Economics 101: 1)You CAN have an environment without an economy. 2)You CAN’T have a (financial) economy without people, and there are no people without an Environment (food & water just for a start) Fact: stevenmnuchin1 =failed investor with undergrad degree. Davos

It's not about who is saying, it's about what is being said. Kudos to Greta

Greta who?! Poster girl for Americans with Disabilities Act. Oops she’s Swedish.

Mnuchin will live long enough to understand how he destroyed his credibility, and indeed his entire reputation for having followed a corrupt leader. GretaThunberg

How’d you figure that?

Yeah it’s weird, I don’t listen to advise from my teen either.

Well I appreciate Greta for creating awareness since the majority of us were engrossed with our own lives but not same with her idea of givingup flying and fossil fuels, these seems very impractical, otherwise better alternative should be there.

He is right.

...from the OneWest Bank guy. We've failed. ...let's remove some more rules that protected us from past failures. f it.

The US or anyone...

No more Asphalt streets, no rubber tires, hoses, wipers etc... stupid!

EcoTerorrist Greta Thunberg

Is there some kind of implication here from Minuchin that the President of the United States IS in some way 'qualified' regarding this kind of public policy? It seems research into that resulted in the book 'A Very Stable Genius'.

It's TRUE...

She is a kid and kids are not qualified to lecture adults on anything, period.

I'm really tired of this puppet

Qualified or not, Greta for Secretary of Treasury.

he’s not qualified either but at least he’s not yelling through a bullhorn

She’s not qualified to lecture anyone.

Mnuchin isn't qualified to be Sec'y of the Treasury, either

Spoiler : neither is he.

She’s not. She clearly doesn’t remember that the I’ve age melted long before humans industrialized. Nor does she have any scientific training. Hell, her frontal lobe isn’t even fully developed yet.

“Shhh”, “Quiet”, “I have to leave. I have a meeting”. Trump’s freedom of speech. “Shhh. Quiet.” Then he goes on and on. For hours. Talking about how great he and his kids are. He never engages. Never a conversation. Always a rant on his greatness. Ridiculous.

NEITHER IS TRUMP!

She’s briefed and brainwashed by her left wing/fascist handlers and financially supported by George Soros and Greenpeace. When she’s asked questions she looks to her handlers to help with the reply. This is child abuse

Freedom of speech. Freedom to express yourself. The American government is alway subject to “freedom of speech”. Address grievances. Freedom of opinion. Freedom to criticize. Freedom to be who you are and freedom to say what’s in your mind. Not trump’s version of free speech.

I suscribe.

atleast she cares about the environment and not the damn market or waddeva

GretaThunberg very likely values, respects the United States' Constitution far more than MoneybagsMnuchin and his decorative babe.

Trumps adult children qualified to work at the White House

You don't need to be a baker to know you have a bad pie....

Well, of course not! 🤡🇺🇸

The irony is this administration doesn’t even listen to those who are qualified that are scientist or other professionals that helped create the studies, research and hard facts about Climate Change. So for him to criticize anybody is just comical....

Can't kill the message so kill the messenger? Who cares about what this ex Goldman Sachs has to say?

Says ex film producer and foreclosure king. Lol.

And her face says it all, “maybe you aren’t qualified to lecture me.”

He’s telling the truth.

335 million people living an Amish lifestyle. Sure. And, China would follow along, too. Sure.

Interesting how GretaThunberg thinks she’s can align herself with scientists around the world. Someone is clearly spoon feeding her rhetoric and making money off it. Just as algore did to people around the world - he profited greatly from it.

Bernie's Green New Deal Is Cheaper Than Climate Change

'And a little child shall lead them.'

Well then who is?

It’s true, she’s just some child being propped up by invisible hands.

She’s not. Your breaking big news aren’t you😂😂😂😂😂

He's right.

Mnuchin isn't qualified to have the job he does, yet here we are...

Go back to school young lady.

Trump wasn't qualified to be the president but look where we are

She knows more about climate change and the environment than the whole GOP party.

Let’s see if he has that same stance when it comes to climate change. That would mean that all GOP members should shut their mouths on climate change until the graduate with a degree in meteorology.

Or anyone else, for that matter.

Obey thy Master

Shame on him 🤨

Munchin isn't qualified for his job.

I mean he’s right she is lacking some experience. But her drive and enthusiasm on the topic plays a much bigger role. Those with experience can stand behind her with the facts.

the real problem is, when she blows over, so many people are going to stop believing. leave it to people who are there to do the work.

I mean, most of the administration including Trump isn’t qualified for their positions either... 🤷‍♂️

She’s not qualified to lecture anyone on anything.

Not qualified full stop, should have gone to school!

Then who

Mnuchin isn’t fit for his posting. He should remember that. Greta, on the other hand, as with anyone who respects the science, is perfectly qualified to repeat it.

She's unqualified, that's true, but studying economics isn't going to qualify her to be an expert on climate change either. Studying ecology seems more like it.

read the shirt

She has ambition and experience to speak about climate change. You don't need a degree to have a voice. I hope she does go on to study about the environment and pursue a related career. It would help in putting the doubters in their place.

Yea because she’s a child. Try scolding China and India.

She’s a representative of a younger generation who will be taking over the lease of the planet we’ve buggered up. I’d say that makes her qualified.

Greta should go to Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle East nations and gives lectures there. They are the one who extracts fossil fuels. The extraction activities there are the one that causes climate change and other natural disasters.

Greta is more qualified than most the nitwits in the US congress and senate.

Preach that to China and Indonesia, no 1 and 2 plastic pollution in the world

How can even USA(the world) be lectured by a so young girl,infant?This show the bankruptcy of the world leadership.

Is Steve?

She is more qualified than Mnuchin. He is a tool and a failure as a human being.

She’s not qualified for anything.

Greta would lecture them on child abuse if there would not be more cases...

stevenmnuchin1 isn’t qualified to wipe my arse. Next.

Says the filmmaker turned treasury secretary.

Ew, please don't hurt my eyes.

She has been placed by Soros and Al gore
