Facebook Worth More Than General Electric ???

Facebook surpassed General Electric, which traces its history back to Thomas Edison and the first light bulb, in market value Thursday as the U.S. economy sheds the last of its industrial influence and moves firmly into a digital age decades in the making.

This is a prime example of how the US economy is a sick joke. Facebook does nothing other than market information you give it for free.

If we continue down this road, America will never be great again ... no matter what The Donald says or does.

This report spells out what's coming next:

Though most countries around the globe agree that warming must be limited to 2 degrees Celsius to avoid the raft of climate risks, they clash about who should do what to reach this target. Hence the issue of allocating greenhouse-gas emissions reductions will be key for the outcome of the world climate summit COP21 in Paris. Scientists now found what amount of emissions reductions it takes for a major economy to lead out of the climate gridlock. They conclude that effectively limiting climate change is possible if a major economy acts as a forerunner, while other nations follow and, importantly, by doing so they do not have to agree on common criteria for fairness.

"If either the European Union or the US would pioneer and set a benchmark for climate action by others, the negotiation logjam about fair burden sharing could be broken," lead author Malte Meinshausen from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the University of Melbourne says. "Our analysis shows that they would have to roughly double their current domestic 2030 emissions reductions targets, which would certainly require substantial efforts. Yet it seems to be one of the few options to stay on track for eventually limiting warming below 2°C and fend off a drastic increase of weather extremes and sea-level rise."

That's right: the remainder of the US economy is going to be sacrificed so that the coercive utopians can save the planet.

But don't expect any of the oligarchs, bankgangsters, or corporations to suffer along the way. They got the gold mine, and all We The People will get is the shaft.
