This is part of the idea. Increase price of gas due to "importing" => start drilling more in the USA in previously non approved areas (dismantled EPA).

What's missing is that price will not go down. "If you can sell it high, you'll sell it high".

The entire website for the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) is very nearly stripped bare. This is so, so devastating. orwh.od.nih.gov/research/fun...

yeah... or "competent people working for you" which is also insane to me as they .... "make you look better"?

they clearly have never worked in a thriving team where people support each other and make better total results together than alone. Or taken vacations and someone fills in for you?

I am genuinely curious how these MAGA people think that the world works and progress gets made. Through private funding only?

I mean, this whole "no government since we can do it better on our own" - at some point the penny must drop, right?

Thanks for the link.

I'm curious on the work places (insurance status) for the infected people. Treatment takes months and their lung status will be affected a lot (obvs) and also for future.

It's notable that the active cases aren't decreasing, yet the article states "no transmission"....

key thing for the GOP/Trumpist in power. As they don't believe in science, none of this matters to them.
It might, however, mean something to the voters with a person in clinical trials for treatment or needing new research to find hope for a cure...

I can only take the "it'll be interesting when they realize" as the first EOs are starting to take effect.
NIH study sections closed "for now".
Clinical trials will postpone and affect US citizens.

CDC will closely follow, with no mandate to support US citizens.
more people will unnecessarily die

I don't think these people understand a)how science works (in general, never mind how it affects a lot of stuff) b)how NIH funding works c)clinical trials for CHILDREN and OTHER USA citizens will be cancelled d)all other research that is important to the world/everyone gets affected

love it!

it doesn't have to be fancy - it has to show the point. I didn't realize how little people of today (under 30) have seen in regards to old school drawings and other things related to science education.

I'm sad to say but I missed the first one. Can you point me to it? I'd need it while I wait for the second one....

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I wasn't a fan of the character the first seasons. It grows though, both character arc and acting.

Overall though, I might have very rose tinted glasses as I loved that show.

The Episcopalian Bishop of Washington DC.

It's an excerpt from a longer segment where Rev Buddie speaks about seeing your neighbor without judgement.

First post here, took a walk in freezing temps in the sun to cleanse my spirit & mind.

It's draining to hear all the lies and the rewriting of history plus the constant disregard of science, hard work and being a regular person (and woman).....
