TIL we developed vaccines for deadly diseases. Who knew?

To the children’s petting zoo?

I’m pretty convinced that Florida and DeSantis are holding off on implementing a state income tax for the election. Their coffers are taking a hit from tourism. The whole state is artificially cheaper to run because of it and they are losing billions. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-tourism-numbers-decline-again-auguat-2026/ doesn’t spell it out as well as it could, but they’ve lost over a quarter million travlers and $50B

https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/34ac4070-d9e8-4160-a0ee-57cde9d65870/jec-report-on-tourism.pdf paints a pretty grim picture for the US Overall, but with Florida shedding 2.2% of jobs on the heels of the COVID tourism impact, the state is on thin ice tax-wise.

And here’s this politician saying “we will be fine”…

• US Population yesterday was just under 349M

• 21.07% of the population is under 18

• Leaving just over 270.5M eligible adults in the US.

• Even shaving off a generous 500,000 people as illegal, that makes it $1.35T this would cost.

so you are pretty damn close @[email protected]

Still waiting on those tarriff refunds! And lower egg costs. And lower gas costs. But I’m sure it’s being worked on and likely held up by those dirty dems!

Apple maps low key sucks. For a trillion dollar company, you’d think they could do better.

How is appealing for scientific transparency in research (i.e lack of disclosure of industry funding) turning into a crusade against drugs? This is the Science Community afterall. Not saying you’re not wrong, but it’s directionally a “whataboutism” instead of addressing the topic at hand.

And if you’re going to get into whataboutism, there are and have been massive campaigns against alcohol usage, and I can think of at least a few incidents of scientists publishing without disclosure of industry funding. “1 glass of wine a day is great for your health!” kind of shenanigans.

Anyway, you’re not wrong if your argument is that there are bigger fish to fry, but that doesn’t really address OPs thread in the slightest. :)

He’s done more damage to the people in the US and perhaps on this planet than that one dude who invented both ethyl lead gasoline additive and Chlorofluorocarbons. And what’s most impressive is he did the vast majority of it in the last 10 years of his life.

What a wholesome comment

It’s because he did a good thing, which basically made him not a cop anymore…

That shit better be sandboxed and air gapped.

That’s a reaaaly odd way of saing “Isreal admits it’s soldiers killed Hind Rajab in a car”

We should just pin this thread.

“almost” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here…

I mean - they’ll be using their own burner phones to call in active bomb threats for the buildings they are posted to when a lot of brown people come in. Bit of the old tail wagging the dog…

“doubt”

Theor goal is to make sure retail 401ks don’t get the last seat.

Fuck AI, go look at this project! https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77/

Probably just forgot about the bleach injection first…
