Much of what? the 7% of stocks owned by 90% of Americans? I think at some point the richest 10% don’t need their money to be in retirement funds anymore.

The wealthiest Americans have never owned so much of the stock market, with the top 10% now holding a record 93% of US equities, according to Federal Reserve data.

Americans broadly have been participating in the stock market at a higher rate, with a record 58% of households owning stocks in 2023, according to the Fed’s Survey of Consumer Finances.

Still, stock ownership is skewed toward the top: by comparison, the bottom 50% of Americans owned just 1% of all stocks and mutual fund shares in the third quarter, central bank data shows.

From 2 years ago, but I can’t imagine the situation has changed for the better since then.

Alas Tim Apple, we hardly knew ye.

Back in April, apparently.

What country would you want to move to? I’ve heard plenty of people reference countries with no extradition, but I never really looked into which ones those actually were. Without knowing anything about it, I think I’d go with Vanuatu.

What do you mean no effect? All the rebuilding of buildings and lives will be great for the GDP!

In Dolphin, right-click the file (analog stick click)

I was wondering how you right click

I’m pretty sure it’s not AI generated. https://9gag.com/gag/aL0Gq7z here it is on 9gag from 2020, where you can see a handle for Craig Stirling. Looks like Craig posted this image on facebook back around May of 2020, which is probably close to the time it was originally created.

I knew I saw it a few years ago, but it can be so hard to find old images. Also, probably the best version is over on reddit, but it’s a little less political.

Edit: I really shouldn’t try to speak to this image. I just knew I saw basically the same thing before, this particular iteration could be AI considering it doesn’t really look like Craig Stirling’s.

Secret Service cites ‘heightened threat environment’ as air defense systems deployed at Mar-a-Lago and airport

I hadn’t heard of it either

Eating fruit and vegetable scraps such as peels and stalks could provide a health boost that most of us are missing, say UK researchers.

They say scraps are an overlooked source of dietary fibre and are encouraging people to try “root-to-tip” eating, including watermelon rind, pineapple core and butternut squash seeds.

I was going to agree with the article, but nevermind. There has to be a better way to get your fiber.

I don’t think you should be discounting the Iran war like that. Unless you’re combining them both with whatever other conflicts that are bound to come up into a WW2.5 if not a full blown WW3.

I don’t think you can see a comment’s edit history, or at the very least I don’t know how to do it.

I can’t imagine a reason to not tax them for 99% of their wealth, unless they’re the ones controlling the legislation.

You were literally proving their point and got attacked for it. Must be frustrating.

As the title of the post might suggest, Monster Hunter. I don’t know which one specifically though, it’d be one of the newer ones.

An inverted appeal to authority? Because a famous philosopher hated a new thing that ended up being good, you want to assume all new things will be good.

It would also be an over-generalization because it isn’t considering the reasons Plato was against books and if all new technologies and changes would have any relation to those reasons.

Maybe in the future, cows won’t produce methane and we’ll just have to worry about land use and the efficiency of raising cows for food. But historically and presently, they produce a huge amount of methane and contribute significantly to climate change.

I also note that the methane isn’t a big problem, cattle methane is probably tiny compared to fossil methane

This specifically is why I replied to you: you didn’t know something, made a guess, and were very wrong about it.

and yet the methane overhead of a cow is stable, and doesn’t grow over time, its not a net contributor.

Emissions have increased by 5.2 percent (9.5 MMT CO2 Eq.) since 1990. This increase in emissions from 1990 to 2022 generally follows the increasing trends in cattle populations.

You really just don’t bother reading things if they go against your world view, don’t you?

That’s also an old QAnon conspiracy and why Comet Ping Pong got shot up a decade ago. Please exercise skepticism and don’t commit any terror attacks.

Methane (CH4) is significantly more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere: by a factor of 28 over a 100-year time frame based on the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report estimate (IPCC 2013). Over the last 250 years, the concentration of CH4 in the atmosphere increased by 161.9 percent (IPCC 2013; NOAA/ESRL 2024b). Within the United States, the main anthropogenic sources of CH4 include enteric fermentation from domestic livestock, natural gas systems, landfills, domestic livestock manure management, flooded land, coal mining, and petroleum systems (see Figure ES-8).

Significant trends for the largest sources of anthropogenic CH4 emissions include the following:

• Enteric fermentation was the largest anthropogenic source of CH4 emissions in the United States in 2022, accounting for 27.4 percent of total CH4 emissions and 3.0 percent of total gross emissions. Emissions have increased by 5.2 percent (9.5 MMT CO2 Eq.) since 1990. This increase in emissions from 1990 to 2022 generally follows the increasing trends in cattle populations.
• Natural gas systems were the second largest anthropogenic source category of CH4 emissions in the United States in 2022, accounting for 24.6 percent of total CH4 emissions and 2.7 percent of total gross emissions. Emissions have decreased by 20.9 percent (45.7 MMT CO2 Eq.) since 1990, largely due to decreases in emissions from distribution, transmission, and storage.

Methane from cows and other livestock is absolutely a big problem, it’s more than all the known gas leaks from fossil fuels in the United States. There are probably a lot more gas leaks we don’t know about, but that doesn’t diminish just how much methane we know livestock produces.

it was a non-sequitur, it had nothing to do with the biocycle.

Because your post is about pollutants, remember? Cows produce excessive amounts of methane, which is a very potent greenhouse gas.

I don’t see this as a problem, we have a billion people with type 2 diabetes, getting them off carbs would have a huge improvement in their lives, health, and environmental impact (being sick is expensive).

I don’t know why I bother talking to you.

Also, the population of cows currently on earth is unnaturally high, and convincing more people to adopt a carnivore diet would only raise it more.

I don’t know if you just don’t bother reading things or if you silently disagree with and ignore them.

Nonsense, there are no good cops.
