A "jar"? You know they make these... folding things that you can put... bills in and then stick in your pocket, right? I can't remember what it's called, though...

"Why is this different than when AOC proposed the same legislation" - It's not. You'll notice it didn't happen when AOC proposed it, either.

Aw, I guess we've got a climate-change denier in the room, who chooses to downmod instead of being bothered to engage...

I'll try to explain this to you like the 5-year-old you apparently are: Increased oceanic and atmospheric energy means more chaotic weather. Sometimes that means higher temperature, sometimes lower. Sometimes wetter, sometimes drier. And not all in the same place at once. You know, climate change . Get it? Good boy/girl. Want a cookie?

Just so you know, I'm totally stealing Mar-a-Loco.

"Ms. Leavitt, what is causing the oceans to heat up?" "Your mom"

One test, with non-specific results. Thus, "not very well quantified".

Which part of "not very well quantified" didn't you understand?

What makes you think a lot of people do learn "multiplication before division" or "addition before subtraction"? I didn't, and neither did anyone in the same classrooms I was in. You're making a broad generalization from a few YouTube/Facebook comments - something I also learned not to do, in school.

...and not having an undesirable social media history.

...and we don't have those things in America? Socialism is collective/political ownership and control of the means of production, i.e. when all the shoe factories are run by the government. Social democracy is another thing.

But is that because of the inequality, or simply because of not having enough to be comfortable? I know there are people far wealthier than I, but I'm not uncomfortable, so I really don't care about those other people.

"individual happiness and well being are not correlated to how much money you have"

Oh, I'll bet they very much are. Being extremely poor, e.g. not being able to feed yourself, etc., is going to make you unhappy, I'm sure. And having more than the bare minimum is going to make you at least somewhat happier. But that's different from inequality, i.e. whether someone else has more than you do - as long as you have enough.

Including "ellemenno"...

I am so sick of people thumping their chests about their countries' use of metric, as though they had anything to do with the decision. Did they ask you personally when they decided to switch to metric? No? Then WhyTF do you have any reason to be "proud" of it?
