    Interesting. From the article: "Greta is worth about $1 million, making her the world's youngest and richest climate activist. Greta Thunberg's income sources include cash prizes for her activism, and earnings from her books, among other sources."

    Interesting what she has overcome as well. Depression, aspergers syndrome, selective mutism.....well.....selective mutism may not be bad depending on who is doing the selecting.

    If I was a brainwashed climate activist I would be depressed as well. She should excerse more selective mutism since she isn't worth listening to. Why does this girl get any credit or attention as if she is some sort of expert? Someone just needs to tell her to shutup and go be a kid.

    The climate activists around her used this disabled child as a sympathetic spokesperson for their radical agenda.

    It was child exploitation and abuse.

    peace to you

    Nah. I'm just not into demonizing people, much less a then 14 year old girl struggling with mental challenges.

    Knowing people with aspergers, they are typically able to focus extremely well on the trees, not so much on the Forrest.

    And, unlike you, I am not threatened by 14 year old girls.

    I can honestly say NO! I have a brother who is very wealthy and I do not covet his success one bit.
    The reason I question this 14 year old - is because how many 14 year olds are millionaires -

    But then again, my brother has worked extremely hard to obtain that success

    Puh-leeeze. Stahp with the dripping virtue already. Were she speaking for conservative causes you'd say nothing about her and demonize the Right for their exploitation.

    And she's 19.

    No. I am conservative. I do not know her politics, just read the article.

    She is 19. But the article made it appear as if she gave speeches a few years ago and is not a relevant figure.

    Either way, your fear of a 19 year old girl is still odd.

    It would be, if it was not @Aaron posting.

    He sees liberals and communists around every corner.

    This all started when I said I believed there was election fraud, but now Biden is unfortunately President. To him that made me a liberal.

    :Roflmao A lot of butthurt there.

    I pegged him as a liberal long before the election, when for show he would criticize some Democrat while at the same time mitigating the criticism with an indictment of the conservatives, but not doing the same when opening with a criticism of some Republican.

    Here he's trying to goad me presenting facts about the present government, which is against the rules here, to get me banned. I'm waiting for the right moment.

    This is, of course, a false statement. I was a conservative Republican until after last election when I decided not to vote in future elections.

    The issue is you were ignorant of the fact Biden was inaugurated as President and acted the fool on several threads. I pointed out to you that, although I believe there was election fraud, Biden was inaugurated President.

    You just could not deal with reality and chose to call anybody who disagrees with you on any topic a liberal Democrat.
