Re: Climate Change & The Environment

I am almost sorry I brought it up.

Here, read this and reach your own conclusions. I'm not sure I agree entirely with the author, but then he is an expert.

Re: Climate Change & The Environment

Petey, This is something I wonder about over the longer term. The college-educated, sophisticated, successful professional women and men living in the dense urban areas today are not getting married and not having children. So their genes are disappearing from the human gene pool. Since they are con...

Re: 2020 Elections - A Hope and Change Election

How can any politician even bring up free college when our current "free" education results in this? https://nsf.gov/nsb/sei/edTool/data/highschool-06.html https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cnb.asp Why the F isn't this the focus? Statistically, only half of those who go to college...

Re: Hunter Biden Corruption - Important and Meaningful issue

Not really related except the discussion is about upstate NY. Was up there this past week to get a few days vacation. Driving around I couldn't help but see the difference in the farms in NY compared to here in western PA. Where the fracking is going on here in PA the farms have updated and upgraded...

Re: Climate Change & The Environment

fan, my guess would be 95% will complain, maybe 5% will try to do something about it. Very few will change their lifestyle to any great affect. Red, I too am trained in science. Only a moron would say climate change doesn't exist. The climate has been changing from one extreme to another for a lot l...

Re: Climate Change & The Environment

My question is this: all these kids are going to skip school every Friday until climate change is stopped. (Actually heard a young girl stating pretty much that this is the plan.) So the question, how will they know when enough has been done and they can go back to school? What are the markers? Are ...

Re: Climate Change & The Environment

Meanwhile, back at the bird story, this has been a growing issue for years. But it too is controversial. They either are, or are not, the reason for the decline in birds. More study is needed!!

Re: Climate Change & The Environment

Why would you post a story about the decline of birds without mentioning the four leading causes of annual bird deaths? The stories I have read in the past week mention habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. No mention of cats or windows (cat lovers argue that windows kill more), wind turbine...

Oops, now the NYT is walking the story back. Is there no smear they will not use just to protect abortion rights? Should every Dem candidate who came out over the weekend and smeared Kavanaugh apologize for it?

Oh, this is over a year old, so it must be out of date.

What is extreme is the 24 hour report everything in sight mentality we have.

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition

Just read a good story, that if Medicare spends $1.00 for home-delivered meals to Medicare recipients just released from the hospital, they can save $1.57 on each $1.00 spent. This is like magic. My suggestion is that they get out of the medical field all together and go into the food home delivery ...

So on the radio this AM was the story about R Kelly being arrested for the same perverted behavior (underage forced sex). But what caught my ear was the comment about how many of his supporters surround the courthouse. At least we don't see anyone supporting Epstein (other than his own lawyers of co...

Re: 2020 Elections - Off and Running

So how many actually work two jobs? Listening to the debates, it must be a lot. But Bureau of Labor Statistics data show only a small minority of Americans work multiple jobs. That percentage has been around 5% of working Americans since 2010, though it was higher before then. Last month 7.6 million...
