Because what else would they do?<br /><br />Faux News and lies are like crack cocaine to the Idiocracy. Bagholding gamblers gleefully bought record bullshit with both hands, amid the highest bullish sentiment since the last major RepubliCon tax cut 30 years ago. It's been quite a week for lying. And short-covering...<br /><br />Zero percent interest rate policy offers infinite return on investment, culminating in mass corporate bankruptcy. But don't tell today's exploitation class, they still believe in a Supply Side economy and the jobless consumer - beneficiary of all free trade agreements. The erstwhile economy is wholly irrelevant now that we've discovered that debt is GDP and printing money to inflate stock prices is the secret to effortless wealth. A Japanified aging society has extreme preference for return on capital over return on labor. Hence the fabrication of "Supply Side Economics", the dumbest fucking idea ever invented, by the dumbest fucking society that ever walked the earth. Now led by Circus Clownius, the last emperor. Apparently it never occurred to these people what happens when there's an economy with unlimited supply and no demand. The return on capital collapses to the limit approaching 0% just prior to going deeply bankrupt. <br /><br />Hard to believe, but this week RepubliCons are taking from the poor to give to the rich again.

When, Where and How to Watch the ‘Supermoon’<br />https://www.yahoo.com/news/beaver-moon-where-watch-supermoon-121654806.html<br /><br />Over the coming days skygazers, and those of us who might just happen to be out for a stroll in the late evening, will be treated to a larger and brighter moon than usual. <br /><br />The Beaver Moon is so named because it is the night the moon lights up the sky at the last point before lakes and swamps freeze over before winter, a spokeswoman for Britain’s Metropolitan Weather Office tells Newsweek. This means it is the last chance to set beaver traps before winter and, in the past, the last opportunity to ensure a supply of warm winter furs.<br /><br />According to the NASA the beaver moon can also be know as Frost, Frosty Moon and the Snow Moon, although these names are also used for the last moon of fall, usually in December.

The report affirms that climate change is driven almost entirely by human action, warns of potential sea-level rise as high as eight feet by the year 2100, and enumerates climate-related damage across the United States that is already occurring as a result of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit of global warming since 1900.
