Re: Biology and Medicine
That's what newsletters and emails from the APS - American Physical Society - keep telling me. Which I find to be a bit odd, to say the least. Just deleted the most recent email letter from the APS President. Pity, as it was too dumb for words. However, here's a sample . These bloviated exercises i...

Re: China
My impression is there is wide spread discontent among the Chinese people against the CCP. Especially among western educated in the west and primarily doctors that came to the US to get their medical degrees. Hence all of the leaks coming out of the CCP that are negative to it. This is a wild exagg...

Re: Dangerously Divided America

Re: The shell game behind quantitative easing
There is no question the US is headed for a reckoning at some point, probably in the medium term (5-10 years out). Anecdotally (haven't checked the stats), inflation is picking up in food items, and certainly in housing, health care, and various technology goods (although these are due in large part...

Re: The shell game behind quantitative easing

The assumption is that the American people will do the rest by enacting legislation and crafting policies to create fair access to the nation's economic bounty. Unfortunately, the American people have lost their ability to...

Re: Mainstream and social media matters
Now that it is well known that the tech companies are biased, the govt should eliminate the platform exemption they have given the SM companies, and treat them the same as the racist restaurant owner. That's a rather poor analogy. A restaurant cannot refuse to serve you for being e.g., black or gay...

You are still unable to demonstrate how tech companies are limiting your right to free speech. You can say, publish, and communicate anything you'd like on your iPhone, your Android phone, your Windows machine, and your Mac.

Re: Internet Tracking | The Eye Of Sauron
US hospitals, profit or not, must serve anyone who walks in regardless of ability to pay. Using the Experian service might easily be a violation of law. This is highly misleading.

On second thought, you might be onto something, Doc. One unintended benefit of gutting Section 230 would be that it would stifle all conservative speech on the Internet.
