@GialloTheory @emmma_camp_ @WSJFreeEx True, but this is due to market demands. Feel free to start a company making gorgeous refrigerators that will last a lifetime. If there is sufficient market demand for it and you manage your company well, your company will be a success. If not, it’ll fail. That’s capitalism.

@emmma_camp_ @WSJFreeEx Capitalism is the reason why people who don't like capitalism have the free time to complain about capitalism.

UPDATE on my investigation of Lindsay Graham's murder by Candace Owens:

Prior to his murder, Graham visited Ukraine where, according to a dream I had, he was given evidence that Candace Owens is a man. I will be publishing text messages I invented in which Owens confesses to being born male.

@FTrement @sfliberty Enumerate the significant differences

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

The Democratic party that you and I both loved no longer exists

It is being co-opted by Marxists who call themselves Socialists because it sounds better

But also by Islamists who are hostile to liberalism

We are electing people who openly hate America

We have insecure elections, open borders, an extremely complex network of NGOs that launders money (oftentimes state funds) to feed this machine

Many in politics and the media are either unaware of what's happening or too cowardly to stand up

A full generation of "educated" kids who were indoctrinated to believe that all of this is good

Etc etc

@DrKERMD @midjourney They mentioned tank and lowering the patient so it seems that the patient is lowered into a liquid medium (presumably water) which would preclude laying down in it to go through horizontally

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

What if the west isn't the villain they told you it was?

We’ve spent years accepting accusations about racism, intolerance, and slavery without challenging the bigger historical reality:

The societies most condemned today are also the ones that led the world in ending slavery, expanding rights, and building the most tolerant nations on earth.

That’s the conversation nobody wants to have.

@mhupupu @cj_dahnz @aimeeterese This is true. I went graduated from Evergreen in 2009. It was pretty great in the early 2000s. Probably better the farther back you go

[Matthew Abendroth, DO @drabendroth]

@cj_dahnz @aimeeterese I graduated from Evergreen in 2006. It used to be a chill hippie school. But this transformation was beginning then. I remember the “day of absence / day of presence” days back the. I ignored it and went about my studies. It wasn’t a big deal if you ignored it back then

@MOSSADil It is not clear to me why the Gulf states do not join the military coalition at this point and let the combined USA, Israeli, UAE, and Saudi forces utterly destroy the IRGC from the air and drop millions of small arms packages across Iran for the people to pick up

@scottisaacsmd @CDCdotgov Why not just use LC/MS? It’s not very expensive

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.
