@PropofolMe@RepThomasMassie Yeah Congress should be full of mindless sheep only voting how the lobby tells them to. They are not there to represent their constituents or uphold the constitution. And they definitely shouldn't read the bills. They might accidentally get a conscience.
@ForgottenC1776@RepThomasMassie@DocLanceP I support Congress being mindless sheep only voting how they got told to vote by the lobbies. Who care if Constitutional rights are stripped from the people. The last thing we need are people like Massie actually (gasp) reading the bill. How dare he!!!
@FredSalivia@HormuzLetter After Iran decimate oil production of neighbouring countries in the gulf, sending world into a crippling financial depression worse than 1929 and confirming the US to led by brainless clowns you mean?
Things modern medicine has been certain about, in chronological order, since 1900:
- That cigarettes were healthy.
- That margarine was healthy.
- That asbestos was inert.
- That lead in petrol was inert.
- That thalidomide was safe in pregnancy.
- That radium was a tonic.
- That DDT was safe to spray on children.
- That lobotomies cured depression.
- That morphine was non-addictive.
- That OxyContin was non-addictive.
- That mercury in dental fillings was inert.
- That cholesterol caused heart disease.
- That saturated fat caused heart disease.
- That eggs caused heart disease.
- That red meat caused cancer.
- That seed oils were heart-healthy.
Modern medicine has, in each case, eventually been forced to reverse the previous certainty.
It has not, in any of the above cases, apologised.
The certainty was, in each case, supported by the published consensus of the time.
The consensus of the time was, in each case, wrong.
The certainty currently in force, on the same model, is, on a longer view, statistically very unlikely to be entirely right.
The doctor reading the next reversal, in 2045, will be the one prescribing the current consensus today.
He will not call you.
He will not write to apologise.
He will, in most cases, have retired by the time the reversal is published.
The reversal will be in the journals.
The damage will be in the patients.
The patients, by then, will be your children.
Begin reading the journals yourself.
@sushantkumar67@WhaleInsider I'd guess weaker USD and more international trade in Yuan. Not good for world inflation if the world's manufacturer gets more expensive.
@porschewarrior@PeterSchiff Maybe the idiots in charge could raise taxes and cut spending. Oh sorry I must have dozed off for a moment into dreams of financial responsibility.
@alpha_chess@FinanceLancelot I agree this administration is as dumb as a bag of rocks but this scenario makes a certain amount of sense out of some contradictory events.
