1800/yr, which makes my desktop hurt so much it goes into scientific mode with a e-6. So small a percentage it barely registers. Average homicides by year in the US for past five year is ~19,232. So murders by police account for about 9% of that. If our priority is stopping homicides, shouldn't we be going after the bigger fish?

I had annoying roommates when I was younger, and then got a one bedroom apartment for myself, which had higher rent of course, but then other neighbors in the building annoyed me. Some were cool that I got along with. But it's a crapshoot, people come and go and some are cool and some are crazy. I was willing to pay more to buy a house with land around it. It does cost more than renting but not by a lot. Of course I did it years ago before interest rates went up which effects a lot.

Right now I'd recommend to someone to rent with a bunch of roommates to pay as little as possible, save money, buy a house if/when rates and prices go down, that may be in a few years. I predicted before this election to help biden but I'm not sure on that.

It there was unfettered capitalism then there would be a building boom to capitalise on the high prices and demand and then prices would go down. That's not happening because building is restricted by politicians who own property and don't want to see a price drop

It's not that they can't afford it, it's that they can't justify the cost.

If you actually sit down and work out what a house will cost you once you've paid for it and the interest and the repairs then renting is cheaper at the moment, no matter how much people moan about it.

Houses simply aren't worth what they cost in most places and are only worth buying for investment. A hell of a lot of landlords rent themselves.

16 water monopolies have paid out a total of £78bn in dividends, as Thames Water teeters on the brink by Cancelthis in Socialism

[–]Cancelthis[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Since the 1990s, investment by the 10 largest water and sewage companies has fallen by 15%. Now new research published by the Financial Times has found that 16 water monopolies have paid out a total of £78bn in dividends in the 32 years since privatisation.

The paper states: “The £78bn payout is nearly half the £190bn the companies spent in the same three decades on infrastructure. The utilities meanwhile chalked up more than £64bn net in debt over the same period, despite being sold at privatisation with no borrowings.”

The FT also finds that water companies in England and Wales paid £2.5bn in dividends and added £8.2bn to their net debt in the two financial years since 2021.

That water companies have paid out a shocking £2.5bn in dividends since 2021, while consumer bills have soared and while they’ve also been pumping sewage into our waterways and allowing infrastructure to crumble, will infuriate many.

News of the dividends payments come as Thames Water, the UK’s largest water company teeters on the brink. It has been given just six weeks to prove to regulator Ofwat that it has as a viable survival plan.

I bought a house in my early 20s (late 2000s). It was a crappy house, but it was a house with a yard and off-street parking. I put some work into fixing it up, but was unable to sell it without losing money thanks to the market crash. So I stayed, watching the neighborhood around me get worse and worse, thanks to an influx of niggers.

I watched cops take down a nigger with a gun on my front sidewalk. An elderly (white) man got mugged in the middle of the afternoon two blocks down. Ghetto neighbors moved in, set up subwoofers in their backyard and played hip hop all hours of the day and night, whether people were actually in their backyard or not. There was a youth center down the street, gangs of roving niglets started kicking in people's doors, spraying graffiti, destroying lawn ornaments, shooting BB guns at houses. I'm not making any of this up, I really wish I was.

Anyway, I digress. When Covid happened I was finally able to sell for a small profit and I got the hell out of town. I found a nice little condo for a reasonable price, but I've been looking at houses again, and the prices are absolutely insane for what is being offered. I honestly don't know if I will ever be able to afford another actual house, and it's depressing as shit.

Government "experts" told farmers, who had only farmed for generations, that they were doing it wrong, and that they could double or triple crop yields by planting seeds closer together. Those crops all failed.

They also ordered farmers to produce steel, which they had no means to produce, so they'd melt down their farm equipment into slag in order to meet their "steel" quota, which would be used to make bridges that would later collapse. But without sparrows to kill bugs, with failed crops due to government farm science, and without farm equipment, they starved to death.

According to NOAA it is 1 foot in the last 100 and 6 inches of that have been in the last 30 years.

10-12 inches in the last 100 years for the US is not the same as a foot globally. Neither is it incompatible with a global mean rise of 8 inches over that time.

They go on to claim another foot in the next 30 years. This will not happen.

How do you know it won't happen?

They claimed that New York would already be under water.

No one claimed that.

"Hur dur global warming exists" is not a valid excuse.

Adaptation is more expensive than amelioration. So we should spend money to ameliorate. Because not doing so will simply cost a lot of money.

Global warming is not an existential threat, it is an inconvenience at best.

This paper was by Yuxin Zhang,Hao Li,Dong Li,Xiyong Hou,Peng Guo & Jiawei Guo. Can you point to where they have been caught lying in the past, please.

and the it's not so people are relentlessly silenced and slandered.

Funny you should mention slander, having just implied that 5 people have been caught lying in the past, without providing any instances. But who do you claim has been silenced and slandered because they said that the sea level was not rising?

The vast majority of sea level rise happened millions of years ago.

I'm not sure what that even means. The sea level rises and falls primarily with the amount of ice sheet on the planet. What happened "millions of years ago", and how are you accounting for sea level rise to say that "the vast majority" of it happened then?

That kind of sea level rise will never happen again because the vast majority of the ice caps have already melted.

There's about 80 metres of sea level rise left in the ice caps. That would displace nearly a third of the world's population. Surely that's of some concern independent of what happened millions of years ago?

The sea level rise propaganda claims that catastrophic sea level rise will happen in the near future

Can you link me to an example of "sea level rise propaganda"? I don't have a sense of "catastrophic sea level rise" or what you mean by "near future".

But when you call out that propaganda everyone starts shifting the goal posts and claiming they did not say that.

In the current example, a study showed that of 13,000 islands nearly 1000 were shrinking and nearly 800 had grown, the growth mostly due to human land filling.

And this has been reported here as "Approximately 13,000 islands around the world have increased land mass over two decades, disproving claims of climate alarmists about rising sea levels".

Explain again which side is pushing out propaganda, because I'm not seeing your point of view.

But an inch over 100 years is not significant.

Sea level rise was ten times that thirty years ago. It has accelerated about 30% since then. Currently it's rising an inch in between 7 and 8 years.

During the last ice age, the concentration of atmospheric CO2 was, on average, 180 ppm. Today it's 423ppm.

The last time it was about 4,000 ppm (which is 10x higher, not 100x higher) was during the Ordovician. That was 500 million years ago, and the surface temperature at that point was an average of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to 59 degrees today.

Why should the forests of Europe be so powerful as to change the world's climate? Isn't that just one of those silly "blame everything bad on white people" tropes? 12% of the world's population on 6.8% of the world's land covering 2% of the surface of the planet and it was the slow and primitive manual labor tree felling that started climate change. That sir, is absurd.

Like I said, the change due to the deforestation of Europe was tiny and not noticable by human beings without instruments. But it was measurable with modern instruments. Why Europe? Just because it was the first continent to be deforested. And losing 1% of the world's trees does change the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in a measurable way.

What is the actual mechanism by which humans control the climate?

Anthropogenic climate change is happening. It's real. The planet is warming and the oceans are rising.

It's also quite slow on the timeline of a single human life. It's not something that "hasn't happened but is going to." It's been happening for centuries and it will continue to happen, so slowly that any given individual person can barely notice it.

It's also global, and therefore our system of national governments is probably profoundly helpless to stop it.

That's a funny game called "moving the goal posts". They define it as one thing to demand immediate and drastic action, then redefine it when it is time to show the facts. The fact is that there is nothing alarming about it. So anyone who is alarmed has been greatly misinformed. Bamboozled.

Sea levels have risen about 8 inches since 1900

Oh rly? According to NOAA it is 1 foot in the last 100 and 6 inches of that have been in the last 30 years. They go on to claim another foot in the next 30 years. This will not happen. When it doesn't happen they will move the goal posts and erase all evidence that they made these claims. And people like you will continue claiming that they are the experts and anyone who does not believe them is (enter every slander and insult). The "authorities" are liars. They claimed that New York would already be under water. They claimed that the Arctic ocean would be ice free by now.

"Hur dur global warming exists" is not a valid excuse. It does not excuse their lies. It does not justify continuing to believe them and demand that everyone believe them. It absolutely does not justify drastic and harmful government policies, including those that simply cost a lot of money.

Global warming is not an existential threat, it is an inconvenience at best. The institutions that we used to rely on to give us the facts have been corrupted and turned against us to implement horribly destructive programs that benefit the oligarchs at the expense of everyone else. Controlling CO2 will not slow down global warming in any meaningful way.

It is so because it is so.

It is so because we can measure it. Sea levels have risen about 8 inches since 1900. That's not an ideology. It's an observation.

The sea level rise propaganda claims that catastrophic sea level rise will happen in the near future, and that is just not true.

It all just depends on how you define "catastrophic" and how you define "near future."

Miami will be suddenly submerged in 2028? No. Ridiculous.

The Maldives won't have any natural land above water by 2150? Yeah, probably.

Because they have.

It is so because it is so.

Except that the it is so people have been caught lying in the past, and the it's not so people are relentlessly silenced and slandered. The vast majority of sea level rise happened millions of years ago. That kind of sea level rise will never happen again because the vast majority of the ice caps have already melted. Miles deep glaciers used to stretch all the way down to what is now Chicago.

The sea level rise propaganda claims that catastrophic sea level rise will happen in the near future, and that is just not true. But when you call out that propaganda everyone starts shifting the goal posts and claiming they did not say that. But an inch over 100 years is not significant.

The Chinese government wanted to reduce the Chinese population. This "oopsie dasie" gave them exactly what they wanted. How convenient.

By 1958 everyone understood that birds eat bugs and bugs are agricultural pests. If the government wanted to create an artificial famine and prepare an excuse that everyone would instantly buy because they all already understand that bugs destroy crops this would be the perfect premise. If they simply said the bugs came out of nowhere people would demand answers and investigations. They would forever be in fear of it happening again. With this story it is one and done. No questions asked. It was just an honest mistake.

I don't think it killed off enough people for the government's liking so they implemented the one child policy.

Here's the actual study:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17538947.2024.2329816

Of over 13,000 islands examined, approximately 12% experienced significant shifts in shoreline positions. The total shoreline length of these islands approaches 200,000 km, with 7.57% showing signs of landward erosion and 6.05% expanding seaward. Human activities, particularly reclamation and land filling, were identified as primary drivers of local shoreline transformations, while natural factors have a comparatively minor impact. Moreover, the ongoing rise in sea levels is identified as an exacerbating factor for coastal erosion rather than the primary cause.

In other words, the study found that between 1990 and 2020, reclamation and land filling had a much larger impact on island size than rising sea levels.

Which is not remotely surprising and certainly doesn't "disprove" claims of rising sea levels. In fact, the study fully accepts that sea levels have risen. Because they have.

I’m not a big warmer.

Let me ask this question. Did the Chinese count the new islands they made/are making in contested areas of the Pacific?

I suspect they did. If so, then the finding about land mass increases is questionable.

Sorry, I disagree with the commie “big warming;” it’s a hoax. But this story needs some “‘splaining.”

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/02/240221213839.htm claims Russia as a whole doesn't benefit from climate change. Who really benefits from denying climate change? Just some oil and gas people? If the world is on fire and they are universally hated, what do they want to do with their money when they can't visit Venice anymore (because it is under water), visit the Rocky Mountains (because of extreme winds), or ski (because there is no snow anymore)?

It's a scientific fact that lowering CO2 concentrations is good for people (or more specifically higher concentrations are bad for concentration). As such, who can possibly be against that? Whether or not it heats up the planet (spoiler alert from the 1890s: it does), is not even relevant.

The claim:

"97% of scientists agree on man-made global warming"

The deboonk:

  • claim based on 12,000 papers
  • 7,930 had no position on the subject, either way
  • 3,896 claimed that humans "contributed to" climate change (how much they "contributed" was not specified)
  • 78 said humans did not contribute to climate change
  • 40 remained undecided
  • the 7,930 papers without a position on the subject, were discarded
  • 12,000 - 7,930 - 78 - 40 = 3,778 => 3,778 / 3,896 x 100 = "97%" 👌😏

I downloaded the article. Nothing in it indicates that data was 'manufactured'.

These claims of fabricated data are entirely from Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, but no source is provided as evidence. (Typical for zerohedge.com, which is a disinformation website.)

Who is Lt. Col. John Shewchuk? According to his Twitter page, he's devoted to refuting causes of climate change, spreading that disinformation across several networks he belongs to.

It's John Shewchuk who fabricates data.

As usual, zerohedge.com is spreading disinformation.

Who does this benefit? Who pays for this? Guess.

I listened to the entire audio recording and heard the man refer to frogs as seducing spirits, which I agree with. He sounds like a genuine believer in Jesus Christ.

He also brought up a few times the idea of "finished work". I do not think I have a disagreement with him, but just wish to clarify the point about work. We do not work to be reconciled to God. Jesus himself earned that for us.

If we repent and turn to God, we will perform good works, showing that we truly did repent. Acts 26:20

I agree that Jesus finished his work on the cross. He did everything possible to give us salvation, a free gift. However, our work is not done. As long as we are here, we have opportunities to work for the kingdom of God. If we want to follow Jesus, we must pick up our cross and follow him. Carrying a cross can feel like work.... and the Lord will reward us according to our works.

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

Home Prices Soar as Incomes Lag Behind

Home prices across the United States have skyrocketed in recent decades, far outpacing growth in household incomes. According to new research, home prices have grown over 2 times faster than incomes since the year 2000.

If home prices had increased at the same rate as incomes since 2000, the median U.S. home would cost $294,000 today — about 32% less than the actual median price of $433,100. This stark disconnect between home prices and wages has created a severe affordability crisis for aspiring homebuyers.

Weather modification is no longer a "conspiracy theory" as it has been admitted to by many governments. Because of the war in Ukraine, and Europe's reliance on energy from Russia, and the destruction of the gas pipeline, Europe was in a very precarious state going into winter. They would have been absolutely fucked.

By some miracle the jet stream stayed really high over Europe and did not come down until Russia. So Europe had an extraordinarily warm winter while Russia was plunged into the coldest winter in hundreds of years.

The arctic ice also grew more this year than ever before. That puts a damper on climate alarmism, but there are tradeoffs to everything.
