We lived on the line of Leech Lake Reservation (near Cass Lake, MN) but except for that and the Crow Reservation, the rest of our reservation experiences were in the southwest. (IH…

Some tribes (Navajo Nation included) are still receiving direct health care. There's a huge hospital in Gallup, NM, as well as another in Shiprock. Health care is supplied by the f…

Having lived on reservations, Navajo Nation being one of them, I'd opine that the co-morbidities are the main contributing factor. The diabetes rates on the rez are many times that…

In the US, the right to travel is one of the most basic. The right to work comes along somewhere close to that. I couldn't have imagined Americans would ever stand for such a thing…

Basically, it's a "license" for freedom. What a convoluted and contradictory concept. Given the past, and Germany's "Never Again" sentiment, I'm surprised this can even be consider…

Bout time this started happening. Now, the rest of the industry just needs to follow suit.

It's not the rate that matters. It's the actual number of deaths. SO FAR, this flu season, the CDC attributes 20,000 to 52,000 deaths to the flu in the US alone. Coronavirus has ki…

I feel zero stress. CDC estimates 16,000-41,000 flu deaths for the 2019-2020 season (through 15 Feb) in the US alone. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-e..…

As I look at http://www.thedigeratilife.com/blog/federal-minimum-wage-his... I see the minimum wage was actually $1.60 at the time, but I was paid $1.50. Might have had to do with …

When I started washing dishes, minimum wage was $1.50. Hard to get used to inflation of 1000%.

As more of the actual science comes out, the politicization of the IPCC becomes more evident.

CEB has been used for centuries in Britain. Arid is obviously not a factor. It's also been used for multi-story buildings. I'm not sure how dense housing reduces pollution though. …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_earth_block Concrete can be replaced in part through the use of CEB/CSEB and/or rammed earth.

Greenhouse operators often provide their plants with an atmosphere of 1200-1500 ppm CO2, which would fall into the economically advantageous range. No idea where the "too much" ran…

I remember the mumps as being fairly painful. I recall the chicken pox as being extremely itchy. What do I recall about measles? Not much at all really except that they forced me t…

"The package is crammed full of provisions for nearly every senator who cast a vote" Funny, that.

If I move my forecast location a few hundred yards, my elevation changes rather drastically, changing the forecast. Elevation isn't a factor most forecasts even consider. Is it fal…

"chance of precipitation is 80%, less than an inch possible" How would you determine, in a scientifically rigid manner, the limits on conditions which would validate that forecast …

I use the forecast put out by weather.gov that's supposedly tailored to the square mile because it gets the 12 hour forecast right about 40% of the time. The others are worse. Of c…
