Fair enough, but you and I both know that people legitimately believe shit like that and it’s pretty believable that a schizophrenic person would make something like this.
Senator Dianne Feinstein's career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.
All you have to do is look up an interview with him in the early 2000s. He was still a self absorbed asshole, but at least he could form complete sentences.
Yeah, the information in the article is basically meaningless. It doesn’t matter how much the government gave Moderna if there’s no mention of the total development costs (which I have been unable to find the actual numbers for).
The article also confirms that the claim is wrong, but they take a super roundabout way of getting there. The claim was that $2.5b was the total cost of development, the truth is that the $2.5b was for both development and to purchase vaccines
Pretty much every drug developed in the US has some amount of government spending behind it, but that certainly doesn’t mean that the government pays for all of it or that the pharma companies don’t deserve to make a profit on their products.
Men who’ve spent time in the 60-year-old downtown Los Angeles lockup say inmates are given cold food every day of the week — so sometimes they start blazes to heat it or cook their own.

I like to put lemon or vitamins (those tablets that also create fizzyness) in my water and have been wondering if it is problematic to do so in my aluminium drinking bottle. I wouldn’t normally think so, since soft drinks also often come in aluminium cans, but I’m not sure. Are aluminium salts even unhealthy?

We really don’t have any agency. The federal government is set up so we’re stuck with elected officials until their time is up with no democratic way of removing them from office.
The main problem is that the people who have the highest voter turnout are retirees whose brains are fucked from years of lead poisoning, and these same old fucks are also running the country.
I mean, hell, just look at the 2016 election. The person with the most votes lost. That’s proof that the will of the people isn’t being honored even at the highest levels of government.
Alright, what are you basing your claims on? You’re clearly not from the US, and I’d bet money you’ve never visited or even spoken at length in person to an American citizen.
You’re trying to sound deep and full of worldly knowledge, but I just want you to know it’s extremely apparent that you’re a child who has no real world experience.
It only took like 4 movies to turn into the standard ‘gore for the sake of gore’ horror cliché. The original premise was good, but they didn’t know when to stop.
There are dozens of SBCs out there now that are as good, if not better than pis and are actually available. I’ve never heard of or had to install proprietary drivers on any of them.
