The Republican party is forced, by their own president, to look themselves in the mirror and say "who are we?" and "what have we done?"...<br /><br />The schism could not be more stark right now as Bannon came out swinging today, saying basically fuck Wall Street, they're the ones who screwed the middle class for decades.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Larry Kudlow was also out today trying to reassure Wall Street that this is all just negotiating tactics and posturing. Kudlow's Supply Side love ramped the Dow from a -500 point loss to a 230 point gain. <br /><br />Which brings up the question, who is right? Obviously Bannon is right in terms of the fact that there is nothing to show for free trade other than a pile of debt and a hollowed out middle class. 2008 and the subsequent 0% lost decade of fentanyl overdoses and mass shootings, proved that free trade has failed. <br />[more]<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819564675299071481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-28372602422301907142018-04-05T07:47:40.768-05:002018-04-05T07:47:40.768-05:00Shell Knew Fossil Fuels Created Climate Change Ris...Shell Knew Fossil Fuels Created Climate Change Risks Back in 1980s, Internal Documents Show<br />https://insideclimatenews.org/news/05042018/shell-knew-scientists-climate-change-risks-fossil-fuels-global-warming-company-documents-netherlands-lawsuits<br /><br />A trove of documents shows the oil company’s scientists urged its leaders to heed the warnings.

I predicted that an extreme weather year capable of causing a significant disruption of the global economy, intense political turmoil, war and the threat of mass famine was increasing in probability, becoming a 1-in-50-year event 40 years from now--a 2% chance of happening in a given year--due to the increasingly extreme nature of the jet stream, when combined with the ongoing increase in global temperatures, drought intensity, and heavy precipitation events.
