"We know that until Obamacare we had the best, most productive health care system in existence, " We know that is a myth. "The Left is willing to bet the future on the climate change bogey man," Good news; your drought may break this week. Tropical Disturbance May Become a Tropical Depression Near Mexico and Will Increase Moisture in the U.S. This Week weather.com = elsewhere JUNE 2, 2019 India heatwave temperatures pass 50 Celsius An Indian boy tries to cool off by dousing himself with water in New Delhi on May 29, 2019 during a heatwave Temperatures passed 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) in northern India as an unrelenting heatwave triggered warnings of water shortages and heatstroke. The thermometer hit 50.6 degrees Celsius (123 Fahrenheit) in the Rajasthan desert city of Churu on Saturday, the weather department said. All of Rajasthan suffered in severe heat with several cities hitting maximum temperaturesabove 47 Celsius. In May 2016, Phalodi in Rajasthan recorded India's highest-ever temperature of 51 Celsius (123.8 Fahrenheit). The Indian Meteorological Department said severe heat could stay for up to a week across Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh states. Several deaths from heatstroke have already been recorded. A red alert severe heat warning has been issued in the capital New Delhi as temperatures passed 46 Celsius, and residents were advised not to go out during the hottest hours of the day. Even in the hill state of Himachal Pradesh, where many wealthy Indians go to escape the summer heat, temperatures reached 44.9 Celsius in Una. Several major cities, led by Chennai, have reported fears of water shortages as lakes and rivers start to dry up. In the western state of Maharashtra, farmers struggled to find water for thirsty animals and crops. "We have to source water tankers from nearby villages as water reserves, lakes and rivers have dried up," said Rajesh Chandrakant, a resident of Beed, one of the worst-hit districts. "Farmers only get water every three days for their livestock." Raghunath Tonde, a farmer with a family of seven, said the area has suffered worsening shortages for five years. "There is no drinking water available for days on end and we get one tanker every three days for the entire village," Tonde told AFP. "We are scared for our lives and livelihood," he added. The Hindustan Times newspaper said many Beed residents had stopped washing and cleaning clothes due to the water shortage. More than 40 percent of India faces drought this year, experts from Gandhinagar city's Indian Institute of Technology, warned last month. The annual monsoon—which normally brings much needed rain to South Asia—is running a week behind schedule and is only expected to hit India's southern tip on June 6, the weather department said. And private forecaster Skymet has said there will be less rain than average this year. The Indian peninsula has seen a drastic change in rainfall patterns over the past decade, marked by frequent droughts, floods and sudden storms. phys.org

Look at it from my generation's point of view. We have to spend decades paying down school debt, something our parents didn't have to do. We'll have lower pay than our parents, and we have massive debt from this generation who refused to pay its bills. If you followed anything I've written I'm a full fledge capitalist but I also understand why so many people are leaning towards socialism. Capitalism doesn't exist anymore. The fact that we'll spend every day of our lives paying back debt created by this generation (and we'll write the history of this generation) should tell you where we're coming from. I also stated in another post that many of our farmers received millions of dollars in government subsidies. I even included a map showing where all the money is going. That's not capitalism. I also say that republicans passed a multi trillion tax cut before CBO even scored it with many US CEOs wanting the tax cut before they knew its cost. I asked the simplest of questions. Who spends that much money and creates that much debt before knowing how much it costs? Is any of this capitalism? And finally, I also said that repubicans borrow money from our Treasury, give it to their donors and then we end up funding their campaigns with government debt, debt my generation has to pay back (with interest). It'll be very hard to move this new generation towards any sort of capitalism since it's failed so miserably under the leadership of the republican party. What I can do is blame them and not capitalism.
