Highlights
• Heat has been associated with decreased productivity and cognitive performance
• We find warmer temperatures to reduce language complexity of politicians
• In Germany, we observe a larger effect of warm days on older politicians
• Climate change could reduce the speech complexity and productivity of politicians

Summary
Climate change carries important effects on human wellbeing and performance, and increasingly research is documenting the negative impacts of out-of-comfort temperatures on workplace performance. In this study, we investigate the plausibly causal effect of extreme temperatures, i.e., out-of-comfort, on language complexity among politicians, leveraging a fixed effects strategy. We analyze language complexity in over seven million parliamentary speeches across eight countries, connecting them with precise daily meteorological information. We find hot days reduce politicians’ language complexity, but not cold days. Focusing on one country, we explore marginal effects by age and gender, suggesting high temperatures significantly impact older politicians at lower thresholds. The findings propose that political rhetoric is not only driven by political circumstances and strategic concerns but also by physiological responses to external environmental factors. Overall, the study holds important implications on how climate change could affect human cognitive performance and the quality of political discourse.

Biden isn't a slurring, brain dead retard! Oh no, it's the fault of mean ol' Mr. Climate Change again, and that evil sky daddy is gonna make Darth Trumpus win because the anthropomorphic personification of man's climate sins (but don't call it a god, we're scientists here) is evil.
 
they are when your expendable income is so low, Jeffrey Dahmer in the 1980s could get the equivilent of a $35/hr job just by asking with literally no qualifications. and why? because of a little thing called factories and a shitload of jobs and an incredibly hard time advertising beyond your small town for them.

Meanwhile having a $35/hr job won't even let you afford an apartment by yourself if you went by the percentage rules of the 1980s.

Rising cost of living is driven by government deficits and immigration. Cutting the effective tax rate from 6% to 1% will just make deficits worse.
 
"To hear Americans say that America is not a Democracy stops me in my tracks!"

You think you hate journalists enough, but you don't.

they know, but they want to be outraged for the propaganda anyway. they're not stupid, they just want you to believe their lies, so they commit as hard as they can. do not let them fool you.

I don’t watch TV anymore, every once in a while I will see a clip somewhere and just marvel at the degeneration.

This fat soy goblin is, apparently, a Respected Journalist.

This guy wouldn’t have been allowed to drive the cable truck in the 90s. Say what you will about the helmet hair and the Mitt Romney blandness of journalists back then, but they didn’t wear sunglasses while trying to conduct interviews.

Anti-charisma. Amazing.

This is so fucking retarded a take it is giving me a fucking headache.

It is not the temperature doing that it is the fact that the people creating the propaganda now are fucking mush brained faggots full of HRT and black cock.

We are reaching levels of copium that shouldn't even be possible, holy shit.
 
What's your take on what would happen if they replaced Biden this late in the game?
I don't see it going over well. The majority of the Democrats legitimate voter base is people who have bought into what the media has told them, and that includes that Biden is doing well. Swapping him out this late would be tactic admission that he is in fact not doing well, and that would likely shock those voters as they wouldn't understand the switch and start asking questions.

It would be no difference for the dead voters and the illegal voters. The illiterate voters may not change their stance much either.
 
Sadly, Trump would have helped to foster young leadership. His ego would demand it because it would secure his place as the greatest ever. However the GOP wants to keep taking every L they can find.
Trump is by far the least dynamic and future-oriented politician in the field today. He has refused to grow or change at all, he staffed his cabinet in a way that was ultimately indistinguishable from Jeb! but he did it slower and after failing to secure any talent in his cabinet. He let John Bolton into his government. Fucking John Bolton. He's got no judgment, and he is not capable of working with anyone experienced or with a constituency, nor is he capable of persuading them to his side. To any republican operator in Washington in 2016

He wanted Romney to work for him. ROMNEY. He's got no talent at picking personnel, he's got no successor, which is a problem when your diet is big macs and diet coke in your fucking 70s. No one over 70 should be allowed to serve in government in any official capacity. Their selfishness and fear of death without accomplishing the last thing dangling in front of them makes them myopic and incapable of constructive political work. He's as bad as Obama was in terms of seizing control of the party and destroying its talent development.

Trump's movement is him, and no one else. He couldn't even command the loyalty of his VP, Obama managed that much, even if it's no real accomplishment to pull the wool over ol cornpop's eyes. Trump's got supporters and lackeys, his movement doesn't. He's not building an institution, MAGA is anathema to an overwhelming majority of Americans, he can't crack 50% in an election. Obama was a bad president, a worse party leader, but at least he could fucking triangulate, lie, and function politically. His people working on behalf of Biden are at least competent even if their goals are detestable--Ukraine ended up being a massive win for the US. We depleted stockpiles of weapons we weren't using or gonna use, convinced industrial planners to rearm, gotten Europe to pay through the nose for our LNG, the dollar hasn't collapsed in value, the ruble, euro, and pound have. Nato has expanded to new, rich countries desperate to recast their collaboration with Hitler as resistance against Stalin (lol finland). Who cares how much debt we run up when our creditors are desperate for us to protect them at any cost at all? Borrowing is reckless when you don't have a gun to the head of the guy with a gun to your creditors. Meanwhile Russia has lost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of men, there's no way they're interested in another war, and isolated our only military rival.

He's got rabid fans and a following--but they're not inheritable, and there is no force in the party that even matters outside of him. He picks unstable, undisciplined losers to support, because his movement really attracts and appeals to and is rhetorically based on appealing to losers. The people who tried to ride the wave with him got shaken off, the loyalty only goes one way--to Trump, and there is nothing he really cares to give his base but crumbs, bullshit, and more chances to hear him riff for a couple hours on the same themes (for fucking 8 years now) for their money.

The USD is about as dominant as ever, there are really no alternatives, China's financial system is not mature enough, its capital markets and legal systems are hopelessly backward, and the people uniting against the United States are poor, retarded, and weak and have a fraction of our industrial potential and wealth. China's the leader of a gang of beggars. Good job with your share of global GDP, by combining a bunch of poor dysfunctional countries with untested (Brazil, China, India,) or underperforming (Russia) or on the brink of state collapse (South Africa) militaries. If you call it fake money, well, go get paid in yuan and see how real that shit is when you can't even buy airline tickets outside of Ctrip because hardly anyone fucking takes UnionPay. Hell, given Russia's experience getting its shit pushed in by an equally corrupt but better motivated (and for a time better equipped with superior battlefield vision) army. China is probably not interested in invading Taiwan, if they were they wouldn't be building aircraft carriers, since those have limited utility in a cross-strait conflict and would be sunk even if they were deployed usefully protecting China's new gains in Myanmar.
 
If it happens, it won’t be their choice, it’ll be because Biden drops dead.

If that happens, will they be obligated to run his VP, presumably Kamala?
Dems might want to make sure Jill drops dead along with Joe Biden, as she will certainly will not leave the White House voluntarily.
 
Say it with me now: Trump isn't as based as these people make him out to be.

Trump term 2 will be a lot more like Trump term 1. No locking people up. No fixing the problems in government. More transfers of wealth upwards. More kicking the can that is the economy down the road.
A vote for Trump is a vote for moar gibs to Israel. That’s it. Biden or any other Democrat will hem and haw before cutting them a check but Trump will be loud n’ proud about giving Israel more money that we don’t actually have. It has not been explained to me why one is better than the other.
