@ArvindKrishna you’re on the hook for Jim’s obfuscation/ willful misinformation. Replace him. Or be tarred.

@IBM OR. Jim is covering something up - like GE or Intel or Boeing. Do you notice analysts DO NOT want to ask Jim questions?

@IBM and, if you feel you have no one who understands your ridiculous accounting, HE ISNT DOING HIS JOB! He’s blocking progress.

@IBM you have to replace Jim. I have been a shareholder (in reduce mode) for 10 years. I’m so sick of his directionless cheerleading. He is the epitome of Old IBM.

@andrewrsorkin you probably believed this as well. Dumb.

@andrewrsorkin heard your comments on Squawk this morning. Kamala lies all the time. Double Standard much? Crazy

@CBSNews we will not be watching @CBS in our house again. I don’t blame Norah O’Donnell per se. she just wants to keep her job. @CBSNews has chosen to completely diss at least 50% of the US voting population. Damn them.

@andrewrsorkin how can you possibly believe Harris is a better alternative? You’re disingenuous.

@DavidSacks The worst thing is she thinks she says intelligent things.

Seriously?

Let's do this again. . . Here are 10 fundamental questions that climate pant-soilers never answer. ➊ You claim that the Earth is overheating. That it’s “too hot.” So, what is the correct global mean surface temperature (GMST) for life on Earth and why? 🌡️ Please provide a numerical answer. Use units and round it to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius. Then, explain why that value is ideal and cite evidence to justify your answer. ➋ What is the correct atmospheric CO₂ level for life on Earth? What is best to optimize our agricultural productivity? 🌽 What CO₂ level will make da weatha less scary? 🌪️ Give your answer as an exact value as a mole fraction or volume percentage, and then explain why that value is ideal. ➌ What exactly makes CO₂ “pollution”? The EPA considers CO₂ to be a pollutant, legally speaking, under the Clean Air Act, and their scientific justification is simply that, it “…𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑛ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑔𝑎𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑓𝑎𝑟𝑒.” 🔗epa.gov/climate-change… That’s pretty ambiguous. Because by that measure, water vapor should also be classified as a “pollutant” because it’s also a “greenhouse gas” (GHG) — it’s also the most abundant and potent GHG; it absorbs a wider spectrum of IR wavelengths than CO₂. 🌈 So, what actually makes CO₂ pollution? ➍ Why are temperature departures from 1850-1900 climate conditions deemed as the human welfare control knob given that the overall human condition has never been better than it is today? How is was climate during the end of the Little Ice Age — the coldest period in the last 10,000-years — preferable to today’s? On what account was the weather more benign? By what measure? Be specific. Tell me how the climate was supposedly less dangerous in the 17-19th centuries. ➎ The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that President Biden signed into law in 2022 was popularized as the “biggest climate bill in history,” but ever since the bill was signed, climate alarmists insist climate change has only gotten worse. Why are we not seeing the bill work its magic? 🎩 🪄 🔗axios.com/2024/07/21/bid… ➏ If we spend $75 trillion to decarbonize the economy by 2050, by how much will it reduce the GMST by the end of the century? Please provide your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius and show your calculations. What does the perfect climate look like? How will we know when we get there? By what measure? ➐ The estimated cost of net zero by the year 2050 in the U.S. is $75 trillion ($3 trillion per year), according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. 💰 🔗politico.com/news/2024/07/2… That’s a hefty price tag. 🏷️ And with ~260 million adult taxpayers, it would cost each of us $288,461.54 to get to “net zero emissions” by the target date. That’s 3-6-years’ worth of peoples’ salaries. Are you willing to shell out that money, or do you just expect that everyone else will foot the bill for you? 🤔 Secondly, if you don’t know the answer to question six, then are we supposed to just spend that $75 trillion and see what happens? 🤨 ➑ If “combating climate change” is a global concerted effort, why do China and India get a free pass to continue emitting carbon dioxide without bound? ➒ Why are you so vehemently opposed to the deployment of nuclear power? It is the safest, most sustainable “carbon-free” energy technology and without the compliance regulations, isn’t expensive when compared to solar PV and wind, which are inefficient, intermittent, costly add-ons to existing electricity generation sources. ➓ If humans are a parasite to the Earth since we are destroying it, why then are you worried that climate change could wipe us all out? Wouldn’t that be better for Earth? Why don’t you be the change you want to see and “net zero” yourself? I guarantee not one person will give me a coherent point-by-point answer.

@ScottJenningsKY @CNN Who is that stupid girl? She’s completely wrong. Just because she wrote about it doesn’t magically make it true. Dumb

The repeated attempts to distort and lie about Trump’s position on IVF are astounding. He supports it, and that’s the GOP position. I tackled that and the Cheney turnabout on life last night on @cnn

@andersoncooper how do you keep a straight face? Your viewpoints are so ignorant.

@elonmusk Quite right - and I speak as a Brit. These politicians do not speak for the British populace.

This is war

@shellenberger @elonmusk God knows who the UK govt thinks it is. We’re well past the influence of the British Empire.

@elonmusk Yes, the UK government is trying to deny free speech to the world:

I don’t believe anyone in $ERIC management has never ‘asked for the order’. Too impolite I guess.

@Convertbond Those were the days.

On Black Monday, October 19, 1987 — working with my Dad at his brokerage firm. He asked me to call the floor, phones ringing off the hook. Me: “I need to sell x shares of IBM.” Trader: “98 bid.” Me: “Well, my machine says $119.” Trader: “Well, sell it to your machine then.”

@RedWallPleb @KonstantinKisin @SWP_Britain @SadiqKhan @jeremycorbyn This is crazy. Some cohorts in UK reacting like this to a justified shooting (very unusual in and of itself as we know in UK), signals a nefarious US type social influence.

Amazing watching people protesting for "Justice for Chris Kaba". Justice was served the day he was shot.

@mcuban You’ve truly lost it.
