"Life long" was probably a lot more reasonable back when marriage was devised and most folks died by 40. And that's my gripe with their slogan. It should be "Life is LONG. Have an affair."
Were life so short, it wouldn't be so much of an issue.
Hey, give credit where it's due, friend. At least it's a single issue that truly reflects his interests, rather than some quasi-religious nonsense issue that has no direct impact on his daily life.
And how would these parents have proven that the drug was to blame? Who would've forced the company to provide samples or hand over data? Would a coalition of parents have pooled their money to employ scientists and rent lab time for the task?
I wouldn't care to guess how many millions more would have to suffer deformity to inspire that kind of collective action, but the scenario doesn't exactly make for a free market paradise.
It's probably also worth considering the energy that goes into getting your energy into the "tank". Oil has to be drilled, refined, shipped and pumped, which is no small feat. I imagine natural gas or renewables would be far less energy intensive, source to tank.
I don't see how that's any different than any other stem subject. It's not as though we have a bunch of highly credentialed chemists clamoring to teach 10th grade chem. You more likely have someone with a general edu/science degree, or if you're lucky, someone with a specific undergrad degree from a not-so-great university.
Anyone with better credentials/experience wouldn't be there.
Regardless, I suspect CS would still be of more value to the average person than chem.
You probably aren't seeing efficiency gains because American consumers are more interested in a widget that does twice as much than they are in a widget that runs twice as long.
What happened in 08 was the financial crisis. Recession=deficit spending. That's how our system works. The dems could've slashed spending in record amounts in their budget, and theyd still have posted an enormous deficit.
It also doesn't help that most of those "rational fears" stem from problems technologies that were conceived 40+ years ago.
I wouldn't let me kid drive a car from 40 years ago, but to translate that into "cars are bad" is bonkers.
What would happen? The poor would eventually be poor again, and go cut down the repopulated rainforest to compensate.
Money doesn't really solve a problem unless it's used to prevent a problem, and that's where knowledge becomes quite handy.
Americans have long been suspicious of candidates funny with peculiar names and origins. That such a man was elected at a time of national crisis and division was an unavoidable recipe for paranoid meltdown.
The performances in ep. 1-3 are astoundingly bad for everyone involved. Good actors (of which there were many) can typically make bad material fun at the very least, but we dont see that. its because lucas is amd always has been terrible at directing actors.

Kinda like most devs and the concept of HCI/UX ;-)

There's a difference between party business and official business? News to me...

"A generation or two"? I'm pretty sure we've been cranking out anti-science leaders for quite a few centuries more than that.

I hadn't heard that, but, wow...it makes so much sense.
