That settles it. We are all going to die!

This may have somewhat to do with our personal perspectives. The only measure that really matters is not the nominal wealth of a nation and not even per capita wealth, but the mean standard of living in the lowest wealth quartile in a nation, and ultimately in the lowest wealth quartile of all...

As I understand it two mentally ill people enjoyed each others company. If that were in the asylum then it is harmless to the rest of us and perhaps beneficial to each of them. It wasn't in the asylum however, and one of them is the President of the United States. We should all be alarmed...

I only today found out who this Kanye character is. But clearly he is ill, as in Trump. The difference is that Kanye is not running the country. Hiring , firing people. Lying constantly. Creating ill feelings among our steadfast allies. Trying to negotiate by bullying his counter party...

yes.

typically high value pine timber to be milled into dimensional lumber is destroyed by a direct hit from this kind of storm. It may still be good for pulpwood after, but that depends largely on access to a mill that will take it. And the price will be very low because of over supply. A company...

I am extremely gratified to read this and I sincerely hope you are right.

We seem to have entered a new era where information, misinformation and disinformation are on a level playing field. I find this a bit concerning. Deep knowledge, experience, and leadership skills we might seek may prove to be superfluous if one has first to get elected. Perhaps we will be...

agreed. Although we should perhaps be willing to accept the sampling methods claimed by the professionals to produce a result not statistically different from the representative mean position of "everyone". They presumably have honed their methods and have a measure of their reliability. So...

Apparently there are.

The polls showed Kavanaugh highly unpopular, I believe the lowest popularity for supreme court candidate since polling began. That didn't change. But as far as handicapping his chances of being confirmed and voted in goes, I think everyone was long. Virtually everyone thought the chance of...

This opinion piece has been written at least 2 years prematurely. The damage Trump has done won't be evident for a number of years. A great nation has tremendous inertia. Once you've championed a criminal demagogue as the leader of your nation, how many years is it until the mistake is...

It is not a question of legality. It is a question of what will produce the most accurate census. I don't take a stand here, but I think if there is a reason that the question was dropped, and there must have been, then the first step is to know exactly why it was dropped and is the reasoning...

That is of course the concern, but practical experience tells us it is an unfounded concern. Germany will do better still with a common bond as will all the eurozone countries. Does Alberta or British Columbia do worse because there is a Quebec. Do Connecticut and California do any worse...

Not on yours apparently. :D

I doubt she is going to turn them over to the press. I wouldn't, would you? The first step would be for the FBI to ask her if she will, so long as they are kept confidential. And they are not going to ask apparently. Maybe you should write the FBI and complain. :D

You have forgotten that the investigation was started in the first place to investigate Russia's role in the 2016 election. The goal was not to go after Trump. Because Mueller had a green light to go wherever his investigation led. I was virtually certain, and I have now been shown to have been...

Don't be ridiculous. I have no party affiliations and if i did it wouldn't be a blind affiliation.

In my opinion the Russian interest was in trying to get Trump elected. I don't think harming Ms Clinton was an objective, that was just a side-effect, a happy one from the Russian viewpoint. They knew they had enough information on Trump because of all his money laundering activities for...
