Yipsy No interest in that. There's enough of you to do your little cat fighting you enjoy so much.

propman so you enjoy rambling on

He sure does!!! And more than most!

Couldn't care less about Pfizer and what they paid Kelce. Besides, my vaccine was made by Moderna. Try again...

    I have a globe that I consulted. Didn't want to be just guessing or posting unfounded info.

    Not to threadjack....but I also noticed on that globe that if I dig straight down I wouldn't even come close to China.
    Got me thinking....maybe Mom was 'just saying that'. πŸ€”

    There's been a LOT of studies that prove out (or at least strongly indicate) that the global economy (and subsequently ours) is an evolving, living, breathing thing that is pretty much unaffected by who the president is or even which party controls Congress. The presidential candidates love to take credit and give blame, but ........

      sdandrea1 And perhaps the studies are correct, but many studies are not depending on whether there were goals associated and who paid the bill. Things definitely ebb and flow in the U.S. economy that the president can't control, but the better you control what you can the better the chance for success.

        Yipsy Trust is tanking in both.

        .....and truth has too many versions.

        DonM You are aware, are you not, that you may request the closure/locking of the threads you start?

        Bravopilot Earth is estimated to be 4.5Billion years old.

        Not according to the Bible.

        Bravopilot When they show me data from each year to analyze the changes, I'll join the panic.

        A measured and productive response doesn't have to be a panic.

        Bravopilot Otherwise, history repeats

        That's just part of one of the most over-used, tired, and erroneous maxims. Clearly, man doesn't fail to learn, It's chosen ignorance.

          professor It's chosen ignorance.

          Greed and selfishness gets in the way. Watch the movie "Don't Look Up". It's a brilliant satire on how the current (fictional) administration would respond to an Earth-ending catastrophy. It scared the shit out of me while LMAO.

          My background , study and training is/was in the field of Science, specifically the health and medical field. I managed a large, teaching University , research department. Anything we did was peer reviewed in depth by our team and also often by affiliate research departments at other hospitals before submitted for publication. You are correct that a good chunk of the research studies we see posted in mainstream media etc are biased and might have an agenda.....this is where people get mislead.

          when I took advanced stats in my first Uni degree, our Prof made a statement that with any research , you can prove or disprove your thesis depending on the on the statistical methods and tests you choose. This gets abused and it's why you see so many research reports get debunked and disproven once they are peer reviewed and analyzed using the proper or better tools.

          One of the projects this prof assigned was to perform a research study then analyze the data using 3 different ( but all good and accepted) statistical tests and methodologies. Two needed to prove our thesis and one disprove it. Then as a follow-up assignment , we were given somebody else's project that they proved and we had to disprove it using accepted statistical methodologies.

          Bottom line is there are legitimized peer reviewed research papers published all they time and anyone can find and access these. JAMA, Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine are just a few of the best peer reviewed Journals out there that you can have confidence in.

          Yipsy This explains what perspective you come from and speaks to the arrogance and hostility you display toward others.

          There's a reason folks here might dislike you more than me. It's quoted above.

          Yipsy There are incredible biases at the heart of "peer-review".

          Weirfan made note of that in his post.

          Yipsy Science is no longer science

          Based upon your comments, I'm not so sure you know what science actually is nor, how you'd manage the philosophical underpinnings of science. Science is not "God". The empirical method is logically flawed as it can only define itself with empiricism being part of the definition.

          Surely will go up .40-.50 next week. S.T.O.P.
