Better go see the Great Barrier Reef before it disappears!
Actually, you have plenty of time, because coral cover has actually INCREASED in the last 20 years.
More surprising facts here:
NEW: President Trump makes a major promise at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas: $5,000 for every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans win both the House and Senate in the midterms.
“I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.”
@media_thom@homesteader23 It's just going to depend how long the tree has been dead. Think of it like this, whether logged or died from EAB, the clock starts when the tree dies, its starts loosing moisture and becomes susceptible to the elements. If fresh there may be quality on the interior.
@media_thom@homesteader23 20 years inspecting hardwood lumber. There is nothing different about the grain, it's still the same tree. Of course the quality of the wood will be inferior, it's full of worm holes and most likely stained and possibly rotten, which will let it dry faster and split easier.
It's because the boomers debased the value of the dollar with horrendous and pointless deficit spending growing government at the price of liberty and prosperity. I say we chop it all down to size with a severity not seen ever. Milea of Argentina proved horrendous sloth of government can be brought down to size. The next POTUS must do even more.
The IRS is threatening to seize a Tennessee man's farm after charging him interest on a $20,000 refund it accidentally sent him, which he immediately tried to return.
Wilson Perry Kirby, 76, says he was accidentally sent $20,000 by the IRS in 2022.
Kirby immediately tried returning the money and even hired an accountant to fix the issue.
Instead, the IRS is now charging him interest on the money he tried returning and is withholding his 2025 tax refund.
"I've tried the president, governor, mayor. They don't mind asking you to vote for them, but when you need help you can't get ahold of nobody," Kirby said.
Despite trying to fix the problem, the IRS is still sending letters, demanding he pay interest on the money they accidentally sent him that he tried to return. He never spent it.
The IRS is now threatening to seize his farm if he doesn't pay the up to $4300 (and growing) interest.
Infuriating.

@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl Most will never wake up, this is what communist do. Every time they fail, they point to a fall guy and their followers believe them every step of the way, leaving begind a path of total destruction
Today I was reminded I am NOT A FREE MAN.
I got the mail & found my property tax bill.
I paid for my home & owe nothing on it.
Yet, every year I am FORCED to pay higher & higher taxes on something I bought many years ago.
If I refuse to pay, men with guns will throw me in a cage & seize MY PROPERTY & possessions.
But hey that government funded slush fund to pay off r@pe victims from our senators & "representatives" isn't going to fund itself right?!
TAXATION IS THEFT!!!!
We are taxed well over 50% if you add up income tax, property tax, sales tax, fuel tax, etc etc etc!!!
The founders started a rebellion over a 1% tea tax.
We aren't free.
I just wonder when WE THE PEOPLE will have had enough.
🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo
"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."
"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"
"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."
"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"
"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."
"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."
Mic drop.
FOLLOW: @Trustintrump47, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.
We gave you guys the House in 2010 to stop Obama.
You did nothing.
You had the House during Trump’s first term.
You did nothing.
We gave it to you again in 2022 to stop Biden.
You did nothing.
You’ve had it for almost 2yrs in Trump’s second term. You passed a Communist Housing Bill and are kicking around an amnesty for agriculture workers.
Just. Stop.

Observation: As our coffee sales continue to grow I’ve noticed a big shift in the amount bought. People are buying more in bulk and our 5lb purchases have doubled per month due to the rising prices on everything we consume.
Problem: Many of you are buying 5lb bags ground. The difference between the taste of fresh ground coffee to buying it ground can be tasted after a day. The minute you grind coffee it begins breaking down much faster.
Solution: BUY A GRINDER and BUY WHOLE BEAN
How will Stocking Mill Coffee Encourage This?
While 5lb whole bean bags are already cheaper than 5lb ground we will have a sale on 5lb bags (WHOLE BEAN ONLY) this weekend on our most popular blends.
Also from this point on if you buy a 5lb ground bag you will not receive the coolest decal going out with orders, but instead the decal of shame.

Democratic Socialists are WINNING.
They’ve won 30+ primaries this year! They’re on track for 5 seats in Congress.
Crazy!
We're told socialism is for the working class.
But Stossel TV Fellow Leyla Taghiyeva reports on how socialism's biggest promoters are PRIVILEGED:
