    Even when we throw bones to those that should be dying as the result of their lifestyle we thrive.

    Sorry but supply and demand rules nature. Just like a lot of predators will die if there prey is in short supply, if 10 million people can fill a job, it won't pay a lot.

    Yep, but inflation is the consequence of getting raises.

    Huge down payment on the next house. No PMI. Lower interest rate. That is what it did for me. Double the square footage, quadruple the land.

    I agree with you minus the drinking part since that is on a case by case basis. But a lot of the whiners think it is still the 90s.

    Ummm, where you been the last 20 years? Linux is a data center operating system, lots of money being made off of it that way. There is a free UNIX that isn't fractured, and is making its maintainer good money on desktop hardware and it isn't Linux.

    And when the places you'd go find a job to replace this job are doing this, where are you going to work? I understand that people see the big severance but if people would just look at the big picture and refuse to cut their own throats, what would the company do? If all the sys admins I work with were told you're training your replacements and we all decided to say fuck off, they'd be unable to get the companies business done. People really don't value themselves and their own power, short vs long term thinking.

    I'll quit first. Why cut your own neck slowly? Frankly though, people keep voting for the same people that listen to business saying they need this cheap labor and please allow them more.

    You couldn't address any points could you? Did you know before photographs existed we have evidence of glaciers covering the northern US? Due to climate change glaciers advanced and retreated. Our current observations line up nicely with the Vostok ice core. You know that during the little ice age in Europe glaciers advanced and then retreated after it warmed? Tell me about the humidity and it making winters colder again.

    I think we are at an inflection point. So it is your thesis that higher humidity has led to higher snow packs in the Colorado river basin and temperature has no effect on that? Why is the runoff just staring now? Go to http://lakepowell.water-data.c... and see that due to the cool spring runoff is just starting and the lake is 2-4 degrees cooler than it usually is this time of year. I suppose higher humidty caused the long winter in the North Eastern US this winter as well? It caused the unusually cool weather in the south? High humdity from global warming made it a cooler than normal winter?
