Essentially, what you're promoting is the medical version of vaporware. Does that Gates Foundation have a vaccine that's ready to go? Wellcome and the Gates Foundation to Fund Late-Stage Development of a Tuberculosis M72 Vaccine Candidate That Could Be the First in 100 Years If Proven Effective https://www.gatesfoundation.org/ideas/media-center/press-releases/2023/06/funding-commitment-m72-tb-vaccine-candidatepp Maybe you have some news that Wellcome and the Gates Foundation haven't shared with the rest of us yet? In fact, there currently isn't an approved vaccine effective enough to do the job. So until that happens, what's your plan?

That's the kind of talk that helped revive the Liberals' moribund prospects for the next Canadian election. They should send you and your like thank-you messages.

What most impressed me about your comment was the evidence you didn't offer to back it up.

By retracting foreign aid, President Trump could make tuberculosis untreatable again. https://archive.ph/4z7yx PEPFAR was a program launched by the Bush administration. It has been extraordinarily successful in suppressing the spread of HIV and tuberculosis. Trump/Musk has dismantled PEPFAR.

I wouldn't get too encouraged. This is the same Supreme Court that ruled the President is immune from criminal prosecution for any acts he performs using the powers of the Presidency. They're pretty far out there.

Sure. As Patong noted, are other countries going to want a fighter jet that the US can turn into a brick anytime it wants to? And given who the current US President is, what was formerly an unthinkable option, is now a not unlikely one. Why would any sane country trust their defense to a nation that no longer behaves like an ally? So, most likely in the future, man former allies will no longer be looking to the US defense industry for all their military needs. And it won't be just about aircraft.

Carney Reviews Canada’s Order of F-35 Jets Amid Rift With US The C$19 billion ($13.2 billion) deal for 88 F-35s to replace Canada’s aging warplane fleet was finalized in 2023, with Lockheed beating out Saab AB and Boeing Co. in the contest. It’s divided into tranches and Canada has made a legal commitment of funds for the first 16 jets. The deal hasn’t been canceled, but Canada needs to “make sure that the contract in its current form is in the best interests of Canadians and the Canadian Armed Forces,” the spokesman added. https://archive.ph/6AgNU#selection-1897.0-1923.190 So, 88 fighter jets minus 16 fighter jets= 72 fighter jets that most likely won't get bought. "hahahahahahahah"

When all someone can engage in is name calliing, you know that they've got nothing. You've got nothing.

Corruption?

Elon Musk’s electric-car maker Tesla has warned that President Donald Trump’s trade war could make it a target for retaliatory tariffs against the US and increase the cost of making vehicles in America. In an unsigned letter addressed to US trade representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla said that it “supports” fair trade but warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”... “It is unsigned because nobody at the company wants to be fired for sending it.” https://archive.ph/RXBoW#selection-2407.18-2407.98 The troops at Tesla are clearly feeling desperate. It looks like the Federal govt isn't the only place that Musk will cut employment at.

Again. Both a firecracker and and a stick of dynamite are explosives. Does that mean there is no significant difference between them? As a certain political philosopher once remarked "Quantity has a quality all its own."

Is there some adult out there who has the time to explain to Yellowtail what is a person and what isn't I haven't the time to engage in remedial education.

So hiring your biggest individual donor, one who does a lot of business with the Federal government, doesn't raise ethical questions? Is it your position that as long as something is legal, it's ethical?

From one person?

It's what I call Pavlovian thinking. Just a reflexive, intellectually barren response. One step above snarling.

The Russell 2000 includes smaller companies that are more sensitive to the whims of the economy. These companies tend to run thinner profit margins that can be more easily eroded in a downturn, and they have fewer levers to pull than big companies if they do get into trouble. After surging to a new high in November on optimism about the new Trump administration’s pro-business policies, the Russell 2000 has tumbled more than 18 percent, roughly double the decline of the S&P 500 since it hit a peak last month. https://archive.ph/HrKmm

In arithmetic we all know that a negative times a negative yields a positive number. Maybe you're modeling your comment on that. Maybe you believe that one irrelevant comment compounded by another will somehow make them relevant?

Deflecting much? You should introduce that as a separate topic. That's not what this thread is about.

The fact that you make the issue about the person posting rather than about the contents of what they post is a perfect example of deflection. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

Today, the IRS fails to collect about $700 billion in taxes owed each year. We know that going after tax evaders has huge returns: Recent academic work suggests that every dollar spent on auditing people in the top 10 percent of earners returns $12. Prior estimates from the Treasury Department’s inspector general suggest that each additional hour spent auditing a high earner generates nearly $5,000 in additional tax revenue. https://archive.ph/mVoDB#selection-559.0-559.64

He doesn't even have to look anything up. I've provided the link., Apparently, his index fingers are the victims of some exotic form of paralysis.

So it was 999 parts a lie and one part truth. I guess something that's 1/1000th true is enoogh for some. If you promised a salary of $5000 per week and got paid $5 would that mean your employer wasn't a liar?

Another ridiculous conclusion from you. I gave you a link. Tell me that again after you read the article it links to. If you know how to use a link.
