Reading this thread is like being confronted by an aggressive panhandler.
Please spare me from the "old man" bullshit. It's a slur. Akin to calling someone the N word. It has no basis in fact. It's the same as saying "young men contribute nothing." But the funny thing is you thinking that impoverishing the middle class helps.
Hey, we can go back to burning firewood. Yeah, that's it. Or have you ever lived where they ban burning firewood because of air quality? I have.
I'm not arguing what you should do. I am saying what is going to happen - taxed or not. Taxes will always be wasted.
Although I did suggest you tax the problem directly as an aside. Those are the people benefiting the most and costing the future the most so I would suggest they be taxed accordingly. Carbon credits and such are just ripe to be scammed.
At least with the clean energy people they can't be secretive about everything like the military people.
The reason we are doomed is just as much a people problem as a tech problem. People don't care or can't understand why they should care.
Remember the CO2 is increasing at a record rate even after all this bullshit. We just sell it off elsewhere so other countries build infrastructure for it. Trump openly courts the oil people. There is little to say we aren't fucked. People just do some hand waving and magical thinkin.
oh well
I'm telling you the middle class is going to be impoverished regardless of which side you take. Do nothing or tax and do something.
IDGAF about burning wood. You stop burning wood and thats pretty much it. You stop producing Co2 and it is there for 100s+ of years.
The fact that you are an old man is completely relevant. You don't have skin in the game old man. It is a slur and it is reality. One day you keep babbling on they'll roll your ass right out of the room into the back where you can drool on by yourself. This shit is way beyond your little soft-ass crying dont slur me! It is very real and people are going to be very fucked. I don't give a fuck about your little talking points that were spoon fed into your 1 track brain. Oh the middle class will be hurt ! oh REALLY? no fucking shit.
What a nervous, neurotic wreck!
Everyone breathing is "relevant". And your phony caring about younger generations is as cheap as the way you live. Too greedy to have offspring and too broke to adopt.
I burn wood in my fireplaces and firepit, I take loooong hot showers nearly every day, I proudly drive gas guzzlers more miles than nearly everyone else combined here, I'd Roll Coal at the EV pussies if I had a diesel p/u, I never waste time separating garbage, and I don't pick up my dog's shit unless she goes in my or someone else's yard. Green this and Green that. Anyone who doesn't like what I do can lick it--then take it down the road and stick it.
No, Robby Playboy, you are not relevant.
You do seem like the sort of dipshit lifelong loser who would get a truck to "roll coal". At least you own it.
I just keep this little thread going .. Remind people the clock is ticking. A year ago I was telling people bad records were going to be broken and was clowned by a few. (Thats ok - thats why we're here) But it became too obvious and common to bother and not particularly important to me. So recently I come across a few basic points and bump a thread. I'm not the one who has to justify this or that. Nor do I prove anything to anyone. I just want you to understand what you're doing to people. I sleep fine.
I do not sit up all night trying to figure out how to create little stories for the internet like you and your associate "KewlJ" do. Too nervous? Maybe but tell us more.
Just got out of another of those long hot showers, while AQ has his temp turned down to lukewarm to "save da planet" :)
Quick irritation explained.
Just tellin' you the truth of how it is. You don't want to hear it. Yea, I'm "triggered" in this post because I rip on you so hard. Nah,you're just that deserving in this case. lol
Fuck you and Singer and anyone else who mocks this issue which is as important as anything humanity has ever faced.
But both you and Singer are pure muppets when it comes to politics so none of it is surprising.
Actually by far the best way to lower your carbon footprint is to not have kids lol.
I've always felt the climate issue is murky. There are long cycles the earth goes through with which we have no firsthand knowledge of, we've got some data and can speculate this or that. That being said it's probably naive to think we can increasingly dump these gases into the atmosphere and it will have no effect whatsoever.
Probably not much point in worrying too much about it. Too many assholes making money off of the way things are and if the earth thinks we're a threat, as George Carlin said "The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas."
Carbon footprint? Hahaha...who the f*** gives two shits about something like that??
People aren't here to worry, fear, or be nervous about all these insignificant issues. They're here to live their lives as best they can and in a respectable way. They're also here to pro-create so that the planet continues to thrive. Those too cheap or broke (think redietz) to do anything other than to shamelessly promote themselves, are the ones who don't care about the planet's future.
This has known for decades now and there is just unrelenting data that has backed it up. It is foolish to have much disbelief at this point.
Look at it as in - what are the chances that this temperature increase happened so shortly and so quickly as per predictions vs what are the odds of it happening 'naturally and randomly'.
It would be a hell of a longshot for this to have been random. Very few people can intuit this stuff. Thats the basic problem. You sure as fuck can't.
Records broken all over. CO2 production at record rate. We're literally accelerating the problem.
Guess we'll find out what is actually habitable.
I got 4 inches of rain yesterday. Monkeys heat stroking out of trees in Mexico and it will only get worse and faster. Everything is weird.
Laplace's demon told me that for every 5 universes that split off after our shared 1980 (there are infinitely many), there is 1 spawned where they don't signal with the other 4 where they do. Overall, we are in a low probability branch (totally corrupt, senile president,plandemic, etc.).
Good point! I always felt like we split into a low probability f’ed up universe with 9/11.
Think if at any time before 9/11 you had written a fiction book that described exactly what really did happen with 9/11 & everything following it, publishers would have denied it for being too far fetched!
They would have said, a terrorist attack destroys the twin towers, by a guy named Osama? And then we elect a black guy named Hussein Obama, & then Donald Trump?
Oh and we invade Afghanistan for the terrorist attack and then Iraq too just ‘cuz?
Not to mention everything else, great recession, pronouns, etc. etc.
It’s funny, or not, that every professional title denying it has passed the age where dementia kicks in for some folk *♀️
Yea. Total clownworld. Co2 was never 100s of times the current level. What the fuck is he even referencing.
But but but.. there's a guy on youtube and he SAYS .....
.
I don't claim to have any special knowledge re Co2 emissions
I believe what the vast majority of scientists are saying about the issue of global warming
I don't think they have an ulterior motive such as gaining fame or just making money
sometimes you have to have trust in some things
if you never had trust in scientists you would never go for a medical operation that might save your life
you would just say all their science is just bs - all the Doctors are just doing this type of operation to make big bucks
.
I've never referred to myself as an expert.
I'm just smart enough to figure out who should be considered an expert.
I'm also able to see such a video and nearly immediately dismiss it as rubish BEFORE I google the name and see many other articles from prominent publications calling him out for his nonsense.
Keep being proudly ignorant. I guess? It all kinda lines up with the mentality that leads to be a full on Trump lover even after 8 years of watching Trump in action.
The theory is that these guys work on grant money and thats how they're all corrupt.
If you were to base a theory on the thinkings of rightwing kookoos, that would have to be top 3 in the general excuses they use to rationalize nonsense. Given anything has a money component, you can selectively dismiss it WHILE (key part) also feeling you're special in your understanding.
So now we can't believe the scientists because they work for money. Yet this is not applied to the obvious youtube grifter types., (Not saying thats Mickey's recent youtube clips)
It is hard to invest in anti-climate change companies but somehow they're behind some big conspiracy when it is so clear that it is actually oil money that has corrupted the arena of public thought and not Bill Gates or whoever the fuck.

Hey look mickey! Global cooling!
A lot of peer pressure in the scientific community.
When I was in ICU one of the doctors saw me watching Fox News. He confided in me, actually was whispering, that he was a conservative. But he couldn't publicly be a conservative because the woke medical community did more than frown on it. They would actively sabotage your career.
Same thing with the climate scientists.
Nothing to do with politics unless you're a puppet with tangled guide strings.
I expect you confused Biden supporters and misguided Trump haters are passing more wet gas than ever today after last night's debacle for Democrats.
No troops killed overseas during his presidency? How did the idiot forget about the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal--13 dead & 38 seriously wounded servicemen and women??
One of my favorite and least talked about parts was when the stupid minor subject of climate change was forced upon the two candidates. Notice how it had no impact whatsoever--obviously because it only churns the stomach acid of nervous little libs.
Learn your lesson fools. Trump cannot be stopped because he did a great job the 1st 4 years and is poised to do even better starting in Jan.
Wet gas. No doubt another area you are intimately familiar with.
Man I didn't even realize biden did so bad. I guess I thought he was going to be a wreck and so he just came across as an old guy. He's catching a ton of shit. Seems like people trying to send him a message. Awful. Trump doesn't really need to be mentioned, if you still are taken by him then oh well.
What a difference a day (and a teleprompter) makes: Biden looked pretty spry at a NC rally today.
Too little, too late?
Zero time to watch anything like that. Navigating the everyday, real political forces. So, sue another doctor. Ha.
Yeah, he's gay: I already knew that.
I'd still prefer him to Trump or Biden.
Biden told way more lies:
Suckers and losers lie
Hitler did good things lie
Fine people lie
My son died in Iraq lie
I capped insulin at $15 lie
I capped medicaid drug expenses at $200
Retaliation lie
Trump said he would be dictator lie
No soldiers died on my watch lie
Border crossings fewer than Trump lie
Unemployment was 15% under Trump lie
Trump wants to get rid of Social Security lie
Billionaires pay 8.2% in taxes lie
Trump said inject bleach lie
Border patrol endorsed me lie
I'm going to be stepping away from here as this promises to be the most entertaining three months of pre-election in my lifetime. Please follow my The Skeptical Gambler blog as the election unfolds.
But first, I invite you to a clip from the 2024 Democratic Convention in Chicago (because where else would you hold the convention to end all conventions?).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvITkVaOpUs
I googled and couldn't figure out web address to redietzs blog. Anyone remember it?
Lol. I wasn't going to ask because it seems like a troll. Google sucks so bad. Part of problem is gambler is so monetized but couldn't even find it with his name. Dietz has updated it for years. But still without going past first page I couldn't find it
I don't find it remarkable that politicians lie. That's how the incentives run.
But you don't hate journalists enough. They're supposed to report the news without bias, but instead function as (deep) state media. The same people who three days ago called you a far-right nut job for questioning Biden's competency, are now bleating that he really needs to step aside for the good of the country.
And that has been one of the biggest Democrat blunders of all time....and will be written about as a humiliation-reminder to the left for centuries to come (if we last that long).
Fox and anybody with working eyes already saw and knew Joey was infirmed and incapable. He reads teleprompters in every speech, he needs note cards when "talking" to other world leaders at the White House, his pathetic and truly uncaring witch of a wife Jill enables the fool only because she's addicted to and loves the spotlight and the power, and he has the POS black dike KJP out there lying for him while the media has been lying and covering for him throughout his "presidency--if you can even call it that. As soon as you make Biden perform without a teleprompter, however--even after days of so-called "preparation" when the debate was according to HIS RULES/HIS MODERATORS/HIS NETWORK/HIS LOCATION, TIME & DATE--we all knew he would crash big time. And it was a beautiful thing to see.
Exactly.
It's beyond comical. What, Joe Biden's been sequestered in Mongolia the last three years? With no media access? The same people who have been telling you for the last year that Biden's cognitively A-OK suddenly smell some coffee. Major media has been so manipulative and disgusting from a journalistic perspective. Can you imagine Walter Cronkite pitching the same "Biden's fine" bullshit that was tossed ad nauseum into the public domain by MSNBC and CNN for the last year?
It's beyond sad, beyond funny. The powers that be think the average American is a complete moron. Which, well, maybe, but not THAT dumb a moron.
That was probably the best and brightest Biden we will see going forward, which is somewhere between heart-wrenching and hilarious. I suspect that's why this "debate" was so early.
Here's a slightly subtle point I came away with, and I have NOT heard this elsewhere: I have followed the Trumpster since his days opening the Taj Mahal. I got a jump start back when he debated the younger Bush et al. I didn't see that debate live, but my filmmaker friend, Dennison, had me watch it a bunch of times on his replay machines in the film office at ETSU. And here's the major difference between Trump in that debate and this one. Trump was actually KIND to Biden. His responses could have been much more cutting, much more acerbic, much more attack-mode. But when Biden staggered, Trump pointed it out, but not in some dagger-throwing way. Trump was actually restrained. I was stunned, because frankly, had I been debating Biden and Biden bogged down mentally like that, I would have screamed to high hell and pointed it out each and every time. But Trump let the focus stay on Biden, which was both smart and, dare I say it, semi-Christian?
I can't believe the Dems tossed Biden out there to perform like that. Did they not do milk runs? It was cruel.
I think Russell Brand, who has seen this coming for more than a year, provides the best blend of sarcasm and sincere Christian pity. His debate summaries are spot on. Look him up on Rumble or for short, censored splices on YouTube. For months, Brand's YouTube show has featured ads for 1776 coffee, and the narration for the ads features Biden sleeping on duty. Maybe next they can work some "debate" footage into the ads.
oh, okay Mickey - great point - I wonder how this happened - The GOP Doctors Caucus - they don't seem worried - see link -
oh, and don't forget the AAPS (Association of American Physicians and Surgeons) - from Wiki - they are "a politically conservative non-profit association" see link - they don't seem to be worried
I wonder why they aren't afraid of having their careers sabotaged___________?

I didn't watch the debate, but it was odd to me how instantly the regime media turned on him. Almost as if they had received their instructions in advance.
https://x.com/JenniferJablun1/status...37393652814097
The media instantly turned on Biden because they suddenly realized and saw "unedited" clips with their own eyes that they've been duped and were stupid enuf (and UGLY enuf compared to most FNC leg-crossers) to have believed the administration and politicians like Pelosi & Schumer and KJP that Fox, Trump, and all Republicans were lying all along.
The media was stunned, and reacted by turning on crooked sleepy Joe while doing what they always do when Trump gets the better of all the Liberals: they claim "all Trump did was lie"....conveniently ignoring that Biden told more lies than Trump.
Even more infuriating for the administration and the seriously wounded media (by the debate as well as the great Supreme Court decisions on Friday that poured stinging salt into all their wounds) was the report today that explained how Trump actually called the mother of 12 year old Jocelyn Nungary JUST BEFORE he went onto the debate stage, to try and comfort her for the loss of her little girl to 2 Biden illegal alien criminals--something Biden would never do because he only cares about himself and his criminal syndicate of a perverted family.
Biden was also tweeting while on the debate stage. They ain't even pretending it's Biden doing the tweeting anymore.
Yeah I wouldn't just assume that all doctors are liberals. They may have to go along with a lot of things because they want to stay employed. I have a friend who is an MD and he's very conservative.
Doctors can be conservative as much as they want. What rubbish. This doctor just had great bedside manner. As a doctor, you see a guy watching FOX, you tell him you're also a fan then play along with this wink wink we're in this together stuff. Put Micky in on the conspiracy. If you're a doctor you're going to bother to learn a few tricks to put your patient at ease. (He probably was conservative though - and he might bite his lip at times but give me a break)
As PT Barnum said ..... some of yall know this.
Oh yea ..
lolQuote:

Many months ago I called this elsewhere about how bad of a choice Biden is and how awful he is and it is indicative of him as a person. Democrats have this one if they didn't have him. Just like having his dog bite people 23 times. Get a new dog bro or chill with the dogs. This guy is a piece of shit up there with Trump. Trump is only marginally more gross.
I honestly wonder if he wants to bail his kid out of fed jail possibly. Or at least to what degree does that play into this. It would an epic fail on the ass of humanity if this is actually the case.
These are professional people who are highly educated in the same way and paid plenty. They all share this commonality far more than they do some "he's not one of US democrats!" sentiment. Thats just a goofy take on reality. Now if you're actively thwarting medical care due to political/religous views then that is a different thing. A doctor can tell people he is a Republican and I'm pretty sure that is enough for the discussion between most doctors.
Not everyone takes in fake media and believes that every little thing has tribal wars.
AMA may be liberal but can't really not be. They want to advance things from previous ways. Conservatives are against such things in a general sense. This should not be a surprise.
But the AMA is not dictating friendships between doctors. come'on. lol. get off the fake news guys. This tribal shit will do us all in.
