What bret and heather say is that the Amazon rain forest has been around so long that it has depleted the soil, which is something to keep in mind as we decide that the Earth should not change....it is always changing....with or without humans.

I'm not familiar with them. I don't know if depleted is the right word. I would say the forest has maximized the usage of the available nutrients.

The Social Democrats didn't become Nazis. And the Nazis didn't come to power through majority support, they tyrannically took over like the Soviets.
Again, read some history.

But they don't control all of congress. If they did, they'd cancel the next election.

Well he's been trying to rig the next election for a while now. So we at least know that he doesn't care for Democracy.
of course I do, Xi expressed it "Made in China 2025"

The Weimar Republic was a Social Democracy. Social Democracy birthed National Socialism.
Germany was the first modern welfare State before the WR was ever formed. All the parties in Germany, and there were a lot of them, were some form of Socialism.
Hitler had majority support in the Socialist's parliament. Socialists voted to make him dictator. He was given his power by a parliamentary vote.

Socialists are not Social Democrats. The Nazis did not have the supports of many Social Democrats, as they were openly hostile to Democracy from the start.
Read a book.

Clearly, you have never set foot on a college campus or taken a university level European history course.
The Social Democratic Party represented the mainstream German left. They were the main opponent of the Nazis in the 1932 election.
The German left, including the Social Democratic Party were the only Germans who opposed Hitler in any meaningful way. The German right and Prussian conservatives went along with Hitler.
After the 1933 Nazi Coup, the leadership of the Social Democratic Party were arrested, killed, oppressed by the Nazis. Hitler is arguably history's most notorious mass murderer of leftists.
As a tiny, fringe party in 1920s Germany, the Nazi Party used the lexicon Nationalist Socialist in a cynical attempt to appeal to both right wing nationalists and left wing socialists to gain electoral support.
Word games do not constitute verifiable facts.
The facts are these >
Hitler purged the Nazi Party of any left-leaning elements back in the 1920s. Once Hitler actually seized power, there was widespread repression of the political left. German socialists, communists, and liberals were rounded up, sent to concentration camps, executed, and oppressed. Hitler might be the biggest mass murderer of socialists in human history.
Private industry and capitalism continued to flourish in Nazi Germany, with the benefit of the state being privileged over a lassaize faire market posture. Nazi Germany practised a form of state capitalism, but Nazi capitalism does not represent the capitalism practiced in the western liberal democracies.
Nazi Germany was a corruption of capitalism in the way Leninism was a corruption of Marx.

I know nothing of the rain forest but the temperate hardwood forests around here have a surprisingly thin layer of top soil: maybe a few inches before you hit red clay. I think what happens is the nutrients are recycled when the leaves drop to the ground in the Fall.
And as they decompose the nutrients are returned to the soil. Their source of carbon is the air: photosynthesis to glucose and all that. I think basically what they get from the ground is minerals and water.
Trees don’t typically have the same soil requirements that crops do. You can literally strip a hillside clean and the trees will come back sooner or later. Good luck getting crops to grow on it.

You're fine as long as you specify within the context of a republic, otherwise you are describing all states immediately preceding a transition.
Revolutions are democracies that quickly result in either a republic, e.g. the US, or an oligarchy, e.g. Venezuela, Cuba, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Mao's China, Pol Pot's Cambodia, etc...
If you specify a republican context then you are clarifying that the "democracy" is constrained to laws and certain individual rights are protected, i.e. the mob does not rule but rather there is rule of law.

This election is about the Social Democrats voting to impalement One Party Rule. Free elections will become a charade as they did under the National Socialism that Germany voted to implement.
From the start? ... in 1920?

The German right were Socialists, too. There was nothing conservative or libertarian about them.
The only thing Hitler was to the right of, was Marxism. Hitler created a massive welfare State and Obamacare.

I happen to luv botany, so I am a little informed on the topic.
Interestingly, trees suck most of the energy back out of their leaves before they discard them. This is why they change color before they fall off. So decomposing wood would be the biggest recycler. Leaf litter is important, too. But I don't think it is the major contributor.
Clay is nutrient rich compared to most soils. Plants are able to absorb nutrients from clay. And yes, you are basically correct about the minerals and water.

... says the totally ignorant moron who believes in fairies, forcings and a Climate goddess.
Tell me again, how does the earth spontaneously increase in temperature without additional energy? Clearly, you have never set foot on a high school campus or taken a high school-level physics course.
Wrong. Industry certainly existed, but the Four Year Plan took all businesses out of the control of those who were supposedly the "owners" on paper and made Herman Goering the actual owner, President and CEO.
That's a euphemism for socialism, you moron. There is no such thing as a free market that is completely controlled by the state. Clearly, you have never taken a high school-level economics course.
Why are you trying to force the word "capitalism" to describe NAZI socialism?
I've heard people argue that NAZI socialism was a corruption of textbook Marxist socialism but you are the first I've seen work overtime to delude himself into believing that Hitler somehow wanted to bring capitalism to Deutschland.

Filling seats is NOT court packing, you lying piece of shit.
Court Packing is increasing the number of Justices on the Scotus. FDR tried to pack the courts. He attempted to increase it from 9 to 15.
Everyone knows this. Why don't you?
Hey liar, since you have been shown to be a fool, and a liar, why not change the topic, right?
Now then, just to address your latest attempt at appearing "intelligent", and failing as usual, you do understand there is more then one way to "pack" a system (you are too stupid to understand this, as usual), and it does not require the increasing of numbers. It only requires setting the majority in your favor. Since most justices are picked from the lower Courts it is the method chosen by McConnell to insure two things:
1. That the lower Courts will rule in a way that advances the Republican agenda of fascism;
2. That SCOTUS will not reverse the rulings of the lower Court.
Thus the Courts are being "packed" with unqualified judges sympathetic to the cause of the right wing.

"court packing
