So you have no evidence and need to resort to conspiracy theories

As I've said, this is a seriously dumb take — the world isn't some perfect place, but US policy resulted in less overall inflation before getting things back to normal than most other developed countries. That's an indication that we had better policy.

I haven't claimed that it's perfect for everybody — just that for most people, it's a lot better. More people are working than pre-pandemic. Inflation went down to normal levels. Median wages are rising faster than inflation.

Those things didn't happen in every country, and it's a credit to policy under the Biden administration that they have.

So you've got no evidence for your point, just insults and denial.

It's actually been pretty good for most people; we had an incredible recovery from the highest unemployment since the Great Depression, and wages have started outpacing inflation again over the past 18 months. And inflation came down without mass unemployment.

That doesn't mean everybody had identical outcomes.

This one's a weather report; I'm taking it down as off topic.

That's a nonsense take — nobody claiming that there is no hardship; only that the US has done a lot better than most other countries at handling the economic fallout from the pandemic.

Yes, Article II, Section 3 says:

Yeah, there's an upper limit of ~70m average global sea level rise if all the ice melted.

Since that scale was created, we've greatly improved building codes, so it might actually make sense.

And in Canada in 1917

Cap systems like this are about equivalent to carbon taxes in terms of difficulty in cooperating around, but give certainty about total emissions instead of about future prices. They're mostly not implemented because they make it clear that you need to actually decarbonize.
