Climate extremes? ?? LMAO.......LMAO...... You could probably get a resident visa, but you might not like our climate extremes: -5 F to 100 F in a good year. The ticks are an xtra bonus. That's why they call this "the south(almost)" ... because our climate extremes are more gentile. But still larger than Rattys'.

[ Snip ] Climate change: Australian students skip school for mass protestwww.bbc.com/news/world-australia-46380418You could probably get a resident visa, but you might not like our climate extremes: -5 F to 100 F in a good year. The ticks are an xtra bonus. But the power is cheap ... and if we get desperate we can burn corn. PS - At least Bernie Madoff with the cash ... for awhile. Stolen from another place: Truth.
Sharing- ”To all the school kids going on "strike" for climate change.. You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom. You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised. You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic. You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and replace perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy. Your scooters and skateboards are increasingly... electric! Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport. The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed. How about this... tell your teachers to switch off the air-con. Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book. Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured goods. No, none of this will happen because you are uneducated, selfish, virtue signalling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a "noble cause" while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.”

Such habits are progressive ... until unavoidable(?) disruptions reset the consumption - perception equation. What percent of young synapses would then fry/short circuit? Of course, my parents said the same thing about my generation in the initial early boom following the last turning. They were likely correct as us boomers set in motion (along with improved consumption engineering) a new level of consumption, which will likely continue until it doesn't. The "insecurity" that that engenders will fill a lot of safe spaces ... aka cemeteries? Would this be a falsification of your "alright in the end and, if not, then not the end" proverb Ratty?

I put this here as it is really an international piece by Pointman - it is really worth a read. "The Misrepresentation of the People Act.
For the last three decades or so, there’s been a phony war going on. Whichever democracy you happen to live in, you’re involved, but your role in it is purely confined to being a football kicked around between the two sides. The two sides in question doing the kicking are the two political parties which broadly style themselves as right or left of some notional line through the no-mans-land middle ground between them. The actual names vary from country to country; Republican or Democrat, Conservative or Labour, Liberal or Labor. There are always a few tiddler or schism parties wandering aimlessly around the political edges going nowhere accompanied by nothing other than their own strident outrage at something or another, but the essential shape is two big mainline parties, or in some cases as in Germany, comfortable coalitions of such long-standing that they might as well be one party anyway. They effectively take it in turns to run the country........"

Why do North African migrants treck across Europe to try to get to UK often risking their lives? ?
