to do most of the work himself and he wanted to use timber from his own property. Turns out his house was the last 1 in the county that was allowed to do that before new regulations hit that required all lumber to have a stamp on it and all work to be done by licensed folks.
He built a really nice home with a huge stone fire place and such for a fraction of what the average concrete slab house cost in the surrounding area. and what inspections were required, the inspectors actually brought new hires out there to show them how a house should be built and how my coworker actually applied more storm proofing and insolation that was required by new codes. people that want better can do better if allowed without all the silly regulations.
BUT when he built his house, his lumber was literally cut down as a tree,sawn on a portable sawmill and nailed up right there on the spot. Saving him a ton of money and also giving him old growth ,tight grain floor joist that were a honest 2x12 instead of the store bought 13/4 by 11/1/2 with the costly stamp.his lumber bill was less than half store bought. that is just 1 example of how over regulation cost more. and really doesn't produce better quality.
make building cheaper, but Republicans are also cutting regulation that restricts scamming and fraud, which makes building more expensive.
Your example is very narrow. Most people do not build their own houses, especially not in the big expensive cities we were talking about. They don't build with lumber there, they build with concrete.
Big cities are a whole different situation, where regulation against building monopolies, which Republicans love to cut, resulting in companies exploiting
their monopolies, making construction more expensive.
Bill Maher was talking about middlemen inspectors, contractors, lawyers, lobbyists, labor unions, consulting, that nobody in America anymore knows what the fuck they are doing. That is the result of CAPITALISM. I didn't talk about Democrats or Republicans, because both sides are slaves to capitalism, except for a small minority of democratic socialists. Both parties have maximized profits for the wealthy over serving the public's needs. Republicans give the wealthy full playroom to scam and exploit you, while Democrats put in some regulation to prevent the houses they build from collapsing. Of course they take money from lobbyists too, that force people to use specialists, rather than building themselves, but it's not intended just to make things more difficult. It's stupid to think that.
They do have a tendency for bureaucracy, but that's only a tiny bit of the reason
for why houses are so expensive. The main reason is that the goal is to extract
as much money as possible from normal people and put it in the pockets of the wealthy. Until you start understanding that, and join the fight against it, it will continue.

So with that in mind, go back and research all the bs building code and inspections and their cost and see what effect that is having on the ball room. Which to me, makes perfect sense because other countries have fine places for leaders to meet and the white house ball room could be used for large events preventing our Presidents from having to leave the US ,which reduces security risk. Let 1 President of any party get killed in a foreign land and see what will happen. Chaos.

You have turned your country into a police state.
You have not beaten crime, nor achieved any safety,
you have sacrificed freedom for the idea of safety.

Both homes are in the same "horribly expensive", "corrupt", "socialist" blue state.
You can be sure that it's nicer and healthier to walk around near the cheaper home.
There is no reason for the price difference, other than CAPITALISM.
When I bought my house, half the price ($160,000) was for the 1700 sq ft it's build on. That's because the land was owned privately, and then bought by someone who made a huge profit on it. That's CAPITALISM.
A friend of mine has a house on publicly owned land of similar size, and he pays
the government $30/year for that. Before you say it; in my country, there is almost
no difference if you own the land or not.
I would not be able to buy my house today, because I wouldn't be able to afford the $620,000 that it's apparently worth now. That's what a very similar house in the street just sold for, to a very nice couple of highly educated people with very good jobs. Good for me, right? Maybe I'm just lucky to be 52, because it wouldn't be much fun to be 20, and know you will never be able to afford to buy a decent house, because you will never keep up with this market. CAPITALISM!
Democracy is a desire to reach utopia. Social order is based on control.
I don't give a shit about capitalism or socialism. I own a decent house. For them to cheat in the 2020 american election and not bring up investigations establishing transparency I will never forgive them.. Bad business. I follow the contitution, not those bastards that have disregarded it.. So far Trump has never stolen from anyone. The american system by design and ideas looks good on paper.. the states that involve the democrats are in fact the most difficult to live in based on property value, tax, stealing and corruption.. Not to say the red starts are holy enough to have jesus walk on water either. They ae not perfect but has long as the united states government wants to keep children stupid I don't stand with america. This is a pseudo country. I'm Judaen,, from my heart. When it falls into your heart and soul then and only then is it country..Don't try to figure this out. Its Too hard a level..
. In capitolism its all about husiness which is a good idea but currently is not being excised which is bad business. Just for money to exist is bad business. You go over materialism which is soviet practice.. Money is power but I don't consider money to be pure and has nothing to do with country. ... We do not exist in democracy, rather a constitutional republic.... You don't own your country you just live there.. Is there any part of the name that describes anus?
To me a country is that what it stands for.. Truth, Justice and even the value ofsingle human being... Country..The rest is just crap and you've fallen into that trap of hate and egoism. They have you exactly where they want you to be. Using your time in propagating exactly what they want you to do.. for free..
There are lots subjects to react to, this one is about the price of homes.
Your ONE sentence isn't even worth reacting to, because it adds nothing.
You're only saying "it's the Democrats", with zero justification.
Oh, you own a house, so you don't care? How about that "egoism"?
Good for you to take the mask off. You don't care about your fellow Americans.
How many Americans need to live with their parents until the age of 35,
before you see a problem?
"Trump has never stolen from anyone" Yes, he has, all his life. His Modus operandi was not paying the people who work for him. That's why he has been in 5,600+ lawsuits from the 1970s through 2016. He has always been a crook and he is a crook now. Why can't you see that?
Trump is trying to cheat RIGHT NOW. He is demanding control over the election system of states he is sending ICE too. He is telling all red states to gerrymander
the shit out of democracy.
That property value of states 'that involve the democrats' is related to the economic strength of those states. Ever heard of 'supply and demand'? People want to live in those states, so the price goes up. However, there should still be a government to REGULATE that, so people who already live in a home don't get their rent jacked up 200%, because some landlord wants to get rich fast.
Damn, you lot all come up with the same nonsense argument. There are many forms of democracy. Most most modern democracies are 'representative democracies'. That's the democracy of my country and yours. Yours is just fucking failing to actually represent the people, but your Constitution describes an ACTUAL representative democracy. Your constitution ALSO describes your 'constitutional republic', which is the STRUCTURE of your DEMOCRACY. I think I told you this before. You could have checked it and learned something, but it looks like you have a learning disability.
Your country once stood for truth and justice, but your side destroyed it,
and all of you are lying your ass off for your horrible wannabe dictator.
All the other stuff you're adding to your comments make you look like
the “village idiot”, who's shouting incoherent religious nonsense at people,
who are trying to ignore him.
Not much different than a Mobile home park here in the US at that rate except for the actual money amounts. Can you have a garden on government land? plant a tree,build a tree house for your kid? how does that work? Odd arrangement that really puts the screws on the house owner looks to me like.
if you don't pay the ground lease. What you can do on that ground doesn't differ much from when you own it. You can build a shed, a fish-pond, a vegetable garden,
a fence (up to a specific height, and a sunroom, treehouse or sauna, within certain rules. It's mostly rules to not disturb the neighbors, because most gardens are much smaller than in the US.
In the Netherlands, land ownership does not automatically give you the right to build whatever you want. The government regulates land use to ensure:
- Safety (structural, fire, environmental hazards)
- Public order (traffic, accessibility, infrastructure)
- Environmental protection (nature, water management)
- Consistency with local planning (zoning, aesthetics, urban design)
Even if you own the land outright, you must apply for a building permit (“bouwvergunning”) before construction.
If you have leasehold, you also need a building permit for the same reasons as above.
Regulations used to be much tighter. When my parents bought their house, they were forced to keep the facade painted in the same color scheme as the whole street. After about 15 years, that was dropped, and people started using other colors.
Leasehold is more rare in the US, but there are areas in New York, San Francisco and Hawaii where people own houses on land that is owned by the government.
There are some rare cases in which people lost their homes because they didn't pay the ground lease. However, owning your own land is no guarantee against eminent domain. According to ChatGPT, eminent domain happens more often in the US than in The Netherland, even though it's rare in both our countries.

However, just last year, we heard that the village of Moerdijk in the Dutch province of North Brabant, with around 1,100 residents, is facing eminent domain, to make space for large‑scale industrial and energy infrastructure development. And those people own the land their houses have been standing on for many years, not the government.

The Quran explicitly forbids the practices that make certain types of investing risky or unethical. It does not name the "stock market" itself, as it did not exist 1,400 years ago, but the verses provide the ethical framework.
These are the specific prohibitions from the Quran that apply:
- Riba (Prohibition of Interest): This is the most direct and important prohibition.
The ban on interest is clearly established in several verses:
Quran 2:275: "...But God has permitted trade and forbidden usury [interest, Riba]." This verse clearly distinguishes between legitimate, risk-based trade (which includes approved investments) and guaranteed, exploitative interest income.
Quran 3:130: Calls on believers not to take "doubled and multiplied" interest.
- Maisir (g@mbling): The concept of g@mbling, which excludes modern speculation, is also forbidden:
Quran 5:90: “O you who have believed! Intoxicants and g@mbling [Maisir]... are abomination from the work of Satan; so avoid them...” This is used to prohibit excessive, high-risk trading.
Gharar (Uncertainty): The requirement for clear contracts and the avoidance of uncertainty is a general principle derived from the Quranic emphasis on fairness and justice in transactions.
They already hate America for constantly attacking them for their oil, so when they attack you back, they will find something that represents America's "evil" the most.

Mamdani actually has plans to deliver many things that Trump promised,
but never intended to provide. It was just a ruse to steal votes from gullible people.
The plans of Mamdani STRENGHTEN the economy, because it's all investments
in people who are now struggling, to maximize their potential and spending power.
Top priorities of Zohran Mamdani for New York City:
1. Affordability & Housing
Mamdani’s central focus is lowering the cost of living, especially for renters.
* Freeze or sharply limit rent increases for rent-stabilized apartments
* Build roughly 200,000 permanently affordable homes over the next decade, prioritizing union labor
* Strengthen tenant protections and crack down on predatory landlords
* Expand supportive housing, including for formerly incarcerated and elderly residents
2. Cost Relief for Families
He emphasizes reducing everyday expenses for working families.
* Universal, free child care for children under five
* Fare-free buses to reduce commuting costs and improve transit access
3. Economic Justice & Tax Policy
To fund expanded services, Mamdani promotes progressive revenue policies.
* Higher taxes on high-income earners and large corporations
* Reducing excessive fines and bureaucratic hurdles for small businesses
* Stronger enforcement against wage theft, including by delivery and gig-economy companies
4. Transportation & Infrastructure
His transportation agenda centers on safety and accessibility.
* Expanded bus service and bus-priority corridors
* More protected bike lanes and safer street redesigns
* Pedestrian-focused urban planning
5. Public Safety & Community Wellness
Mamdani supports a non-traditional approach to public safety.
* Creation of a **Department of Community Safety** focused on prevention, crisis response, and social services
* Investments in violence prevention and mental-health response rather than policing alone
6. Governance & Schools
He has taken a pragmatic stance on city governance.
* Support for maintaining mayoral control of schools while reforming oversight
* Collaboration with education advocates and labor groups on school policy
High-income earners and large corporations are leaching off the labor
of the working class. I am very much supportive of taxing them more
to get back some of the benefits of that labor.
Your own history shows that to benefit the whole of society.
The federal corporate income tax rate for large corporations in the U.S. was progressive, but the top statutory rate was 48% for much of the early 1970s.
The federal individual income tax was extremely high for the top earners.
Early 1970s (1970–1972), the top marginal rate was 71%.
so many there?
They don't have to LIVE there to tax them. They have income and property
in New York, so Mamdani can tax that income and property. They cannot divest from New York, because Wall Street is there. If they do, someone else just buys it.
It's a bullshit argument, made up to create a race to the bottom for their taxes.
FUCK THEM, start a race of their taxes upwards.
If you have propety there,you sell it, What income? if they don't live there, where would the income be unless they had rental property's or something. As far as stocks, the stocks are not held there. Like mine there is not even a certificate any more sadly. it's online and on record at the company. I showed you a link to the founders of google leaving california in the dust a week or so ago.new york can be left to rot as well.
A large majority of Americans support higher taxes for the wealthy.
"If you have propety there,you sell it" To someone who doesn't care about taxes?
The wealthy get income from ownership, not wages. You can't just move that.
If they get income from stocks, the state doesn't get taxes from that anyway.
An article online says "Larry Page has apparently left California personally and moved to states such as Florida — including buying high-value property there — amid the debate over a proposed California billionaire wealth tax."
So there is just a DEBATE, and he gives that as a reason. That's just nonsense. So he bought property in Florida and he sold it in California? How is that a loss to California? Some other wealthy person will own that property.
If more states are raising taxes on the wealthy, others will follow, because it's easy revenue. You can have a race to the bottom, until the wealthy pay no taxes at all, or you chose to reverse it. Stop cucking to the wealthy.
'Them' all bought guns in the meantime.
'Them' are all much smarter than you.
It will end up with you losing.
Did you hear any generals cheering for Pete Hegseth?
If looks could kill, little Pete would have burned like the demon he is.
Those generals are waiting for Trump to make the first move

They didn't become generals by being as stupid as you people.
They understand the real meaning of The Constitution.
They won't kill Americans for your traitor and his billionaire friends.
It will be a bloodbath, but a short and decisive one, in which you will lose.

"New York lost $24.5 billion in state-adjusted gross income in 2021 as residents fled to New Jersey, Florida and other low-tax states, according to the latest Internal Revenue Service figures.
Nowhere was the state's outmigration more prevalent than in New York City, the nation's largest city with a population of 8.2 million. The Big Apple had a net loss of nearly 78,000 residents between 2022 and 2023, according to IRS data."
This shows what I am trying to tell you all along, tax and over regulate and people will LEAVE.
Not only the rich will leave but the folks that haul off their trash,fix their cars and keep the roads paved will leave as well. New york is the fastest growing shit hole on earth.
is not surely related with taxes going up. It is confusing CORRELATION with CAUSATION.
There are also lots of working class people moving out of New York, because they cannot afford to live there anymore. That's NOT because of taxes, that's because of capitalism making their houses and the cost of living ridiculously expensive. It's up to the people to vote for a major, who represents the idea of which people are allowed to live in a city.
Do the people want just wealthy people able to live in New York, or should working class people be able to live there too? The result is tax policy that might turn away some wealthy people, but WILL make it more affordable for the working class people.
That $24.5 billion figure isn't applicable. This refers to net adjusted gross income
moving out of the state, not the loss in taxes for the state.
If you look at the taxes that New York collected, there is NO decline:
2014-15: ~$43.7 B
2015-16: ~$47.1 B
2016-17: ~$47.6 B
2017-18: ~$51.5 B
2018-19: ~$48.1 B
2019-20: ~$53.7 B
2020-21: ~$53.7 B
2021-22: ~$55.0 B
2022-23: ~$58.8 B
2023-24: ~$53.8 B
2024-25: ~$61.2 B
Do you see a drop op $24.5 billion there?
It's just political actors trying to prove their idea, with data manipulation.
There is certainly a movement of people trying to avoid taxes.
But you forget that taxes ALSO move, in relation to people and business.
Poor states are trying to lure business with low taxes.
But when that results in more business, they can raise taxes again.
New York can raise taxes, because they have lots of business.
They have the luxury to raise taxes, without it affecting tax income.
When a state uses the higher taxes for the benefit of the working class,
those people are able to improve themselves AND improve the economy,
which in turn will increase the return in taxes for the state too.
Your thinking is completely fixed on the idea that wealthy people create wealth.
That's not true; the working class creates wealth and the wealthy just siphon it off.
The top 1% richest households in the US own approximately $50 Trillion to $52 Trillion. What wealth have they created for you lately? Do Americans have better healthcare, education, public transport, childcare, and overall quality of life, created by that top 1%?

Will the 1% start creating anything good for normal people, when they own $100 Trillion?
At what point in their wealth growth, will the working class finally be better off?
Do we need to wait for them to leave to Mars?

In most countries, non-citizens can buy property. I can buy a home in Italy,
use it a week per year and rent it out to who ever I want the rest of the year.
Still, restrictions are very common, such as:
Limits on land vs apartments (e.g. foreigners can buy condos but not land).
Approval requirements or government permits.
Caps on how much or where foreigners can buy.
Extra taxes or fees for non-citizens.

No,Like I TRIED to explain to you , he is a negotiator. he ask for way more than what he wanted.
When negotiating a deal,rather on a used car or a island, as A seller you can't ask the least amount of money you will take for it,you ask a high price. then you can come down to a amount all can agree on. Greenland said NO,denmark said NO. Trump said yes, That means Trump is ready to buy and denmark musta saw the writing on the wall and relented some. I would love to sell you a used car. You would be so easy to rob and you would be smiling when you drove away
Meanwhile, your dollar is falling harder and harder, because several countries'
Central Banks are dumping U.S. Treasuries, because they consider Trump a risk
to the stability of your country and the world.
There are lots of used car salesmen, so you don't need to maintain a good relationship with them. That's different for all the countries that buy most of your products.
Let trump eat shit with his shitty friends: putin, milei, orbбn... every thug in the world...

The United States must either remain a constitutional republic or submit to international law, because it cannot do both. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and the conflict between adhering to the rule of law and obeying globalist planners is now staring us in the face.
only registered users can see external links
In other words, obeying international law is in Direct Conflict with our constitution, And is a hinderance to our future.And thinking about this further, this means we can't be pulled into the 1 world government without alot of changes being made. So hopefully we will be safe from those idiots that want 1 world government.

According to a CBS News/YouGov Poll, January 14–16:
86% of Americans are opposed to using military force to take Greenland
70% of Republicans are opposed to using military force to take Greenland
Way to go Lame Donald Duck!

Thing is that he's explained why he must get Greenland: because he didn't get the Nobel peace prize. Is he's revenge.
So the opposition rate is higher now!
Also,why is it muslims only seek asylum in NON muslim countries?

for ICE behaving like a military junta? The tyrannical government is here.
This is what the Second Amendment was intended for.
This is not true.
But he's only getting info from trump news, that's why he doesn't know. Moreover, he always has the impression that the world resembles his neighbourhood in the US. He has no capacity to understand how more pleasant life can be without neighbours with guns, without the American "values" and where people can speak and think differently. Like the typical American redneck, he has no clue.
The adjective "factual" and the noun "fact" are not part of phart's limited lexicon.
Trump doesn't use these words either. So his disciples aren't allowed to use them either.
Do either of you have any friends? or do you find fault in every human breathing?
He's employing without thinking (he can't think) his ad hominem attacks and is always diverting the issue.
For the record, not only do I have navy friends, both in Europe and Kazakhsta , but my all my friends are peaceful, rational (else they wouldn't be my friends) and none of them has weapons.
The ICE officer called her a "fucking bitch", after he killed her.
There is something wrong there, without even looking.
You keep supporting a president who wants to make ICE immune to Law and Order.
NO ONE is above the law. Especially not officers that are this level of unqualified.
And politicians should not call someone a terrorist on this questionable evidence.
I also guess you didn't read about why Renee lost custody of her kids, She abused them by burning them with Lit cigarettes.
And I guess you didn't read or hear about her mate hollering drive baby drive before she was shot either. She was actually obeying her mates orders and died for it.
The source that they refer to is "2 government officials".
By the way, a bruise is actually 'internal bleeding' too.
That claim that’s circulating online is a false rumor and has been debunked
by multiple fact-checking sources.
According to multiple credible reports and video analysis, at least one ICE agent
did tell Renee Good to "drive away", but other agents gave conflicting commands
at the same time.
Why do you always want to believe lies, instead of your eyes?
And now they know that any killing will be pardoned.
You and alot of people would rather the ice officer been laying there bleeding with his legs crushed and the lady driving off laughing and getting all wet in her panties.
He was actually putting himself in danger, by getting much to close to a car.
If an officer actually gets hurt, it's 100% valid to stop the car.
Cops do this many times a day, and mostly no one dies.
This is why they replaced usaid by an invasion to Nigeria where, as a Christmas gift, they killed dozens. Gift to Christianity and humanity they said. Lots of empathy.

It would be a gift to world if Nigeria was helped to progress.
That's 233 million people that you want to put in misery.
There are many scam call centers in the US too, and your government doesn't do near enough to stop them, because they are owned by wealthy people.
I have not have a scam phone call in years. I get a few scam messages per year,
but I am smart enough to recognize them and throw them away.
The most activity on that front are:
1. Myanmar
2. Ukraine (mostly aimed at Russian citizens)
3. Cambodia
4. Pakistan
5. India
6. Georgia
7. Parts of Latin America, Africa, Laos, the Philippines, and East Timor.
Nigeria is more widely recognized for online scams and fraud schemes, particularly romance scams, advance-fee (e.g., “419”) scams, business-email compromise,
and other cybercrime types, and individual scammers or networks often operate decentralised from homes or smaller offices rather than huge call-center compounds.
“419 scams” are a type of advance-fee fraud, named after Section 419 of Nigeria’s Criminal Code, which outlaws fraud. They trick a victim into sending money, personal information, or valuables upfront by promising a much larger reward later, a reward that never actually exists.
Personally, I consider these the bottom of the barrel. When people fall for it,
I consider it a TAX ON STUPID.
Many countries no longer exist due to dissolution, conquest, or unification, with prominent examples including the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Hawaii, while others like Tibet, Siam (Thailand), and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) changed names or political status.
It was invaded and annexed by China. Illegally.
Tere's no single "horniest" country, as it depends on the metric (partners, frequency, libido surveys), but studies often point to Greece, Turkey, New Zealand, and Western nations like the UK/Finland/Netherlands for high numbers of partners or frequent sex, while some fun surveys name India, Pakistan, or China, reflecting diverse cultural takes on high sex drive, but these rankings vary wildly by source and method.
Countries Often Cited for High Sexual Activity/Partners:
Greece: A Durex survey found Greeks having sex most frequently (164 times/year), according to an Instagram post from January 2025, while another source mentioned Greece as a top "horny" country, and an Instagram post cited Greeks as #1 in a Durex survey.
Turkey: Reportedly has the highest average number of lifetime sexual partners (14), according to World Population Review data.
New Zealand: Women there had the highest average partners (20.4) in a Durex study, notes World Population Review.
Finland/UK/Netherlands: These nations rank high for partners in some studies, notes World Population Review, with the UK having the most partners among Western nations, World Population Review, and Finns leading in the industrialized world, World Population Review.
Brazil: Ranks high in sexual activity frequency in some studies, notes an Instagram post, and is listed as a top "horny" country in a YouTube video.
Fun/Cultural Rankings (Vary Widely):
India/Pakistan/China: A YouTube video lists India as #1, Pakistan #2 (due to cousin marriages), and China #3 (due to sex toy production), notes a YouTube video.
Hong Kong/Italy/Spain/Austria: Other surveys mention Hong Kong as #1 globally, with Italy, Spain, and Austria also topping lists in Europe, says Travel Tomorrow.
There's no single "weakest" country, as it depends on the metric (poverty, instability, conflict), but Somalia frequently ranks highest on fragility indices, while South Sudan often leads in extreme poverty (GDP per capita). Other nations like Sudan, Syria, and the Central African Republic also consistently face severe challenges, including conflict, weak governance, and humanitarian crises, often appearing at the bottom of various global rankings
