Why do climate people write headlines like this? Everyone gets cynical and dismissive when they endure predictions like those made by Al Gore or Greta Thunberg. Even if the predictions are directionally correct, people remember phrases like

Probably with the help of some insider who told the criminals that the account existed. They figured you would never notice.

Yes. Or they stayed put. I had a friend who lived at home and drove a Jaguar. He helped his mom occasionally, but it was a financially great deal that allowed him to live large.

That's a big if. Maybe you'll be right. But the odds are you'll find yourself like Germany as it watches Poland blast by it in GDP. Or maybe you'll be like England where recently 30k++ people were kicked off the National

You can be on the plane tomorrow. If you're really committed to living under the beautiful Communist dream, it can be yours within 24 hours. Do you really think that it's going to just be Mamdani victory after Mamdani victory goin

I believe a few states would have fewer seats in Congress if it weren't for some last minute adjustments. It wasn't the actual election. It was the allocation of seats to each state that had the biggest effect.

The Rs are just confused. The manipulation happened but they didn't need DP to do it. As I said, it wasn't the disclosure avoidance that generated the most discrepancies. It was other forms of adjustments.

The easiest way to do this is to leave the US. Why not go to Cuba? Or Venezuela? Or Russia? The options are out there.

Can anyone explain why they're so excited about immigration? It means downward pressure on wages and upward pressure on rents. Yet they claim they're doing it for the good of the current US residents. I can't figure it out.

And there still is today. But are they producing good nectarines? Apparently not as good as these. I know that occasionally philanthropic research works out, but generally I find that people are motivated by profit.

The 2020 Census had a number of issues and many of them ended up giving the Democrats more seats in the House than they should have. Oh, and the Census results were due at the White House in December 2016, but somehow they didn't reach

What's your plan? The parents don't believe the charges made against their child. At least the video helps the school figure out what happened and convey this accurately to the parents. But it sounds like you have some magic idea

Let me tell you that the Internet was really wild in the 70s. No need to log on or anything. It really was like the movie "War Games." If you had the right phone number, you were golden.

Yes, this is concerning. But there's also the other side. Some of the little miscreants who shared my bus ride were positively nasty. Some surveillance would have helped a number of people avoid bullying.

I suppose if they were actually deployed to the theater, the odds would be different. But they literally don't get within miles of the enemy so it's pretty hard for the enemy to kill them. Yes, there are dangers in a world filled

I thought so too. Then I read the arguments about the passage of the amendment. The people passing clearly stated that, say, the children of ambassadors wouldn't be eligible. It was mainly aimed at clearing up the questions about the v

Really? If someone passes a law that criminalizes the activity of migrants, they say they're doing it to improve safety and living conditions. But it seems like the current people in the left-wing tent hate restrictions on migrants and

I'm much older. I've always been able to type faster than I can write by hand. Forcing me to handwrite an answer slows me down -- and produces something that's much harder to read.

I thought the same thing. And I think some of the advertisement screens in places like Times Square could easily scale to 20 stories. I don't think they're that big now, but I think they could do it with little trouble.

This is what people say but I have yet to experience it myself. But maybe the problem is that I never had great expectations for management. I always assumed it was all a business. Making money was the goal. The unions, though, push this dr

Your suspicions are wrong in my case. (Yours may be different.) For the most part, I've found that companies have treated me fairly and, if anything, avoided making overly rosy promises. It's always been a very quid-pro-quo messag

Or maybe encountering union workers. Many Americans grow up in schools run by teachers' unions. Maybe the so-called indoctrination isn't working the way you expect. Ask yourself why 12 or so years of being on the receiving end of

Good? They've been a mixed bag in my life. Unions are made up of people and they come with all of the good and bad of people. I watched a union refuse to support a colleague of mine. Why? Because the people in the union were competing

I've heard horror stories about some parts of Asia. There are huge cities built because some bureaucrat wanted to build it, not because anyone wanted to live there. And the buildings are largely empty. Those are the most visible exampl
