I pay $30,780.00 a year for health insurance, with a max out of pocket of $18,500.00 (not including copays at the counter), for the missus and I, so you'll have to excuse me if I seem unmoved that you're losing your free healthcare, that somehow I also pay for.
In 1972, this Stanford professor put a marshmallow in front of 4-year-olds with a simple choice:
Eat it now, or wait 15 minutes and get two.
Then he tracked them for 40 years.
What he discovered shocked everyone and changed our understanding of success forever:
@elonmusk The difference between Elon and Zelensky wearing a t-shirt to the oval office was that Zelensky was begging for $350 billion from us and Elon was recovering $350 billion for us
A minor detail
Just a gentle reminder that in the 73 days since Helene ZERO REPORTERS from CNN have come to #WNC to cover:
a) People living in tents in the snow.
b) FEMA lying about delivering temporary homes by Thanksgiving.
c) The NC National Guard leaving #WNC.
Not a single one.
Hi again, Mike. 👋
Let’s go over this for what’s now a third time. Maybe it will sink in.
The Greenland ice sheet contains about 2.9 million gigatons (Gt) of ice. 🧊
Using the conversion factor that 1 Gt = 1 billion tons, this means that the ice sheet has roughly 2.9 million billion tons of ice.
Oh yes, math is involved!!
Now, if the ice sheet is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour, that would work out to 720 million tons of ice lost per day and a net 262.8 billion tons per year. 🫠
Here’s the math, 🫳
-30 million tons × 24 hr. (1 day) × 365 days (1 year) = -262.8 billion tons / year
262.8 billion tons of ice lost per year?
Oh my, that sounds scary! 😱
That is, of course, until you realize that at the current rate, it would take more than 11,035 years for the entire Greenland ice sheet to melt.
🏔️ ➡️ ⛰️ = >10 millennia
Let’s do more math to confirm this.
2.9 million billion tons / (262.8 billion tons / year) ≈ 11,035 years.
Now, what would this mean for sea level rise (SLR)? 🌊
Well, according to NASA, for every 360 Gt (or 360 billion tons) of ice lost, the global average sea level rises by about 1 millimeter (mm).
🔗 https://t.co/PmUG8Xi5nm…
If 262.8 billion tons of ice is lost per year, that would mean sea level rises at a rate of 0.73 mm (~0.03 in) / year from loss of Greenland ice alone. 📏
Ignoring Antarctica, this would cause the global average sea level to rise about 1 ft. every ~417.5 years.
Now, the rate of ice loss could accelerate or decelerate depending on other factors (e.g., natural variability or positive / negative climate feedbacks), but it’s clear from these back of the envelope calculations that you are hyperventilating over nothing.
This is a very manageable problem.
So is your climate anxiety.
Just stop parroting WEF propaganda and go touch grass.
There are still people who believe real butter, enjoyed by humans for 10,000 years, will clog your arteries—but ultra-processed canola oil, barely 50 years old, is somehow “heart healthy.” It’s time to stop trusting the “experts” and believe common sense.
Butter is better!
🚨ERIC TRUMP SPOTTED AT THE MASSIVE TRUMP BOAT PARADE!
Eric isn't on some big yacht, he's on a normal sized boat with many friends.
...A true MAN OF THE PEOPLE!
Kamala doesn't have people throwing boat parades for her!
Kamala definitely wouldn't want you to share this!
This guy went into a Kamala Harris event with a Trump shirt on and then to a Trump event with a Kamala shirt on
The difference in the way he was treated is just jaw-dropping
I’m going to make my stance abundantly clear.
I don’t care who she slept with. Don’t care about her laugh, I am not going to dehumanize her or disrespect her based on her personal life. Who doesn’t have a past and she is grown. Don’t care if she is too Black for some and not Black enough for others.
My decision not to even consider her is based solely on the following:
- She created a bail fund for rioters in 2020 who destroyed cities to push a politics agenda. That is terrorism and she helped them skate instead of condemning them.
- She supported two propositions in CA that exacerbated crime and made it incredibly difficult to for law enforcement to stop crime. As well as No Cash Bail, even against the will of California voters. Which also put Californians in danger.
- She was tasked with solving the border crisis. She only went to the border because she was pressured and all she did was peek at it to find “root causes”. Which is progressive code for “I ain’t gonna do 💩 about this.”
- She engages in race baiting and fear mongering. Which lets me know she has zero solutions to the many issues American’s are facing right now.
- She is even farther left than Joe Biden.
That’s why. I don’t believe she is ready to lead and her politics will slide America further down the crapper.
Not because she is a woman. I would gladly and without pause vote for a woman for president. Some of the greatest leaders I ever worked for were women. Just can’t vote for this one because of who she, is not her gender.
Has nothing to do with her race. I’m always proud when I see Black people elevate. I don’t just want any Black person. I don’t care about color when it comes to leadership. I just want the leader best capable to lead.
It’s amazing that the most popular ticket in American history is considering stepping down both candidates for someone new months before the next election. I mean when you get more votes than any other ticket in the history of America it would be kind of hard to start over 4 years later.
If only there was a logical explanation as to how this is even possible. We all know that the election was the safest in history because the people who won told us that so it’s got to be something else.
I’m guessing whoever steps in next will get the most votes ever even more with zero campaign because that is entirely possible.
Hi again Mike. 👋
The Greenland ice sheet is estimated to contain 2.9 million gigatons (Gt) of ice, or 2.9 million billion tons. 🧊
If the ice sheet is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour, that works out to 720 million tons of ice per day and 262.8 billion tons of ice per year. 🫠
That sounds pretty scary until you do the math and find that it would take a little over 11,035 years for the entire ice sheet to melt at current melt rates. But, we will likely be well on our way into the next glacial maxima by then, so the ice sheet isn’t going anywhere.
Has global warming melted your vanilla ice cream any? 🍦
JUST IN: Crowd starts cracking up after Ben Shapiro breaks Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell's brain after he asked a question about Project 2025.
Swalwell: "How much do you support Project 2025?"
Shapiro: "Like President Trump, I haven't looked all that deeply at Project 2025, but it seems that Democrats on this committee are sort of like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. If they say Project 2025, enough, their presidential candidate becomes alive again."
Brutal.
