I am sorry you have to misfortune to live in Mass. and I would bet you are lonesome.
When you sell a house the buyer may hire a inspector to check the mechanical systems of the house. I have sold a few over my life and I always tell the buyer that bear in mind that you are paying someone to find something wrong with this house. They will find something wrong in order to justify their overpriced inspection. Without fail that is exactly what happens.
Last house we sold daughter of the buyer, both women, had a radon inspection done. Cost a 125 bucks for the inspection and then the inspector charged the old lady 800 bucks for a radon detector. The guy we bought the house from was in his 90’s when he died and no connection to radon was made. We had lived there for 5 years with no ill effects.
I had told the old lady buying the house that the radon was a scam. I was overruled by her daughter who was a school system employee who buys into any government horse apples she hears of.
Global warming is the same deal. The government tells the scientists what results it is looking for and the scientists reach those results no matter what they have to do. The old saying that the man who pays the fiddler calls the tune is in effect and this BS is taken as gospel by the masses of dummies that now inhabit the formerly great US.
Common sense is out of style and believing the unbelievable is in. I had Elvis’s two headed love child is now a common headline, the more unbelievable the more it is believed. Mooshelle is the best dressed and possesses the best sense of style in America. We are outnumbered by the zombies, God have mercy on us.
You are exactly right.
I bought a home in 1989 that had “radon” remediation done. The only reason it was done was that the home was owned by a relocation company and they feared a lawsuit.
Radon is or was a scam. A scam that made money by instilling fear.
The same thing is happening with so-called climate change, but on a much bigger scale.
It’s the fear of the unknown and fear based on “possibility” not “probability”.
It’s possible that we are all living in the matrix, however unlikely.
The left, has convinced a great number of unthinking people to accept and embrace uncertainty as fact. I don’t think this is a conspiracy. These are true believers whose foundations for rational thought actually have no foundation, but are so convinced of their position that they reject any and all evidence to the contrary.
As a result. Their positions must be defended, not by an established scientific method, but with the propaganda of fear and more importantly, peer pressure and group think.
These folks are extraordinary shallow in their defense of AGW. They trust and believe what “their” payed for scientists spew, because their world view would collapse otherwise. They would be forced to admit they were wrong. They, if honest, would be forced to reconsider the very foundations of how they know anything.
This runs completely counter to their embrace of uncertainty.
Great points; being out numbered by the Zombies makes the next Dark Age look welcome; they’ll be the first to die.
