For the cost to develop the polio vaccine, March of Dimes could have bought enough iron lungs to save 12,000 lives. Of course, they had no idea what the actual number would be beforehand; all they knew is that they were…
I just learned earlier this week that he produced “In The Dark of the Night” from Anastasia!
Without condoning this, I think it’s important to be very clear about what this is: it’s an automation improvement to a decades-old existing system. Most retail stores already keep (and share!) photos of suspected…
My grandparents lived north of Salt Lake City, close enough that I’ve been there at least half a dozen times over several decades. Last time I did,I drove across a bridge with no water under it to an island that was…
You’re dodging their question.
I apologize if I’m missing the point you’re making, but trench foot and vaccines are completely unrelated. Vaccines fundamentally impact viruses. Trench foot is not caused by a virus, or any infection. It’s more akin to…
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You’re going to need to justify both of those claims. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/feder...
It reflects incredibly poorly on management, bordering on incompetence. If those 10% of employees were needed, then management obviously shouldn’t fire them just to make the stock price go up. If they weren’t actually…
That’s also true of companies that AOC wants to raise taxes on. She’s not forcing anyone to pay those taxes. Companies that don’t want to pay those taxes are free to relocate away from America, abandon selling to the US…

Negative. “…the data does not by themselves establish the physical origin of the light that generated the images…”
1) because there aren’t enough teachers in-state + coming out of the lower 48 to meet demand. 2) Pay alone can’t make people happy, which is why there’s a very high alcoholism/suicide rate among oil workers, despite it…
At a general level, it is a simple fact that there are more qualified/happy candidates globally than there are just in the United States. For the second part, no, I assume that money/opportunity are WHY they’re happy to…
My sister was a schoolteacher in Alaska. They pay a premium, but it’s still not a life that most Americans are cut out for, including me. That means the schools have to choose between giving these kids subpar teachers…
Since Bari Weiss took over CBS News, there’s been a number of controversies involving corporate interference to nix or promote politically-charged stories. Most recently, at 60 minutes, a lot of senior journalists were…

They aren’t. The US built monitoring infrastructure there because it’s our project, and that’s where the science needs to happen. It’s the same reason that many more countries than just Argentina built the Pierre Auger…

What do you mean by that?
The good news is that people have looked into it! And not just in a modern-slop-journalism kind of way, but in a serious, rigorous kind of way. And many of the resulting scientific papers are published online and…
You’re right, I was mistaken. My bad.
In American English, “race and religion” is an old-timey expression that’s typically used as a broad identifier in a melting-pot context, eg. “We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions…” ~FDR
The idea behind YEC is that God created a world which is visibly, quantifiably, and measurably 6000 years old. According to this, scientists, in their hubris, failed to see what was right in front of them, and were led…
