Me too. Biotech for 35 yrs - if RFK is confirmed we may be facing some big changes in drug development and safety, not to mention public health

Thank goodness that other countries are studying this and taking action to resist it. The US will be in the Dark Ages for a while, but the torch will stay lit and we can adopt best practices when the MAGA fever finally breaks. We’re gonna have to go through some things but it will, eventually.

…a handful of ultra rich white men with the emotional maturity and resentment of a teenage boy who can’t get a date…

The most ignorant Americans elected Trump and he’s predictably choosing the stupidest and most corrupt cabinet members. I cannot fathom how low we will sink in decency, competence, integrity and reputation. It’s a fucking tragedy.

Subscribed. Corporate media is compromised by their profit model. Those of us who want information untainted by fear of the administration MUST support independent journalism. Join me.

The issue isn’t whether Universal Healthcare can work. The issue is how do we get from where we are to UH. It took Canada decades and it has a ton of limits we might not like. The point being we have to find a starting point that can grow it into what works here www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

Exhibit 5,793,632 for why I don’t want to live in a world represented by Fox News. It’s all zero sum. You can’t have a choir, or celebrate freedom, or help the homeless at the same time you fight fires. These are small amounts in a HUGE budget. Just deplorable culture war BS. Garbage.

Kirk: Left wing Dems living in LA deserve to have their homes destroyed because they voted for Biden and Harris. But boy - anyone that thinks Republican governance is more competent is insane. TX can’t keep the lights on. People are sicker, poorer, hungrier and more ignorant.

Maybe Trump isn’t a genius engineer or businessman

I am overwhelmed by disappointment and a feeling of desperate urgency. Instead of running toward this existential problem and applying our best minds to solve it - the stupidest, most cynical and greedy people are in charge and are doing the opposite. Our descendants will curse us.

Is this what his supporters voted for?
