The forumites who would learn most from your income inequality links are the ones least likely to read them.  Right now in America, few are turning off their filters.  I can remember a conservative relative who subscribed to Mother Jones, just so he could get a different side.  That's a vanishing breed.

Based on what?

Clearly, you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_glacial_retreat

The Holocene glacial retreat is a geographical phenomenon that involved the global deglaciation of glaciers that previously had advanced during the Last Glacial Maximum. Ice sheet retreat initiated ca. 19,000 years ago and accelerated after ca. 15,000 years ago. The Holocene, starting with abrupt warming 11,700 years ago, resulted in rapid melting of the remaining ice sheets of North America and Europe. The retreat of glaciers altered landscapes in many ways and is currently still acting as a result of climate change.

Well there you go.

If only you could understand what you quote.

LOL

Yes climate change that started 15,000 to 19,000 years ago...my petrol-driven car was not on the road then.
The industrial revolution wasn't even invented, nor were the coal-fired power stations providing my electricity.

Someone tell the kiddies in Israel etc protesting 'climate change'.

Want no wall...open borders...anyone and everyone just allowed in 'for a better life'?

bambu says;  "be careful what you wish for".

Do you think that the argument(s) against the wall are arguments for open borders?

Yes.
Basically open borders.

Elementary logic;

No proper, impenetrable Israel-style fence/wall is in place now and hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are simply 'walking' over the border every few years.
People in favour of no wall are indeed arguing for what's in place now to continue.

And what's "in place" now is not, by any stretch of the imagination "open borders." Unless you spend all day watching Fox News. But to indulge you, do you know how long the Israeli border is?

Now, all they need is a ladder, and over the wall they go.
Barbed wire, razor wire etc would fix that...until a new wall can be built.

No, President Trump, China will not be paying for the bailouts of the farmers hurt by your tariffs. The American people will pay for those in addition to paying for the tariffs themselves.

Yessss.

Kiid is all about kicking himself in the head. Unfortunately a life of self inflicted kickings has severely impeded his ability to read or comprehend.

That's not what it says, Bambi-ignorance.

It says that the retreating glaciers today are because of climate change - the type you deny.

But you can't even admit that you misread it. You used to be able to grant when you got stuff wrong, but not anymore.

Speak for yourself, Kiiid.

Plenty of folks who are "paying" for the tariffs are doing so by going out of business and/or selling their farms.

But why you should you care? You "are able."

It does say that retreating glaciers are because of climate change...climate change that happened all by itself 15,000 years ago...and continues today, all by itself, just like it did before.
Like the globe that heats up by itself and cools down by itself.

Goods news...bambu-ilk won't be made buy electric cars now...Conservatives won 'the unwinnable election'.
Buying electric cars will be optional...as it always should be.

Forcing people to buy electric cars is oh so "Nazi Germany".
We the People downunder are forced to vote...that's bad enough.

Nearly $400 billion in extra taxes Leftist Labor was going to introduce.
. Death/inheritance tax
. Increased taxes on people's superannuation savings
. Increased taxes on investors who own rental properties...people renting would've seen their rents rise.
. Increased taxes on self-funded retirees who have shares as investment...loss of income for folks who worked hard all their lives and saved.
. Close down all coal-fired power stations..."coal is evil".."coal to be replaced by renewables"...."100% renewables".
. 50% reduction in emissions target by 2030 or whatever.
. etc.
And "redistribute the wealth", "class warfare", "gender warfare" ['50% women, sack men and give women their jobs'] they were all about.
Also use the taxes for 'climate change'.

Leftist Labor proposed Treasurer said;
"We make no apologies for these policies of ours...if you don't like it, vote for someone else".
So the people did...voted for someone else!  LOL
Yes, Bill Shorten/Leftist Labor lost the 'unlosable election'...much like HRC and co did.

As long as it's not you, right?   

Problem is, when we turn soybean and grain markets into a Darwinian jungle, it's the people who provide us with food on the table who are harmed.  And markets lost are not easily regained.
