It is this far-sighted thinking that allows the American economy to perform much better than ours.

Also the massive stimulus programs deployed during Covid to ensure recovery more quickly after vaccines were finally developed and released helped quite a bit.

The inflation reduction act is the single largest investment in addressing climate change ever across all of human history… so far… and dividends are beginning already

Your claims don’t even rise to the threshold of being wrong. They’re not even wrong. They’re ridiculous.

the solar eclipse on Monday 8 April will also mark the end of the world

I think the last end of the world was scheduled on a Friday so thankfully expected attire was just business casual that day.

once they realized how much people were willing to pay for a place to stay in the eclipse path

There are apparently 2300 cities in North America along the path of totality. This animation shows how many short-term rentals have been booked in those cities through Airbnb and Vrbo in the days leading up to tomorrow.

Gouge pricing and unscrupulous ignoring of valid contracts are sure to be rampant. Thankfully the lady renting us our space did not (in fact, she left a great 11x16 poster about totality in her state on the table for us as a gift to take home and potentially frame)

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Me too. Was overcast when I drove my very young children to see the 2017 one. 

Lucky enough to live in the path of totality? Traveling?

Bringing special gear? Cool telescopes or lenses?

Any pinhole colanders or manually cut out shapes for crescent shaped shadows?

Convinced it’ll be cloudy, overcast, and raining?  🤣 ☀️ 🌙

who is the arbiter of what is valid discussion, and what is conspiracy theory

Those who wield the power and who shape the info in our feeds get to decide. It’s a modern take on history being written by the victors, where today victory is measured by likes, shares, views, and impressions.

new attitude permeating the Western world; that whatever you 'feel' cannot be wrong, and to even mention it can be offensive and you need 'protection' from other's opinions.

I agree. The political right and maga-class has been getting beyond ridiculous in ostracizing people who refuse to tow the party line and repeat the lies, casting out anyone deemed to be "others." It demands a level of purity nobody can ever maintain, and it's pretty sad that their views can't hold up to even remedial scrutiny. 

Is just spam for the link in OP

We know from NDE-ers who ar not attached to their body anymore that they can confirm that they experience 'everything at once'. They experience no time.

A brain death event within us mostly hairless apes, a lack of cortical oxygen leading to the sensation of dissociative consciousness, is not the same thing as "no time" or "time doesn't exist."

There is no time

Time is just another word for length. Length clearly exists as a formal context of study, even though you cannot touch or smell it. Your philosophical position here is self-evidently absurd to the point of laughable.

In my opinion <...> In my opinion

Nobody need care about your opinion since it's so clearly unblemished by enlightenment or understanding. 

People supporting Trump just need to direct all funding to Kennedy (and/or Jill Stein and/or Cornell West). Much higher ROI than giving Trump more money for lawyer fees and gold sneakers.

Every vote those also-rans siphon off at the polls is another dagger reducing Bidens chances of helping us avoid the arrival of a fascist self-serving Justice department weaponizing grievance machine that pushes the global balance of power even more toward the violent autocrats. 

See, now you’ve gone and tainted it.
