FINANCE:
HOW TO RETIRE IN TEN YEARS ON MINN. WAGE (from around 2000 very out of date)
Trump's Economics: high tariffs, closing the border, deporting 20 million aliens, doing away with rules that reduce global warming, and lowering taxes on the wealthy, at the same time reducing inflation. This is an economy that ensures failure. He must have failed Economics at Wharton and bought his degree.
Environment:
GLOBAL WARMING The science and data behind global warming caused by CO2. Please send a copy to our gobal warming denying President.
ELECTRIC vs GAS CARS, ENVIRONMENT COST The environmental cost of producing an Electric car vs a Hybrid
NO MORE OIL ( this is quite out of date, and we will have oil after 2050, but at huge environmental costs: fracking, strip mining, and offshore pumping). Trump's "Drill baby drill" will speed up t=Global warming and we will lose all of the present environmental protections.
How to Save the World with a Carbon Tax: Stop complaining about gas tax, it is the only incentive most have for getting out of ther gas-driven cars.
Carbon Beyond Cars (You); Humans breathing and satisfying their needs are the major source of CO2
Plastics into Steaks and Milk: The final solution to all that plastic: eat it.
Politics:
Trump's support from the AUTHORITARIAN PERSONALITY
Trump's Rewards for being President . It is a hard job, and he needs the money
List of Trump's Greatest Contributions (Why liberals are upset)
Trump's Art of the Deal is at odds with Modern Management theory.
Donald Trump admiration for President William McKinley Tariffs, favored industrialization, and took over other lands.
Trump's Agenda ( to become a dictator)
Church and State: Some of the evils that could be taught in school come straight from the Bible.
Trump's attack on the Courts and the Law: Trump's actions aimed at retribution against adversaries and his influence over the legal system
Trump Goes to Court . I was trying to keep track of all of Trump's early legal problems. A bit dated.
The FAKE NEWS: Memes of various quality.
CONSERVATIVE VS LIBERAL THOUGHT: I need to complete this by showing how Trump has distorted Conservative ideals.
Cost of Undocumented Immigrants: Bottom line is Net Positive from Undocumented Workers Annually = $7,348,800,000
Health Care for All: The US has the poorest health care at the highest cost of any developed nation. We fail to learn from others because of a misguided ideology that has been disproven over and over.
The Minority Rules in the US: Through various laws and decrees, we live in a country that is ruled by a minority.
Wealth Distribution: The total wealth of the top 1% has been higher than that of the middle 60%. A graph shows that the increase in productivity of workers has nearly all gone to the owners, and the discrepancy is far worse in the U.S.
THE COST OF WAR: What could be done if the money spent on War and defense were to be used for the betterment of all?
- The job Requirements of U.S President: The important ones are not golf and lying. Management theory would give Trump and F-
Project 2025 for a Dictatorship: Trump did not read it but may have created it and is certainly following it.
Women in high office: an example of reverse discrimination? Even though women have been discriminated against in pay and advancement, there are studies that the requirements of a modern world would give them a strong edge over men.
Information and general rants
History of Israel: Even with God's favor, it has not always been theirs.
Biofeedback /Peter Behel. for a friend in the business.
AI, Friend or Foe. Review of The state of AI and where it could be headed. I plan to update this with dangers and misuses. Trump's and DOGE's use to cut Government expenses should have only been a first cut that brought out questions that AI might have answered, but instead, it was used as a final answer and a chainsaw.

INDEX TO GLOBAL WARMING:
What is the Relative use of Carbon by Countries?
Is all of this burning of fossil fuel actually going into the air?
What about very long-term data
Are the sun's output or the earth's tilt causing global warming?
What do relevant scientists say?
Is the CO2 in the atmosphere really causing the world temperature to rise?
How much CO2 are we GOING TO add to the atmosphere?
Summary of Electric vs Gas Cars Environmental Cost
The greenhouse gas emissions associated with an electric vehicle over its lifetime, including the manufacture of battery and car, are typically more than 50% lower than those from an average gasoline-powered vehicle, even when accounting for manufacturing, and if the EV is coupled with Solar panels, a gas car will create almost 10 times more than the C02 an EV.
Lithium-ion batteries will cause environmental and health problems that will increase with the increased number of EVs.
Lithium production looks much worse because it is visible and local, while CO2 is unseen and spread across the entire world. Its effects are indirect and cannot be seen as any one event.
In total, the increase in CO2 from gas cars is far more destructive than the entire production cycle of lithium.
Lithium mining is not significantly more environmentally destructive than other metal mining, and Li mining is far less destructive than the total production of petroleum extraction.
The transportation sector accounts for 27% of the CO2 emissions.
Lithium mining and recycling must be highly regulated to prevent it from becoming a major problem.
