  2. No thanks, I like the country I live in. Other Americans should take you up on your offer and join you though.
  3. You want them to move to a place where weather is more consistent. You say you live in such a place.
  4. So you want all those "libbies" you hate to come and live with you.
  5. Extreme weather is coming after you. I live in a rain forest but we are undergoing the longest period of drought and worst fire season ever.
  6. Here is another one. https://natural-resources.canada.ca/simply-science/canadas-record-breaking-wildfires-2023-fiery-wake-call/25303 El Nino cycles are normal. What happened this year is not.
  7. You actually think only democrats are effected? You can't be that thick. Or can you? '
  8. Yes, Florida and parts of California have become too risky.
  9. Not to the insurance companies, they deal in reality. Four major companies have left Florida in the last year.
  10. I'm suggesting that insurance companies don't act out of hysteria, they are bean counters who deal in numbers.
  11. Where will that be a year of two from now? Are you suggesting everyone (over 22 million) move out of Florida?
  12. Ya, tell that to all people who can no longer get home insurance or a mortgage because insurance companies have pulled out of areas that have become much riskier to insure because of more severe weather. Insurance companies look at nothing but risk, ideology or politics don't matter.
  13. Like I said, you just can't have a debate without using insults. You are just too insecure and immature.
  14. Then why is real estate included in GDP by sector, genius? 11 year old homes are selling at 150% more than the original price. That increase is included in our GDP even though they haven't produced a damn thing in 11 years except maybe what has been spend on renovations during that time. Why are you so damn insecure that you can't respond to anyone without an insult?
  15. Real Estate is by far the biggest component of our GDP. Dept to GDP has nothing to do with productivity. https://www.statista.com/statistics/594293/gross-domestic-product-of-canada-by-industry-monthly/ In the 11 years I have owned my present residence it has appreciated 150%. That's a hell of an increase in GDP but it is the same house only 11 years older.
  16. Hindsight is always perfect. Any id iot can do it.
  17. Because in both cases we were experiencing something completely new and didn't know what the ramifications could be. What would have been your measure of success?
  18. How do you know it wasn't there, it depended on the programs they were using. Because the actions that were taken were effective, that doesn't mean they weren't necessary. Same goes for Covid. You didn't need to do anything to your home computers because your operating system had been updated by its maker.
  19. Y2K wasn't an issue because companies spent billions upgrading their software to account for it.
