Think about that when Trump gets re-elected in 2020.

The Republicans say there is no such thing as Global Warming. The Democrats say the opposite. Trump does what he can to increase CO2 by lower fuel mileage and raising coal mining employment. Thanos will have to run the experiment in real time on the two Earths to determine who is wronger, Democrats or Republicans. From the article "Domino-effect of climate events could push Earth into a ‘hothouse’ state":
Quote:www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/aug/06/domino-effect-of-climate-e
“I do hope we are wrong, but as scientists we have a responsibility to explore whether this is real. We need to know now. It’s so urgent. This is one of the most existential questions in science.”

Nope. Not into Hollywood schlock, and I go out of my way not to support any of them. I'd say that's one of the reasons I'm not poor, but truth be told I could have watched it for quite a while on KODI for free and still I can't be bothered with it.

Thanos won't take any of my calls. Maybe you 1%'ers might have better luck reaching him.

Do you care that Trump is also working to repeat the crash of 2008, which affected you? It was a great opportunity for me to buy stocks cheap, half price sale, but maybe it was bad for your job history, leaving years-long gaps in your employment.

Trump is assuming that none of the safeguards added to prevent another 2008 crash are necessary. He is working as fast as he can to remove all the safeties that might slowdown profitability. If there is another crash, Trump will do what Bush did, rescue the banks and rich with Federal money. 6ixStringJack doesn't need rescue. He can look after himself so I don't expect him to care about another crash.

Quote:You should laugh. The stock market drops, followed by you becoming unemployed. The rich appear to become poorer, too, but the smart ones have cash to buy the cheap stocks that crashed. The smart ones end up richer than before the crash, once the market recovers in a few years. And what about the unemployed and you? After years of not working, they are poorer and will stay poorer for life because of stock market crashes. The beauty of the system engineered by the GOP is that crashes are profit opportunities available only to the rich. And crashes keep wages low, which is also great news for the rich employers. It is a win-win for the rich and a lose-lose for you.

Quote:Of course I care. But there is life after Trump, who will only be on office 4 or 8 years, while this problem has been going on for over 50 years under Dems and Repubs alike.
So, you don't care that Trump is working as hard as he can to burn the Earth, with him operating under the assumption that CO2 can't possibly do what scientists suspect it can.
Quote:Not really. The ONLY TIMES in recent history, under both Dems and Repubs, when the elite's fraction of wealth actually went down was during crashes. I certainly posted enough of that for you to look at. The elite, under Dems and Repubs, have been using The Fed's cheap money ... money that only the elite have access to ... to rob everyone even further.

Quote:"Over 50 years under Dems and Repubs alike." Signym, do you remember old what's-his-name? I can't even recall. I know you forgot. Oh, it's Al Gore, the famous Democrat! I checked, he is alive. He talked about the greenhouse gas effect, global warming, blah-blah-blah and all the Republicans said it does not exist. Bush's brother, governor of Florida, made sure Gore did not get to act against global warming. As a fact, the entire GOP made sure Obama did not get to act against global warming. Trump increases coal burning and decreases vehicle fuel economy, so we know where Trump is on CO2. Signym, there are two sides on CO2. The Repubs are on one side, the Democrats on the other, but you flat out lied with your "Over 50 years under Dems and Repubs alike."

Syria announced during United Nations climate talks on Tuesday that it would sign the Paris agreement on climate change. The move, which comes on the heels of Nicaragua signing the accord last month, will leave the United States as the only country that has rejected the global pact.

The GOP is dismantling the regulatory system for banks and markets. That would be a bad move. Paul Romer, Economist:
Did you get a chance to look at this looting paper? This is a couple of crises ago. In effect, what [economist George Akerlof and I] showed is that seemingly small weaknesses in your regulatory system can open up enormous risks, and enormous opportunities for private profit. So what it tells you is that under-regulating or mis-regulating is much more dangerous than people generally accept. So I think most economists think of this as kind of, “We’re on the top of a smooth hill. Even if you’ve got it kind of, sort of, right in terms of regulation, you’re fine. A little deviation one side or the other, it won’t really matter.” We were trying to say, “No. It’s like a cliff. You go a little bit over the cliff, in terms of what you allow with your regulatory system, you’re gonna get really terrible outcomes.”
Everybody disliked that paper. After the financial crisis, some people, including Larry Summers, told me they now saw that the looting story captured the reality in a way that they hadn’t recognized before. This is what worries me, people are kind of heading back to the pre-crisis worldview. Regulation is never perfect. You can always kind of complain about imperfections. But I think the kind of weakening, at the behest of the industry, that we’re going through right now should be generating a lot more academic concern than it is generating at the moment. There’s a complacency that’s setting back in. There’s a tolerance now for, oh, maybe let’s err a little bit on the side of under-regulating. You know, how much harm could it cause?
