For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

Universal health care, fully paid for by progressive taxation, the optimal approach for disease prevention, has been in effect in several European countries for decades.

The core of US identity is, by design and from inception, to be a plutocracy disguised as democracy. Once this reality is recognized, one may begin to understand the current (past 50 years) drift and how to possibly correct course.

Inequality is an important consideration. So please use median (for example), rather than mean values.

You are describing the essence of the United States. What we are seeing now is, simply, the inevitable consequence of that foundation.

Our excessive reliance on the internet (i. e. on what is already known) is making us infinitely dumb and non-creative.

The real underlying question is: why is the United States of America (the only nameless country within the continent known as America) so systematically prone to create and promote this unacceptable and destructive inequality, one of the worst in the world?

I meant "Symphony". "Sympony" was a typo with the unintended appearance of disruption (disruption is, more often than not, unintended).

I got a headache from reading about disruptiveness scores. But then, I found myself scoring the disruptiveness of Hyeronimus van Acken's "The Garden of Earthly Delights", as compared to Ludwig van Beethoven's "Sympony No. 5 in C minor" and Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species".
