O-rings are known to fail.

Ev are only part of a solution. The energy must come from somewhere and it’s not going to be wind/solar unless something miraculous happens in renewable energy. Europe like Califor…

HMO so yes, costs are a factor. But it was a small cost relative to repeated doctor visits, hospital costs, etc… MRI for massive HMO are not $5000 due to economies of scale. The dr…

I don’t see how we can transition off of fossil fuels without them becoming prohibitively expensive. Unaffordable gas is exactly what our politicians have chosen when declaring all…

Could having doctors refuse to run diagnostics also lead to anxiety? It has for me personally but I may not be the typical patient. Some people want zero information about medical …

I was not suggesting the opposite, by any means. But I am not sure I agree with your statement either. I won’t even get into hunter Biden’s Ukrainian business dealings and I agree …

Why would they be motivated to do that? If I were Ukraine, I would do all I could to exacerbate global food shortages. If I were the United States, I might consider how massive aid…

I think he is interesting. The details of his father’s financial transactions feels a little bit obsessive but yeah, obviously if you are the sort to spend time studying Ted Bundy,…

Surprised that people know so much about Musk and claim they don’t like him. I can see nerding out on your hero or whatever, but to be motivated to research his personal upbringing…

“they created this and/or are the main drivers” The media has an incentive to produce emotion inducing content and politician will naturally leverage those emotions because America…
