Dude was sharp mentally as can be. But he was so focking brainwashed on social matters it was scary. Black dude. All about racism and global warming. Just out of his mind. Teaching people to hate, to be envious, dissatisfied and militant is something we have to accept now. There are perhaps two generations who have been taught to hate. Unwinding this would be like deprogramming someone who left a cult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what's really scary is the guy I'm referencing probably had an IQ off the charts. He picked up complex work tasks in like seconds. He ultimately left the company to go back to get his masters degree but I can only imagine the amount of damage that guy could do if he stays on the same path.

Baker Boy 1,694 Posted July 26, 2023 Look, the climate crisis is not our fight alone; it’s a global fight. The United States accounts, as all of you know, less than 15 percent of carbon emissions. The rest of the world accounts for 85 percent. That’s why I kept my commitment to rejoin the Paris Accord — because if we do everything perfectly, it’s not going to ultimately matter. - Joe Biden https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/04/29/remarks-by-president-biden-in-address-to-a-joint-session-of-congress/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why the temp is higher now in the same location. Even replacing desert dirt with black asphalt and the avg temp will rise. A guy replanted the forest acreage that he owned in South America. 20 years later, after the trees had grown up, the temperature there was lower. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7099537/Brazilian-couple-spends-20-years-planting-trees-barren-ranch-create-paradise-animals.html Same applies everywhere. Cut down trees, replace with a shopping center and asphalt, the temp rises in that area. Continue building outwards, the temp continues to rise. The only correct temp for an area is where no humans are, like out in a field. NOT at an airport! Climate change is a bigger scam than the jabs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
