They don’t know how else to be, their greed demands it.

The rest of the world will be fine like when mao had the birds shot or when USSR relied on Lysenko instead of Vavilov. The US…people are going to have to get ok with shitty living real fast. Ironically, this giant reduction in the ability to consume will likely be great for the average carbon footprint.

Better question of who’s not?

Thatchers, Kissingers, Limbaugh, Reagan, Indira Ghandhi, Churchill, pol pot, etc.

For a real challenge try Kim Sung il, or Jong il.

There are laws about it for military stuff, they actually can just be legally nationalized if a CEO is being a traitor. I’m not sure about the timeline for that to be done but trying to do it at all would have been better than continuing with no consequences.

There are limited alternatives to starlink in war zones with infrastructure at risk like Ukraine, not to mention the government contracts that were signed to pay and use them mean switching isn’t the easiest.

1. Shipping probably already started.

2. B2B deals will have fine print about when units will arrive and be “released”.

That’s been true since slow-walking advanced equipment and allowing Musk to remain free and not nationalizing Starlink after he fucked parts of the counteroffensive.

Looking at a couple publications from the lab funding appears to be from a couple different foundations but nothing commercial. Pharma barely puts anything into basic R+D unless they’re a startup. Established pharma R+D is largely clinical trials and/or process development. If her work is patented by the university then pharma may pay the university to use her work. University would then give a smaller kickback to the lab/scientists.

NCI (national cancer institute-part of NIH) was the largest cancer research funder in the US, about 7B worth and even then less than 10% of proposed projects were being funded. The ACS (American cancer society) funds about 100M.

Bad blood won’t get solved by doing nothing either. People need a common goal. Fighting against billionaires is one billions of people can get behind regardless of other demographics. It doesn’t solve the bad blood and it doesn’t erase identities it simply reminds us we can be allies against the larger issue first.

It is a catch-22 to solve the bad blood you mention before going after the billionaires because the billionaires will continue causing more bad blood and more division in the meantime. As showcased by Trump, decades of building torn down in 3mo. Doesn’t matter that he decreased taxes for the rich or openly manipulates the market for himself and other rich bastards he’s convinced 1/3 of America that its all worth it to hurt sexual and/or racial minorities. By the time you fix one divide he’s created another 5.

This is a relatively gentle “find out” from them too. If they decide to actually be mean we are super boned and 2/3 of the country will deserve it either for voting for it or for not voting against it. It’s only fucking April and we have to make it to January for the next congressional session…

If we don’t take these nazis out by the roots they’ll have all 9 soon enough. The liberal justices aren’t that young and the conservatives keep on doing whatever they feel in the moment logic be damned. Sure they’re against this right now but they also gave him sweeping immunity. I don’t trust any of the conservatives to stand against the emperor they’ve created for any real length of time.

So many different things need to happen for the country to get somewhere half decent much less actually good. The modern Republicans and “moderate” democrats are symptomatic of much greater issues.

Not works with the government, is regulated by said part of the government. It’s a pretty common sense regulation because of the conflict of interest when you could be both overseeing a company and working for it. Same reason presidents before the orange turd have historically placed their assets in a blind trust.

That’s where the constitutional crisis comes in because they aren’t listening to court orders. The ones who’d enforce a court order are the ones defying it. “Who watches the watchers?”

In the 5y since the pandemic started no proof of a lab leak has turned up. The existence of these covid viruses was already known in the nearby bat population and even zoonosed to humans a few times.

This is entirely contrary to your false claims that scientists couldn’t find a link between animals and covid. So yes, it is the point. Lableak was a theory at the start one I even hypothesized myself. However, the data has consistently shown otherwise so unless new data gives the hypothesis any credence it is only political propaganda to give any credibility to the leak theory.

I don’t disagree that it exists but I’m against purposefully expanding it. “People already have colds why not spread the flu?”

We’ve already outsourced our creativity and now we’re outsourcing our relationships? It’s just so abhorrent to me.

For now. Just a few years ago humanoid robots were only a pipe dream/nightmare…

This was a very on the nose publication 4 years before the covid-19 outbreak started. Further the viral genome doesn’t show any sign of genetic modification which leaves various genomic signatures. Stop pushing conspiracy theories unless you have actual proof.

Republican “scientists” pushing this theory are as trustworthy as oil and gas “scientists” denying manmade climate change.

At least dildos and fleshlights don’t pretend to be anything more than a toy. No one is that emotionally invested in their sex toys. They serve a physical purpose and that’s kinda it.

When you get into real-dolls and using this type of AI. There are mental health issues that are not helped and probably worsened by the existence of these things. Human connections to non-“real” things is weird af. It’s a one-sided relationship until the AI is capable of breaking up and leaving not just getting powered down and restarted.
