... Why it matters: The affected areas span from coast to coast and include tens of millions of people living in two of the most populous states " California and Florida.

- - - Homeowner's insurance rates in some of these areas could start to become unaffordable as climate change fuels an increase in destructive storms.

@#6 ... He did run to Canada to dodge the draft in South Africa....

I did not know that.

Found this ...

@#85 ... Jeff's still miffed RCADE banned his former handle ...

Yeah, that may be correct.

But what I also saw when I ran a message board, is that a person who creates one additional alias, will likely create more additional aliases.

The ethical leap to that first false alias seemed to be the big hurdle. After that, other alias seemed to come easily.

But that is just my experience, nothing more.

@#86 ... If Trump threatened me, I'd make changes too. ...

Yeah. There's that donation and meeting ...

@#2 ... President Musk ...

Yeah, Mr Musk seems to be using his billions as some manner of equivalence of votes for him.

Stated differently, and more simply, in Mr Musk's view, apparently...

Money = Power.

Sadly, I remain to be convinced that he is wrong.

Especially with the current upcoming administration that seems to sell itself to the highest bidder.

.

So, apparently, Mr Musk is not trying only to affect Pres-elect Trump, but he seems to have aims with the rest of the free world?

... The first Monday of the new year got off to a choppy start, with European leaders accusing a billionaire citizen of a friendly nation of intervening in the continent's democratic processes. ...

OK, back in March 1980, DXY was valued at 93.whatever.

Now is is valued at 109.whatever.

So, without more details, I do not understand the comment posted.

And what will Mr Musk's DOGE think of spending that money?

Wow.

Another view ...

@#153 ... Is there a single poster from CA on this site who doesn't use the term "red state --------"?

I doubt it.

But that seems to be to point of comments here.

It is not about one party or the other having absolute rule.

It is about protecting Americans.

@#82 ... I agree with Zuckerberg's rationale for making this change. I agree with everything he said. ...

OK, let's start there.

... However, I don't trust he was being honest. Given his track record. ...

I do not disagree.

Mr Zuckerburg seems to have one purpose and one purpose only, like the many billionaires who have trekked to Mar-A-Lago to kiss Pres-elect Trump's ample derriere.

... The "fact checkers" were coordinating with and acting at the behest of the Obama/Biden/Harris regime. ...

Yeah, I've seen that assertion many times on some news sites. But one thing that I have not seen with those assertion is any manner of evidence to substantiate them.

So, what's yer current alias got?

@#4 ... hat report cost a lot of money. The people that paid for it should get to see it. ...

Yes.

But the release of the report should go through the Judicial process.

Yeah, Mr Zuckerburg apparently kissing the ring, or, more likely, the most ample derriere of Pres-elect Trump.

... In a December order, Suffolk County Superior Court Judge Helene Kazanjian said penalties stem from marketing practices between 2012 and 2016 by HealthMarkets and its two subsidiaries, The Chesapeake Life Insurance Company and HealthMarkets Insurance Agency, which were found to violate the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act.

The ruling follows a non-jury trial to assess damages after the companies were already deemed liable. ...

@#17 ... Dishonest dumb. ...

How so?

@#218 ... Lamp threw in the towel with his little quip. Done with that ------ for a while. ...

Aside from the slur ...

Oh, how with I ever survive? :D

But more curious to me is an apparent ganging together of some aliases this evening.

Coordinated?

I've not a clue.

@#213 ... Lamp deflected to how he is clueless about how state government works. ...

Did I?

Or does your current alias just disagree with the post?

@#201 ... You can sniff my butt all night. ...

I do notice that your current alias still has not answered the simple question I asked in my #1776 ...

So, your current alias seems to be saying that the GOP in California cannot even submit a bill in the California legislature?

Why?

@#200 ... Its obvious. ...

Then state it, instead of deflecting to another topic in your current alias' comment.

@#10 ... I wouldn't begin to suggest I know Trump's motives but Trump's past actions indicate he wants to see the US be more self reliant. ...

So, you seem to admit that Pres-elect-Trump has not a clue about the size of Greenland.

And that he just seems to want the US wealthy to be able mine the natural resources of Greenland.

@#7 ... My point is you're dumb if you think Trump doesn't know flat maps distort the size of continents. ...

You say that as if you know it as a fact.

But I've not yet seen any indication that Pres-elect Trump has a clue about the distortions of the Mercator projection.

What's yer got?

@#3

Yeah, I had thought about posting a link to the 5th Dimension tune, "Age of Aquarius" (from the 1967 musical play, Hair) but I decided against it because I thought that such a post would reduce the scientific accuracy of the main article for this thread.

@#196 ... You're cute. ...

Why thank-you.

Others have told me similar.

But, that deflection aside, what answer does your current alias have to the question I posed in #177?
