Prices are driven on the margins - that is the last transaction

I wasn't questioning right or wrong of socialized medicine, just calling out what ultimately happens and the viewpoint of those who truly control/manage the system

It's hard to say how much of what Gates says/does is truly what he believes or is a branding exercise for legacy purposes. The robot taxation seems like populist appealing nonsense…

Would take much longer for condensation to evaporate at room temperature

Raised chickens for some time. Noticed my eggs would "sweat" when I'd take them out of the refrigerator vs store bought which do nothing at all; after a time at room temperature th…
