Genetic defects are unusually high among the Amish. This would tend to defeat the spread of a single genetic advantage from inside the Amish community out to the world in general. Splicing's the way to go.
There have been animal studies in which multiple copies of certain genes correlate with longer life.
Looked at another way, giant turtles live much longer than mayflies. The difference is genetic.
Genes that contribute to improved refolding of proteins, genes that cause a better immune system, and all sorts of other possibilities are waiting to be discovered.
There's no profit to you, a person so shallow you only think of other people in terms of how they benefit you. There's plenty of benefit to the person living longer.
There is nothing to stop a foreigner from working for an American company, and that's as is should be. It is the government's responsibility to protect America, both by protecting it from attack and by protecting the American culture (by which I mean people with philosophies such as "All non-Muslims must die" should be rejected, and that large numbers of people unfamiliar with what freedom requires cannot be rapidly assimilated.)
Non-Americans no not have the right to be in America, and they certainly don't have the right to work here. It's not America's responsibility to provide a living for anyone who chooses to come here, and a successful attempt to remove all restrictions from entry into the country will destroy the country.
The wikipedia article covers Agenda 21 generally and its opposition briefly, without including any text from the U.N. document. Wikipedia cites this massive mess https://www.un.org/esa/agenda21/natlinfo/countr/usa/natur.htm which is full of bureaucratese and obfuscation, but hints as to the intention to have government control over people. The devil is in the details, and the details would be in a myriad of state and local laws written to fall within Agenda 21 guidelines. This, of course, would be too detailed and diffuse to unravel.
The image projected by different types of smoking methods if very different.
Cigar: stinky, offensive, brusque
Pipe: thoughtful but stodgy
Hookah: drugged
Cigarette with holder: effeminate, shallow
Cigarette without holder, in hand: trying to make a stylish impression
Cigarette without holder, in mouth: lout, fool.
Her experience has been disastrous. Hillarycare rejected by her own party. The Russian "Reset" embarrassment and its accompanying mistranslation. Faking illness immediately after Benghazi so as to not have to answer questions until she got her lies organized. Obvious and well-reported influence peddling. Sale of uranium rights to Russia. These 5 items just scratch the surface of a lifetime of evil.
The poor have the most to lose from climate change.
Anywhere that there's lots of cold weather, like New England and the north central states, the second-highest expense (after rent) is heat. If the climate warms, the poor benefit disproportionately.
All government action requires people to enact and enforce that action. Taxes pay for the incomes of those people. If subsidies end, at least three good things happen: those people are no longer messing with the economy and other people's lives, they're no longer being paid with taxpayer money, and they have to get real jobs doing something productive. All three things make goods overall less expensive, even if foods become more expensive.
Potatoes are native to South America, where they grow with an amazing profusion of varieties. Perhaps a half dozen varieties were taken to Ireland, where eventually only one or two became prominent. This is just a historical fact, and has no particular political significance nor is it related to big business and central planning. Ireland has a climate and soil that makes it particularly good for potatoes in comparison to other crops, so Ireland became dependent upon potatoes. The near monoculture of potatoes left Ireland vulnerable to a potato blight, and in 1845 it struck, and continued to devastate crops through 1849. Starvation and disease resulted; many of the people who could leave did. 170 years later, Ireland's population has still not rebounded to the 1845 level.
There's more to the ethanol gasoline story. First California, then other states, mandated that oxygen-releasing substances be added to gasoline so that old cars tuned too rich wouldn't emit hydrocarbon pollution. The chemical of choice was MTBE, which has a reasonable cost, doesn't damage car parts, and has a nice bonus property of raising the octane rating. Alas, gasoline spills resulted in MTBE getting into the water supply, and it's toxic. States started making MTBE illegal, and the next best choice was ethanol, which has well known disadvantages. Now that ethanol is well established, the farm lobby is doing what it can to keep it that way.
The US has troops everywhere it has an embassy; that's what most countries do. Better to tell how many countries the US has a significant number of active duty troops in.
The word "consent" often comes with an important adjective: "informed". When not present, that adjective is usually implied. Dishonest sellers will frequently not note things like "removed from old equipment", "chipped", "B stock", "used", "open box", etc..
The practice of ordering 8 things with the intention of returning 7 at no cost to yourself without prior agreement is dishonest.
Binding women's feet was a result of a perverted sense of beauty: women should have small feet. It's similar to the (Burmese?) practice of stretching women's necks with a set of neck rings, because pretty women were supposed to have long necks.

My life is of benefit to myself. I'm not going to be a sucker for your foul plan to make me feel guilty for living.

Those scientists got their degrees from Clown College.
Religion is based on the rejection of reason. At best, anything good that comes from religion alone is blind chance.

Even that understates the problem. Sugar tariffs have driven the change to fructose and HFCS, with accompanying damage to general health.
So much better if innuendo, incorrect information, and bias comes from paid professionals.
Nicotine is fatally poisonous in small quantities, but it is not necessarily carcinogenic.
The nasty goo generally called "tars" in cigarette smoke contains chemicals generally considered carcinogenic
Just the high temperatures of the inhaled gasses from cigarettes may cause throat cancer.

It's nice that some contributors can be depended upon for regular idiotic posts.
