The global warming stuff is more of an ancillary excuse to clamp on regulations on existing US factories, power plants and industry. A mantra for the rubes to embrace so they can mask their anti-capitalism behind a save the planet/I'm a good person blanket.

Currency manipulation by the Chinese has accelerated the exodus and Trump is right when he says our leaders are too stupid to know how to deal with foreign nations exploiting FDR's minimum wage law which, as could be predicted, would cut down our labor force at the knee caps.

Goebbels knew if a lie is repeated often enough it becomes the truth - even if the plain facts are out there. These boards are mute testimony to the ability of people to believe in what they want to believe. How many people on the planet know about the Earth's magnetosphere? Of those, how many know it's role in breaking down and recreating ozone in the arctic? Of those, how many know that the poles are migrating and moving whole bands of solar radiation with it? You might be able to fit them in a single auditorium somewhere with plenty of extra seats.

That's the problem. Our world is scientifically illiterate. The scientists pushing global warming are like the lock-mart designers pushing the F-35. They will push crap on anyone for a price and to be part of an ongoing gravy train. The rest are the useful idiots that are filled with hate for capitalism and have been TAUGHT that its fundamentally evil.

Like Jihadists trained as children to believe martyrdom is a pathway to Allah, the millennial gen, gen Y and large portions of gen X are seriously clueless about the value of capitalism versus socialism and are, for the most part, historically and scientifically illiterate.

Obama can travel to Alaska and claim climate change is the greatest threat to mankind and 33 percent of the electorate will not have the *mental capacity* to deny it. 120 million people or so that take it on *faith* and not knowing is actually what makes them fervent believers. It's a defense mechanism.

But I'm rambling now and it's way late. Thanks for the chart. I love how all those charts start right after the minimum wage kicked in.
