I think telling people that they can change the climate of the entire earth is a scam. I won't argue that the weather isn't changing. However, the temperatures of the earth have fluctuated throughout it's existence. We aren't going to be able to stabilize it through our feeble human interventions....

Productivity has been stagnant /automation will increase it in some

This year increases are the same as inflation.
As we increase the retirement age(72)/
some just work till death.America as it is
does not have an upwardly mobile middle/lower
class , which would equatablly reward hard workers of all kind?I have no answers,---remember Politicians wanted to Social Security
