@k1nghenryIV @mehdirhasan @grok What was the primary motive for the formation of Chinatowns?

[Vic @TraderVic408]

Calm down folks...

Xiang admitted to CBP officials that he received E. coli plasmid DNA from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in that package, despite previously telling CBP it only contained various articles of clothing. The shipment was recorded by customs as a package containing mostly women’s clothing.

Plasmid DNA is a small, circular, nonliving DNA molecule found in most bacteria, including E. coli. It does not have the infectious properties of E. coli, nor is it used to produce the sickness-inducing bacteria, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute. Instead, plasmid DNA is generally used by researchers to replicate genes en masse and study them.

Xiang said during the trial he intended to use the plasmids to further his research into genetically modifying wheat crops to be more resilient against E. coli and other harmful bacteria. He said he ordered a specific kind of plasmid because he was more familiar with it from his research in China.

On Nov. 25, he was charged with smuggling, conspiracy to commit smuggling and knowingly falsifying documents and statements to law enforcement, all felonies.

Several friends, family members and colleagues wrote letters to the court in defense of Xiang’s actions and character. One letter came from professor Armin Moczek, chair of IU’s biology program.

“I would like to emphasize that the use of plasmid DNA — the type of DNA Dr. Xiang is accused of having smuggled into the country — is standard practice for molecular biologists,” he wrote. “So standard in fact that we teach it to freshman undergrads and high school interns.”

@Literariium The ability to delay gratification appears to be largely genetically determined.

@nypost “Dennis has always been the sweetest dog; he’d never been aggressive before”

Doesn't that sound familiar?

If you can't tell if a grenade is a dud or not, you're probably better not having it near you.

@thehealthb0t They kind'a look like fragments of a feather.

@Mr_Fireside I'm guessing it's because they can get paid to act that way now. In fact, it's a career.

I don't know how much this will help. It seems like the savings are too great for companies to simply hire in the US. I would imagine they would offshore and hire employees in foreign countries (so not technically outsourcing the work.)

@Defeatdictators @BasedMikeLee Keep the FED out of decision making and let the free market decide rates. Politicians put our country 37 trillion in debt because the FED enabled politicians.

@MelMattison1 Perhaps it is about wanting to stay in power to implement an agenda and nothing do with MMT

@markmark20541 @Jeffreytief @LynAldenContact Correct me if I'm wrong here but aren't soda drinks the most common item purchased with foods stamps (at stores like Walmart, etc..)?

I like Luka but quit with the comparisons to MJ with the libations, smoking, and longevity of their respective NBA careers. You can't compare Luka to Jordan. Jordan can pull off gambling late into the night, smoking, drinks, etc... He is just built different...

"Drafted in the NBA by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, Jordan played all 82 games in his very first season. It was the first of nine whole seasons where Jordan would play all 82 games. However, the following season, MJ sustained a broken foot injury and sat out for almost the entirety of 1985-1986. It is almost incredible that, excluding that season, Michael Jordan missed ONLY 7 games in the 12 seasons he played with the Bulls!"

What Jamie Dimon is really saying is that here can't simply fire low performers. He must have them in the office so they can be monitored. The problem is low performers will be low performers whether working from home or in the office regardless of being monitored.
The return to work mandate only harms high performers who work long hours and now must also add in commute times and prep time before work starts. High performers may work at home after returning from a long commute. It leaves less time for family, etc.. Definitely makes high performers question why they are working so hard..
