Forget that the EV crap is a bit....slowed down, with credits expiring haha.
But now Bill Gates says that Climate Change is and will be a problem, just not as severe as he said before.

Well, the climate alarmists now estimate that sea level rise over the next 75-100 years is going to be anywhere from around 2 feet to maybe 6 feet on the high end.
This kind of extrapolation of one variable over many decades, without accounting for any other societal, economic, or technological variables which may change, is simply not realistic.
Bill Gates understands that.
Rational people in general understand that.
Irrational people don't understand that. They are all about their feels. They are not problem-solvers and do not understand people who are.
They would rather have reasons to feel angry and upset--as long as they can blame those feelings on anyone except themselves--than live in reality.

True.
And the most irrational are those who swear on a stack of bibles that they are not being irrational.
You have a president who is a prime example.

You're projecting (common among Progressives). Trump is if nothing else, a supreme realist.

And you don't know if they have accounted for such, but I can tell you they have had discussions on that. You are just talking out your crawl space.
China was allowed to barrel on, and had little limits put on its use of coal. Most of the semi-permanent particles come from US and Euro stack though. What was a revelation is that at some point we lose the Gulf Stream, and when we do, many areas on the eastern US coastline rise 3 feet rather rapidly. Whoda thunk?
I've been resigned for some time that we are going to conduct the great experiment and find out what man made climate change is like, but I've always put health care over climate change. As long as we can't really stop the change we might as well have good health care. Take a page from the Nordic side and we form US Inc., We make a buck off the assets we have left instead of giving them to fat capitalists to develop at below basement floor prices. We want a cut - for our healthcare, just like Norway has Equinor. Might as well get some decent health care out of the coming climate change. :)

Well I agree with you on the issue of improving health care.
For starters, let's deny insurance reimbursement for products like Wegovy and Ozempic to treat obesity. Instead, require all the fatties to 1) eat right 2) exercise more.
Second, let's closely audit and monitor SNAP recipients usage of those benefits. No sodas, no junk food, no selling their EBT cards at a discount to get cash to buy drugs, and so forth.

Trump is many things, but he is most definitely not a 'realist'. That's laughable.

"Big gummit" telling people what to eat? Not a chance.

I remember when California moved to ban soda vending machines in schools. Sean Hannity was apoplectic at "big gummit" telling kids what to drink.
Hannity for POTUS: pure in blood and faith...just what MAGA wants.

This is the road Obamacare put us on.
If taxpayers are subsidizing your health care, then they have every right to demand that you honor the investment.

Finally…… something we can agree on, though my guess is that righties could equally profit from the advice.
For those wondering what Dope is talking about, it’s a measurement of the ability of your lungs and heart to shove oxygen into your bloodstream. The higher your VO2 Max, the better your chances of living longer.
“Norwegian 4x4s”- a specific form of interval training- and it beats walking or even jogging for upping your aerobic capacity, and can be accomplished in a fraction of the time.
Look it up if you’re curious.

In the minds of the mob, it doesn't work that way. Try to take medicare treatment away from elderly MAGAs because of the poor diet and lifestyle choices they made over the years, and watch what happens. In 2020, imagine if a MAGA's health insurance refused to pay for treatment for Covid, because he refused to wear a mask, or stay away from other people. I ran into that attitude a lot when I worked at Radio Shack: people trying to get stuff repaired free. no matter how much they abused the product.

From data I’ve seen the highest obesity rates are in W Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama.
Lowest in Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, California. And DC if it were a state.

Also, Senators need to put a condom on every man that has sex tonight.
After all, if you will be on Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance, the STD cant cost the rest of us money.
Look up your Senator fellas and decide if that appeals to you.
There's no shortage - Right and Left - on wanting to nanny others.
