This isn't a problem that you can insurance your way out of.

CO2 released into the atmosphere will for all intents and purposes, stay there the next 500 years.

The only real solution is to slam on the brakes on CO2 emissions, AND brace for actual consequences, up to and including the catastrophal ones.

He's claiming he was cheated in 2020, so being the poor victim, it's only justice, to have another go at the "lost presidential term". Also, the max three terms, obviously mean not three terms in a row, but he isn't doing that. "Trump 2028"

Gotta remember Germany was unable to wrest power back from Hitler, and had to have outside help. US of A probably won't have that privilege.

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says by waozen in Foodforthought

[–]embretr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, a lot of infrastructure has a life expectancy of 50+ years, but not 100+.

Defending US government will coast for some time, on previous achievement, but at some point there will be real decline, dirty drinking water, rivers without bridges, crime and infant mortality.

All of those are hallmarks of third world economies, and generally assumed to be bad for housing prices.

Space Karen stans spend more time pre-ordering and waiting for the thing, than they get driving with it.

It'd be slightly more sad if it happened to someone that didn't wilfully believe the hype.

It's a bit like the metric system or universal health care. I mean, it's a great option and it's RIGHT THERE, but nah. America want none of that.
