I'm waiting for the U.N. to tell us all we have to prevent volcanos from erupting because they cause climate change. So, asbestos diapers for all potential volcanos, including Yellowstone! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I do appreciate the imagery of a volcano wearing a diaper, but in this day and age wouldn't an N85 mask be more appropriate?
:lol:

Looks like this may happen to all of us depending on who is elected to be the next President. Trump or DeSantis may keep this from happening to the United States, but it is scary enough just to know it COULD happen sooner rather than later.

If we complain about Fear mongering from the left regarding Climate change and Covid we shouldn't embrace it on the right imo. COULD it happen? Sure, in a few hundred years. I will give the odds of it happening in the next 8 years about the same as an asteroid destroying Earth.

Maybe 10% of the US, the most powerful country in the world, would currently be in favor of it so how exactly will it go down?
If you look at Afghanastan and Ukraine, how can you still say we are the most powerful country in the world? Who sits in the oval office matters.

Far less powerful with Biden in office but still the most powerful in spite of him.

Great exchange here. I'm also commend the obviously liberal question asker for attending a conservative event and being willing to have a civilized discourse.

The fundamental flaw with modern liberalism is they focus on trying to change other people's views in order to make life better for themselves (pay off my student debt for example) instead of focusing all of that effort on just working hard within the current system, a system that while obviously not perfect, rewards people that work hard and excel at what they do. Its actually a far easier path and clearly far more gratifying.

Its like with criminals. They put so much effort in coming up with schemes to illegally get rich. Apply that effort to legal pursuits and they would get much richer much more easily and as an added bonus will never go to prison. Its mind bogging.

Like AOC demanding we pay off her $17,000 student loan (for an Economics degree!) when she makes more than ten times that in one year!
