And the really funny part about this is that the farmers were actually doing fairly well. Soybean exports to China were one of the few areas where the US was gaining in trade. Until the Mango Mussolini decided that "Trade wars are easy to win." So much winning.

I try to steer clear of those as they're typically no better than mental masturbation. Maybe later.

back to the subjuct of FEAR. I truly believe we will come together and embrace nuclear power one day. We will have come fulll circle. From the depths of the psychotic Cold War,the insanity of Mutual Assured Destruction,and all out thermonuclear war. To a place where the benifits to humanity and our environment can equally be embraced and celebrated.

Yeah it’s funny one of my Grandmas is the most supportive, although she would never even consider a jump. Blows my mind that my roommates who dirt bike/ rock crawl (rock buggys) and race cars claim that skydiving is sketchy (definitely is a little) but I’ve had friends die in the other sports we partake in, even still knowing the risk. I’m just sick of the reminders of Eric Roner or whomever. I take great precautions and read the Uspa manual during work breaks lol I’m over preparing for a malf I’m always trying to learn as much as I can.

Did the reddit quote help? like a crossfire, sabre, and kitana had a baby and it was more fun than all 3. :)

It’s hard to be afraid of someone who begins her sentences with “like”

Resulting in shrinking deserts and growing food production.

Source? As far as scientists predicting eminent disaster? How about James Hanson, Paul Ehrlich and Michael Mann?

Nothing I have put forward is my opinion, it is all well documented. For the last three decades we have been promised eminent disaster unless drastic measures were taken, yet no measures were taken and CO2 has risen even faster than the most dire predictions. Results? A big nothing burger. I will simplify yet again: No increase in the number, intensity or duration of floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes or wildfires. Try to wrap your brains around that little inconvenient truth.

There is ‘way’ too much emphasis on landing into the wind. Landing into the wind is not a landing priority. The number one priority is avoiding canopy collisions and having to do a crosswind landing so that no one crosses paths is by far the preferable option. So your consideration should not be which way sets me up to land into the wind. It should be which way sets me up to not run into someone and die.

No it can't happen because of reality.

Yes yes, disaster is always just right around the corner yet it never seems to arrive. Polar bears, the Great Barrier Reef, summer Arctic sea ice, the Maldives, tornadoes, floods, droughts, wildfires, famine, hurricanes, desertification, acne, male sterility, war, cats and dogs living together on and on and on. Net net the social cost of fossil fuels is negative,(a negative cost is a positive for those who did not go to business school) and the downside is largely imaginary. On a side note Governor Cuomo cited the climate as a reason why people were fleeing NY for TX and FL. If climate change was a problem wouldn't folks be moving in the OTHER direction?

Not really, the green new deal is predicated on the notion that there will be an explosion of innovation and advances in green energy technology. Physics and math say otherwise.

The green new deal

It not a matter of what may come, it's a matter of what is right here, right now. Everywhere wind and solar have been widely adapted, electricity prices have risen significantly. Germany 51% from 2006-2016, California 24% from 2011-2017, Denmark 100% since 1995 (when they began to shift to wind). People are suffering now. https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/369386-germany-shows-how-shifting-to-renewable-energy-can-backfire
