Because climate change as a result of man as a consequence of our actions is bit problematic for those who think a sky fairy got all Craig David an knock out the world before chilling on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't happen with the Uni sector (if what you mean is directly working against Trump) as they are way too dependent on federal research dollars, which are all to easily threatened. Bush played this game, so they all know the rules unfortunately. Now, I don't see Trump stoping independent organizations acting as they please. Really interesting times.

(tongue firmly in cheek) Well, life expectancy in the US has dropped in recent years. Now were one to analyze the data, one would see that the poorer you are the lower your life expectancy. Actually, it's really just the life expectancy of the poor that has dropped. Not done by Trump btw, both sides of the aisle are neck deep in blood on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making the point that these red states that consistently vote Republican are often the ones who need the most help from the government.

Popular Post maqroll Posted June 3, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2017 We've become a rogue nation which could quickly become isolated if nations seize on this moment. The only problem is we have a massive, bomb-happy military. Trump's budget is all military and tax breaks for billionaires. We are entering a very dangerous time. Huge social/cultural/religious/racial tension here and I don't see things improving. Our credibility on the global stage is basically shot at this point. It's a long way back, I can't believe this country has devolved into this mess. These are really sad days for this country. Germany now has an excuse to expand all aspects of their military. China has more power now by having done nothing at all. This is one of the most embarrassing and potentially devastating political own goals in modern times along with Brexit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty hopeless out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
