Well, looks like geoengineering or space engineering it’ll be.
Humans only do the right thing after all other ways are attempted, so soon that’ll be the only choice.
So that’s what we will do.
The next 100 years of human history are gonna be frickin’ crazy like you can’t even imagine. Like Justin Bieber riding on a manatee shooting AK-47s into the sky kinda crazy.
Yeah.
Health care costs set to rise 25 to 50%.
PPACA is not bending the health care cost curve downward as promised. It is sending premiums into the orbit. NYT reported:
Health insurance companies around the country are seeking rate increases of 20 percent to 40 percent or more, saying their new customers under the Affordable Care Act turned out to be sicker than expected.
But the useful idiots of the left like Kevin Drum and Amanda Marcotte assured me this was absolutely impossible and all merely evil right-wing lies and propaganda!
When in fact it was utterly predictable and predicted by me and many, many others possessed of even a tiny lick of sense.
Interesting facts about me:
1) I have terrible balance. I can’t roller skate, use a skateboard, roller blade or anything like that. Also I fall or nearly fall up and down stairs a lot. No medical condition indicated. Have been this way all my life.
2) I (and many other people) set a world record in 1997 for the longest-distance non-stop parachute operation in the world. Two mid-air refuelings, 19 hours flying. Then the jump. This record likely still stands though I haven’t looked into it.
3) Dogs freak me out in some metaphysical way. So needy. Cannot deal.
4) I tried lucid dreaming in the 5th grade. Got hooked on it. Thanks, Omni magazine.
5) By the time I was 10 or 11, I’d subscribed (thanks to my grandparents) to Scientific American, Omni, Newsweek, US News & World Report, Popular Science and some other magazines. Also read National Geographic cover to cover starting when I was six. Nerdiest kid alive? Hell yeah.
6) I once asked for a strange girl’s number in a Waffle House in the middle of the night. This is something I almost never do, but I got it, and it was I think real. I never called her as my life was just too busy at that time.
7) If I had a superpower, I’d want it to be the ability to speak, read, write and fully understand any language fluently without training.
8) I used to be able to hold my breath for more than two minutes while swimming underwater. What living on a clean river in Florida will do for you. Used to freak people right the hell out.
9) I used to read 9-12 books concurrently.
10) I don’t naturally have much empathy. Think I was just born this way. I try to rein it in and not become a complete sociopath but it’s a lifelong battle.
