I think this world is going to kill itself with stupidity. I am very sorry for the state of this world and wish there was something I could do about it. I hope I do not have to pay for every ones mistakes.

I guess the rising dollar must be part of Global Warming even though it's because we print money without gold and silver to back it up with then spend away like a drunken sailor. :p

That's actually how dollar bills came out as paper greenbacks: They were used as long as the government had gold and silver to back up the value or otherwise the value will drop and prices will rise as your paper money becomes worthless overnight.

That pizza you order for your party will be twice as high next year at this time and even four times higher if we have hyper-inflation..

In Germany when their dollar fell people had wheel-barrows filled with cash to buy a loaf of bread.

150 years ago there were Zero mega cities like New York, Paris, Rome, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Sao Paolo, Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai (insert big city name all over world here) etc…Zero of the resources needed to build these cities had been extracted and transported…Zero of the energy needed to make these places livable had been produced…there was zero flight activity (now at 40,000 flights per day), near zero deforestation, zero industrial agriculture, zero major transportation systems, near zero fossil fuel use, zero plastics, zero pesticides, minimal man made pollutants etc, etc, etc

It really blows my mind how these massive changes that have occurred on the earths surface in the past short time span due to the human trajectory can be swept under the rug as inconsequential in the closed loop test tube that is our life giving very thin skin called atmosphere…Can we really feel confident in believing that the changes we are experiencing now are within the same pattern that has always existed in nature since time immemorial even though our recent past has been so dramatically different than everything that has occurred before…Scientific forecasting and political debate aside, is this really a logical conclusion?
