on the other hand, global warming will pump much more water in the atmosphere, and we will have more precipitation. In fact, global warming would not be a problem at all if what I said above was not true. CO2 alone could only raise the temp

stupid question: why keep such valuable items at home in the first place? if they are replaceable, you can just insure them. If they are not, they are better stored somewhere else, no? By having such high valuables at home, aren't you

US recessions and bear markets happen most of the time because of mass psychosis, not because of some underlying cause. There can be a trigger, yes, but it's generally not that big of a deal. The government also plays a role in trigger

or just take the top N visas based on income (which is based on a solid work offer). Lottery makes no sense.

I explicitly called out "issuing fewer new visas" - how is that not protecting US workers? It seems like preconceived ideas stopped you from reading my comment. A lot of people on visas come and go, not all are establishing a new
