Yes, Britain, Brazil, India....it seems like these nations saw what happened in the US and decided to go down the same road. Human authoritarianism is inherently evil , but perhaps machine intelligence would make the best decisions for everyone and not being able to be swayed by money, it would look for long term goals, rather than short term benefits

Well, I was actually thinking of technological authoritarianism. Machine intelligence of the highest order.....AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).....as a fellow science fiction aficionado I was curious what you think of a system run by the greatest super intelligence that could ever exist, that cannot be bought by or with money, making relentlessly rational and logical decisions that are for the best for the most number of people as well as for the planet as a whole. We have learned another 22 species have officially been removed from the endangered species list and moved into the extinct category. Perhaps with AGI running the entire planet, much wiser decisions would be made and such finality would not have to occur.

Greta Thunberg blasts world leaders https://twitter.com/i/events/1442953344855597058 She's 10000% right in times of emergency, authoritarianism is actually better than democracy, but it has to be the right (left) kind of authoritarianism

it's way better than cold. I want it to stay in the 70s through the end of October. early cold weather sucks it's not good for anything sunny and 70s and low humidity during the day and 50s at night with clear skies is the best possible weather

it's going to be in the 30s tomorrow night on Long Island, too bad it's going to be October 1 not September 30

all the humidity and periods leading up to rainfall cause me extreme problems with allergies and some breathing issues. I take allergy meds but I noticed that I have to take them much more now than I did in the past.

I'm thinking that this is our new average rainfall....I think we've had 50 or more inches of rain more often than not, compared to the 80s when it only happened in 1983. I'm not sure it happened at all in the 90s.

Now that we got the record, I dont want a single drop of rain for the rest of the year

but there is no more means Walt, this is how disgustingly wet and humid our climate has become

and if we dont get a single drop of rain for the rest of the year I'll be very happy

but whats wrong with dry weather? I love it. we've had more than enough rain for the entire year....this isn't supposed to be the gulf coast

we've all had more than enough rain this year my ideal yearly rainfall is 40 inches

Instead of killing people in meaningless wars, our military should be bombing these people who are destroying the environment, which affects everyone on the planet. Any and all of these people who are destroying the Amazon should cease to exist. (Same goes for the fossil fuel cartels.)

They're supposed to have gorgeous beaches there lol

BAAL

stupid ragweed !#$^^&

Has JFK ever had a September where they never had a high below 70?

How far away were you from it? I love the deep blue sky background and the purple flowers (I wonder what they are?) as well as the Monarch! Why cant we have this kind of weather all year round?

Don looks like the warmth will continue to be centered in the middle of the country and Canada, not here? Nice fall weather here. And I think we can cautiously say that the chances for anything tropical are much less now. Most storms will either recurve or hit the Gulf.

That is the SON OF SAM !

this is wonderful fall weather, we've been around 55 for a few days here already and looks like we might get into the upper 40s in a few days later this week

I'm perfectly fine with that. Rain gets boring and dismal and dreary. I love this low humidity weather, I am fine with 70s by day and 50s by night through the end of October!

wow Teterboro was 4 degrees warmer than Newark? Thats new

I guess JFK is a city now lol

I woke up in the middle of the night and it felt like a sauna..... and this was in the Poconos! We had severe storms overnight with temps near 70 during the day and those storms at night. Actually it was still in the upper 60s at night when those storms came through
