As all who read Tolley’s Topics know, my ON MY SOAPBOX articles are not usually on the serious side. This one may appear to be…but read on, my friend.
I watch Carl Higby on Newsmax. Last week he closed his show with a quick comment about the earth sinking. After he signed off I decided to Google that subject. The following information in black text came straight from The God Of Google. The other text is my logical and/or illogical insertions.

The Earth isn’t literally sinking like the entire planet is floating on something and is falling down. However, land subsidence, or the gradual sinking of the Earth’s surface, is a real phenomenon occurring in many parts of the world, including cities and coastal areas. This sinking is often caused by factors like groundwater extraction, mining, and the weight of urban infrastructure.
I am personally not concerned AT ALL about the earth sinking. It appears to me that The God Of Google is much smarter than the Democrat Representative from Georgia. Henry Calvin Johnson, Jr. has held his position as Representative for TEN TERMS. Listen to this short video, watch as Admiral Robert Willard manages to keep a straight face as he answers Hank Johnson’s ignorant concern. Nope…the sinking of the earth has never crossed my mind. I am more concerned about the Stupidity of DeKalb county radiating across Georgia.
What is Land Subsidence?
Land subsidence is the sinking or settling of the Earth’s surface. It can occur over small areas or large regions. It’s a slow process, but it can have significant impacts on infrastructure and the environment.
I believe subsidence is indeed, a very slow process. In fact, I believe it actually began when God “Made It Rain” to cut a path for Noah and his Ark. I would like to Thank God and Subsidence at this very moment for our Beautiful Grand Canyon, Stone Mountain and other remarkable, naturally created landmarks.
What causes Land Subsidence?
Groundwater Extraction: Pumping large amounts of groundwater for agriculture, industry, and cities can lead to the compaction of subsurface materials, causing the ground to sink.
Mining: Underground mining operations can also cause subsidence, especially in areas with unstable ground.
Weight of Urban Infrastructure: The weight of buildings and other structures in cities can put pressure on the ground, leading to sinking.
The world has lost its respect for MODERATION and PATIENCE. They have been traded for GREED and SPEED. Everyone wants more. We want MORE of everything. Every country wants the tallest building, the fastest mass transit, the most power, etc. The answer is always MORE. The Democrats wanted more votes and they wanted them IN A HURRY. So they instructed Senile Joe Biden to throw open the border and put out the Welcome Mat for the whole world, as long as they were not white people. Cut down more trees, build more cheap housing, give more free medical care, more free food and more free education. After all it is not their money, it belongs to the taxpayers.
What are the impacts of Land Subsidence?
Infrastructure Damage: Sinking ground can damage roads, buildings, and other infrastructure.
Flooding: Subsidence can exacerbate the effects of rising sea levels and increase the risk of flooding.
Environmental Damage: Subsidence can alter drainage patterns, affect groundwater resources, and damage ecosystems.
What are some examples of Sinking Cities?
San Joaquin Valley, California: This region has experienced significant subsidence due to groundwater extraction for agriculture.
New York City:* While not sinking as a whole, some areas of New York City are experiencing subsidence, partly due to the weight of buildings.
Venice, Italy: Venice is famous for its sinking due to a combination of factors, including subsidence, rising sea levels, and the impact of tourism.
*In My Opinion:
I am not worried and have never been worried about climate change or subsidence. If fact, I did not know what subsidence was until I watched Carl Higby last week. Climate change cannot be too big of a problem if the young Twerp, Greta Thunberg and democrats can fix it with a tax increase.
As far as SUBSIDENCE goes….I only know of one monstrosity in New York City that, upon falling, could cause a really Extended Traffic Jam.
To be honest…In this case, I would vote for
Robust Subsidence & Strong Gravity!
