RE: Nashville School Shooting - 6 dead, shooter is a woman
Because it would stop the next gal that wants to commit mass murder.

RE: Why our efforts at climate change are for naught.
@89th said in Why our efforts at climate change are for naught.:
Think about it, the warmer the climate gets, the sooner their country becomes green.
Yes, there are so many benefits to global warming.
It is too bad you only hear about the bad stuff.

More Chinese nukes on the way
Why would China triple its nuclear warhead stockpile?
Air Force secretary says he's seen nothing 'more disturbing' in 50-year career than this move by China
Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall compares China's nuclear threat to Russia's during Cold War
China's expansion of its nuclear arsenal is the most "disturbing" development that Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall has seen in his decades-long career, he told lawmakers on Tuesday.
Kendall made the statement during a hearing before the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday. Kendall, with a 50-year U.S. military and defense career, says China's development into a top-level nuclear power is a major issue.
"I don't think I've seen anything more disturbing in my career than the Chinese ongoing expansion of their nuclear force," Kendall told lawmakers.
"For decades, they were quite comfortable with an arsenal of a few hundred nuclear weapons, which was fairly clearly a second-strike capability to act as a deterrent," Kendall stated. "That expansion that they're undertaking puts us into a new world that we've never lived in before, where you have three powers — three great powers, essentially — with large arsenals of nuclear weapons."

RE: Should the US House of Representatives Have more People?
More people in congress just means more people to bribe.
It's better to cut the size.

@Copper said in Trump: "I have a plan...":
His plan has consistently been to make America great again.
I see no reason for this to change.
So how’s that been working out for you?
Fine

RE: He's right
Congress makes laws.
Why would anyone think a law against owning guns would be any more effective than a law against committing murder?
I guess if you had someone who was really good at making laws it could work.

You want to see CO2 in China?
Just wait until the shooting starts.

RE: Nashville School Shooting - 6 dead, shooter is a woman
@Copper said in Nashville School Shooting - 6 dead, shooter is a woman:
NYT says a 28-year-old woman
I can't imagine the Times being wrong about that
I guess it is possible she was a male at some time before the shooting
I wasn't being serious.
Fox news says "Transgender" on the top of the front page.
The police say " transgender".
ABC says transgender.
CNN never mentions it.

RE: Black Talk
The republican party is broken.
How could Mr. Trump possibly end up as the nominee?
I'm not conceding it yet, but that is where it appears to be headed.
There should be several dozen well-qualified candidates lined up and ready to go - none over the age of 70.

RE: Doing nothing is the biggest threat to SS
@George-K said in Doing nothing is the biggest threat to SS:
works out to be about the same.
If I wait until age 70, the break even point is around age 83.
By starting at 69 years and 2 months, the break even will still be in my 80s.
Of course it matters what you do with that time. Collecting a little extra money at age 85 doesn't help much if you can't do what you want with it.
Like any insurance scheme it is important to know exactly when you will die, many years in advance.

That's pretty gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.
Yes, it is. Thanks for the heads up.
So I clicked the 3-dots at the top and found this, and turned it off:
Now I get this, much more hetero:

RE: Doing nothing is the biggest threat to SS
I intended to wait until age 70 to maximize my SS income.
But now I think I'll start 10 months before the max. It's not a big deal, just a small hedge against the unspeakable.
