  1. Comforting to know I'm not alone....555
  2. Donald Trump inherited a substantial amount of wealth and a well-established real estate business from his father, Fred Trump. Fred Trump was a successful real estate developer in New York City, particularly in the outer boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens. His real estate empire included a large portfolio of residential properties, mainly low- to middle-income housing. Here are some key aspects of what Donald Trump inherited: 1. **Wealth**: Estimates vary, but it's believed that Donald Trump inherited a significant sum, potentially hundreds of millions of dollars over time. Some reports, including a New York Times investigation, suggest that by the time of Fred Trump's death in 1999, Donald had already received the equivalent of at least $413 million (in today's dollars) through a variety of means, including gifts, loans, and other financial maneuvers. 2. **Real Estate Portfolio**: Donald Trump took over the family business, which included valuable real estate holdings. Although Fred Trump's business primarily focused on middle-class housing, Donald Trump expanded into luxury real estate and high-profile projects in Manhattan, such as Trump Tower. 3. **Business Foundation**: In addition to financial assets, Donald Trump inherited an established business infrastructure, including connections in real estate, finance, and politics. This foundation helped him launch and expand his ventures in the real estate industry. 4. **Business Strategy**: Fred Trump was known for his conservative and risk-averse business strategies, focusing on reliable income from housing developments. While Donald adopted a more flamboyant and high-risk approach, his father's foundational business practices and contacts provided a safety net.

  17. Yes, there are independent studies that have shown statins to be effective in reducing cardiovascular risk. While the pharmaceutical industry has funded many large trials, there are also numerous studies and meta-analyses conducted by academic institutions, government bodies, and independent researchers that support the efficacy of statins. Here are a few key points about independent research on statins: 1. **Meta-Analyses by Independent Researchers**: Some meta-analyses, which combine data from multiple studies, are conducted by independent researchers without direct pharmaceutical funding. For example, the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists' (CTT) Collaboration has performed several meta-analyses examining the effects of statins. While some data used in these analyses may come from industry-funded studies, the collaboration itself is known for its independence and rigorous methodology. 2. **Government and Public Health Studies**: Some government-funded research, such as studies supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the U.S. or the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, has evaluated the effectiveness and safety of statins. These studies often aim to assess public health outcomes rather than commercial interests. 3. **Observational Studies**: Independent observational studies have also shown the benefits of statins in real-world settings. For instance, large-scale cohort studies that follow populations over time have found that statin use is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events. 4. **International Guidelines**: Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have reviewed evidence from a wide range of sources, including independent studies, when forming their guidelines on the use of statins for cardiovascular risk reduction. While it's true that industry-funded studies are more prevalent in the literature, the independent research available tends to corroborate the general findings that statins can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly in individuals with high cholesterol or existing heart disease. However, the discussion on the risk-benefit balance and who should take statins continues, with independent research contributing valuable insights into these decisions.
