    Good news, the Earth stopped being inhabitable 4.3 billion years ago

    Or, if you meant habitable, C02, it's what plants crave. 800 ppm is actually the sweet spot, and humans can live at that level of CO2 also.

    There's a debate about what constitutes a "brown dwarf", but if you go with the school of thought that it had to have some amount fusion going in the past, this thing would be just a wee bit too light at 10 Jupiter mass, but over 13 is needed for fusion.

    Nothing made up, U6 even includes "underemployed" beside the "short term discouraged". Not the mocking "percentage of working age not working" phrase you coined.

    There used to be a broader rank used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics before the 90s, and by THAT measure we have near 25% unemployment. That's the old method that shadowstats.com uses, for example.

    You use phrases and wordings in both your posts only a U.S. writer would use.

    And those OTHER english speaking countries in UK, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, UK all have the "shorter than 165 cm average" going on, PLENTY of women 5cm or more shorter than that.

    Those women of other (shorter) ethnic backgrounds will be in online dating in US and Canada (if you want to claim just over the river), so your point is invalid

    No. You missed the boat, so to speak.

    Since you write as someone from the USA, plenty of your fellow citizens and immigrants are from those countries. And I forgot to mention also the UK countries where average height below 165cm, meaning half the women there are even shorter.

    Already small and mid business employees hurt hugely by Obamacare because of added costs to insurance companies. They didn't get to keep their doctors or their plans, and their premiums have been jacked up.

    In 2016 things will get even worse, especially as the assumed number of healthy young people to float Obamacare of course aren't and won't be there.

    So the answer to your question is, you are.
