If only he signed a bill that allowed for infanticide. He’d still be skiing.
The dictators got him fired.
At age 75, Mr. Kasper should tell them all to go to hell and walk out to enjoy retirement. Let the Ecofreaks screw up the sports.
The irony is the very people calling for his head are proving his point.
This global warming/climate change nonsense is so incredible that it is still almost impossible to believe.
It is impossible to believe that this type of nonsense can go on year after year.
” ... want the president of the International Ski Federation to resign ... (President) said he would rather deal with dictators than argue with environmentalists.”
Thus proving his point.
When has the climate NOT changed? When was the last Ice Age? When are we we do for the next Ice Age?
We need to start demanding that those who espouse what we think is untrue to step down...”How dare you upset me by saying climate change is real...you need to quit your job and leave town...”
Rush has been complaining that “we can’t afford it” challenges to socialism fall on deaf ears. IMHO that’s because naive people think that dollars are magic. Got a problem? Just print more dollars!Reality is, of course, that monetary numbers represent reality in a highly nonlinear way - dollars represent reality if and only if the supply of dollars does not accelerate. At least, not very fast and not very long.
The naive socialist “Philips Curve” theory tries to associate economic activity with the number of dollars extant, but if you try to plot the Philips curve with real data you get a shotgun pattern. They would have a lot more success, IMHO, if they plotted economic activity against the rate of increase of the money supply. Or, perhaps more likely, the acceleration thereof.
Problem being, socialists can increase the dollar supply a lot, but the chickens come home to roost when the supply of dollars outruns the supply of goods and services dramatically enough. That happened during the Carter Administration, having gotten its start under Nixon (and, really, his Democrat Congress). The result is that dollar-denominated prices are an order of magnitude higher now than they were in the 1950s. Late or soon, sanity - and stability in the dollar supply - prevail.
Our problem is all the voters under the age of 50 who have no memory of the Carter Stagflation.
It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. — Adam Smith
Climate has been constantly changing ever since Earth formed out of the nebula in space.
