The 600k home he bought directly after the political campaign he pulled out of early?
He didn't pull out early; he lost the nomination and was as good as his word that he would support the eventual Democratic nominee.

And a $600k home isn't expensive or lavish by any American standard; average home sales price in Boulder, Colorado is over a million.

You're being suckered by information taken out of context.

AGAIN.

Seems to be a persistent blind spot for you, Stinkydigit.

Not mad at a guy for buying a fucking house. I see houses for that in California every day and a condo in Beverly hills costs twice that. So he has more than one. Way to live. A million is normal for 6 years salary. These people operate on five year plans, so buying a house and traveling for business and general living is covered. It's considered middle class to the very wealthy, or about twice the upper middle class to average folks or four times the lower middle class of 52,000 a year. If you put 1 billion in a bank for a year you get 4 million back every year. Bill Gates makes over $100 every minute. A ceo of most companies or the president of usa makes around 400,000 or twice as much as a top politicians. A ceo of a billion dollar company makes around one - two million a year. None of the ceo people on down have political buying power unless it's on behalf of someone in the upper echelon. That's the entire work force, management bosses and all. even the owners of most companies aren't true players though many think they are and back something bigger knowingly or not. Everyone has collective power but there is no collective. there are only parties and subdivisions.

the top 0.6% of world population (consisting of adults with more than 1 million USD in assets) or the 42 million richest people in the world held 39.3% of world wealth. The next 4.4% (311 million people) held 32.3% of world wealth. The bottom 95% held 28.4% of world wealth.

so the top 1% have more than a 3rd of the wealth the next 4% have a smaller 3rd and the other 95% of (7+ billion) have less than a third.

Or to put it in even more stark terms; the top 8 richest people in the world control more wealth than the bottom half, says Oxfam;

https://amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2017/jan/16/worlds-eight-richest-people-have-same-wealth-as-poorest-50

This situation is quite simply unacceptable and incompatible with the present and future well-being of our species.

Near the bottom of the article I posted just above, Oxfam says that the top 1% richest people in the world control more wealth than EVERYONE ELSE PUT TOGETHER.

Wealth inequality has destroyed America's middle class, destabilized Ebony's around the world and has left nearly half the planet in a daily struggle just to survive.

Greed is NOT good.

Herd them together, saves having to hunt them down one by one lol
I can understand why some big business rich fuckers want to cast doubt on climate change. They want less regulations and the ability to continue they way they are going without having to spend money on innovative change.

But why on earth would some regular joe Everyman buy into this shit? That doesn't make any sense to me. They don't have anything to gain by being right in thinking climate change is a hoax; yet everything to loose if they are wrong.

Is it just because the leaders of their right wing parties say it's so, so they have to go along with it to avoid embarrassment from supporting narrow minded self-serving liars? I supported Justin Trudeau in Canada. But if at this stage in the game he started talking about climate change being a global hoax, I would swiftly change my party affiliation.

What's so hard about saying you backed the wrong candidate? You were fooled by misinformation? It seems like a more logical stance to take rather than doubling down and agreeing with every asinine message some of the right come up with.

Happy belated Earth Day.

LOL

Stop listening to the uninformed idiot. Go to the DMI website: https://www.dmi.dk/en/groenland/maalinger/greenland-ice-sheet-surface-mass-budget/

They specifically say the opposite of what that fake climate analyst says:

Satellite observations over the last decade show that the ice sheet is not in balance. The calving loss is greater than the gain from surface mass balance, and Greenland is losing mass at about 200 Gt/yr.

Typical pseudo scientist begins with a conclusion then looks for data to confirm it. Avoid data contrary to it.

Ahhhaaahaahaaaa. A lost city under a sub glacial lake, magnetic anomalies, ancient mysteries and maybe clues to past human civilization. International cover up.

Didn't make it to 30 minutes. How can you not laugh at it?
They think they're being original...

They're literally stealing that shit almost exactly from Stargate Atlantis.
