@MikeWilnau @MikeWilnau so what expenses so drastically increased for you in 5 years? the housing is the same, so food? maybe you can put the breakdown your expenses to show people?

FOR THE WILDFIRE CRAZY AND CLIMATE MENTALLY DERANGED The last 150 years is the greatest improvement in the human condition in the entire history of our species. It is not close. Fire is down. US burned area peaked at 52 million acres in 1930. It runs 5 to 10 million now. An 80 percent collapse. Global burned area, measured by satellite since the late 1990s, is down 25 percent. Africa’s savannas, which used to dominate the global burn, have gone quiet as agriculture replaced fire-prone scrub. The planet is greening. Satellite data shows a leaf area increase equivalent to adding one entire Amazon rainforest to the Earth since 2000. Zhu et al. attributed 70 percent of the greening to CO2 fertilization. Deserts are shrinking at their edges. The Sahel is greener than it was 40 years ago. Crops are exploding. Global grain production has more than tripled since 1961 on roughly the same acreage. Yield per hectare on wheat, maize, and rice has quadrupled. Famine deaths per capita have fallen by roughly 99 percent since the 1870s. People live twice as long. Global life expectancy in 1875 was about 30 years. Today it is 73. More than doubled. In the developed world it went from 40 to over 80. Doubled again. Children stop dying. In 1800, 43 percent of children died before age 5. Today it is under 4 percent globally, under 1 percent in the developed world. A tenfold reduction. An order of magnitude. Poverty collapsed. In 1820, roughly 90 percent of humans lived in extreme poverty. Today it is under 9 percent, and falling. Another order of magnitude, while the global population grew from 1 billion to 8 billion. More people, vastly less poverty, per capita and in absolute terms. Everyone can read. Global literacy in 1875 was around 20 percent. Today it is 87 percent. Four times higher across a population that grew six times larger. Everyone got rich. Real GDP per capita globally (Maddison data, constant dollars) went from about $1,200 in 1870 to over $16,000 today. Roughly a fourteenfold increase. In the developed world, more like fiftyfold. Weather stopped killing people. Deaths from climate and weather related disasters peaked in the 1920s and 1930s at around 5 million per year, mostly drought and flood in Asia. Today, with five times the global population, it runs under 20,000 per year. A per capita reduction of over 99 percent. Two full orders of magnitude. Work got easier. Average annual working hours in developed economies fell from around 3,000 in 1870 to about 1,700 today. Roughly half. Child labor collapsed. Leisure exploded. The cause is not a mystery. Fossil fuels. Coal, oil, and natural gas turned muscle labor into machine labor. They powered fertilizer production (Haber-Bosch alone feeds roughly half the humans alive). They powered refrigeration, sanitation, hospitals, tractors, transport, and every step of the industrial food chain. Cheap dense energy is what dragged our species out of the Malthusian trap where it had lived for 10,000 years. And the byproduct of that cheap dense energy, CO2, is the same molecule that is regreening the Earth and boosting crop yields on top of the mechanical gains. Every actual measurement of the human condition and the biosphere shows the same thing. Fires down. Green up. Lifespans up. Child deaths down. Poverty down. Hunger down. Wealth up. Literacy up. Weather deaths down. All by factors of 2 to 100 in a century and a half. The industrial civilization the alarmists want to dismantle is the single largest engine of human and ecological improvement ever recorded. The data are not ambiguous. They are not close. They are not debatable. They are simply denied. By the mentally ill.

@frncsc2020 @RobertBac0n He is the Opposite of Isra*l, prefers not to kill civilians & destroy civilian infrastructure indiscriminately. it’s not going to end until Odessa is Russian.The slow moving front is designed to minimize Russian casualties & maximize Ukrainian.Average Ukrainian army soldier is 45

@RobertBac0n Now that I skimmed it, lol lol it might as well be written by a Ukrainian blogger, it’s embarrassing disinfo, kind of like US won the Iran war and destroyed their nuclear dust ten times over.

@theNOBSdentist How can you tell which cavity it is? A, S I or M?

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

@RobertBac0n It was done during Covid lockdowns , free loans and cash give aways

My HOA is two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon

So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy … a pound of sliced turkey in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they won't give me a plastic bag to carry it home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment? 🙄😂

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷US: "Dear Iranians, we have come to liberate you from the evil oppressive Regime which is trying to kill you." Two weeks later: US: "Dear Iranians, sorry, Plan A didn't work. Plan B is we bomb you into the Stone Age."

This piece on Palantir death-tech and the kill chain is breathtakingly good theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/…

@RobertBac0n Why should we? The laundry fire does enough damage 😂

@RobertBac0n Because some things can’t be hidden as they are easily observed

@lwdoerr powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/…

@_Memorious_ @lwdoerr Here is one example: No new law changed to make abortion legal, and no new law changed to make it illegal. What changed was how the same Constitution was interpreted. P.S. I don’t present an opinion on the issue itself; I’m using it purely as an example of power reallocating itself through interpretation. Rights did not exist, then existed, then vanished. No legislature acted. What changed? Nothing but power — hence, the rule of law is an illusion; power is real. The same applies when exactly the same law is applied differently based on the race of a defendant or a victim, or even on something as arbitrary as how hungry or rushed a judge is. And what about when a law is broken, but no charges are brought? Prosecutorial discretion. Or when a person is too poor to bring a civil suit even though the law is clearly violated, but the conduct isn’t criminal? What rules in practice is not law. What rules is who has power, will, money, or institutional leverage.
