#2 Large farmers or businesses have insurance. They make hay one way or another. 11 million acres as I recall. Shorter growing season also. Yes, lots of rain. Now lots of snow. "“The reduction in temperature will results in cold weathers on Earth, wet and cold summers, cold and wet winters,” said Zharkova. “We will possibly get big frosts as is happening now in Canada where they see [temperatures] of -50C". (Dr. Zharkova)

#3 "January in Moscow broke a record in the dark. (Meteonovosti)

The shortest duration of sunshine in the middle zone of European Russia, as a rule, is observed in December.

But this January was stingy in the sun. In Moscow, its duration was only 11 hours".

#4 Good opportunity to try something healthier.

I tossed a lot of that shit overboard in the past year and a half, or at least cut it down to once or twice a week. For snackin' I go with almonds, dark chocolate almonds ('cuz dark chocolate's good for you, so these must be twice as good for you), hippy trail mix, dried fruit slices and stuff like that.

With that and other diet modifications (pasta & bread - mostly out, rice - in, etc.), a year ago I was weighing 217; it's 191 now and holding steady.

#8 Interesting. Many years ago Oreos were what black people called successful blacks being black on the outside and white on the inside.

#9 ^That kind of talk drops way off when an increasingly large percentage of your population is successful. Which is what has been happening with black Americans.

...despite the burdens they face—from residential segregation to workplace discrimination to over incarceration—more than one-half of black men have made it into the middle or upper class as adults. This means that millions of black men are flourishing financially in America.

But how many black men have made it, specifically, into the American upper class? In a new analysis of Census data, we find that slightly more than one-in-five (or about 2.5 million) black men ages 18 to 64 have made it into the upper-third of the income distribution.

Source is Here. Also: the evidence of my own eyes.
