"Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed French foreign minister Laurent Fabius to the State Department in Washington on Tuesday to discuss a range of issues, from Iran to Syria to climate change. Or, in the words of the foreign minister, "climate chaos." Kerry and Fabius made a joint appearance before their meeting, and the foreign minister warned that only 500 days remained to avoid "climate chaos"[emphasis added]:

Well, I’m very happy to be with John. There is no week without a phone call or a visit between John and myself, and we have on the agenda many items, many issues – Iran, because negotiations are resuming today; the question of Syria, and we shall meet next Thursday in London together; Ukraine as well; and very important issues, issue of climate change, climate chaos. And we have – as I said, we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos. And I know that President Obama and John Kerry himself are committed on this subject and I’m sure that with them, with a lot of other friends, we shall be able to reach success on this very important matter.

It is unclear what the foreign minister had in mind with the 500 days. However, France is scheduled to host the "21st Conference of the Parties on Climate Change" in December 2015, about 565 days from now."

I'm ahead of the game. I knew my timing was right to sell off some property.

Actually everything is geared more and more to reward people who never saved and making people who did save expend their savings to do the same thing.

There's a Michigan State property Tax Break you can get if you're low income. Except the state has gotten pissed that old people are low income and qualify for the break. The break is meant for young deadbeats it seems. If the old people never saved they'd qualify still, but they've tried to change it so more or less if you have savings or a pension, you don't qualify even if your earning numbers say you do. Also my Mother's property tax claim gets more scrutiny than mine ever has partly to limit/disqualify her for the break.
