Oh by a mile. And the most talented.

Inflammation of the gums is a symptom and cause of other issues. How somebody treats their mouth is indicative of how they treat the rest of their body.

And, if you read the new article from the tweeter, they only in year two of their testing, when it typically takes about a decade or longer to successfully test a new drug.

This won't be blowing up because research, especially on the university level, is rarely simplified down to a statement like this. Unless they had previously been researching and testing this drug, my best guess is that there is strong evidence suggesting that it will ignore healthy cells, not that it WILL.

I think you're missing the point a little bit, guest. Costs and inflation in this country have so vastly outstripped wages that this generation and the next will make less real dollars than their parents and grandparents. We have become so used to the idea of low pay that we now start defending the owners and billionaires as mythical "job creators" with benevolent goals instead of as people looking to make more money by any means necessary.

I think you touched on a VERY important part of national non-profits: the people on the ground care deeply about the mission, but the higher ups are more concerned with the image and viability of the brand. Most give pennies on the dollar to the actual operations while most of the money goes to marketing. Always go local if you're donating money.

The US helped back the overthrow of the popular and democratically elected president of Chile because he was a communist. They overlooked the bombing of Orlando Letellier in DC because the perpetrator was an agent of Pinochet. There are plenty of Latin American skeletons in the US closet.

We contained absolutely shit. The communists overstretched themselves in Eastern Europe, Korea was a staging war for Vietnam AND the last colonial war, and Vietnam was a debacle. I think a massive misunderstanding here is the idea that communism is synonymous with the USSR, which is simply not true.

I'm not disagreeing with you on the basis that the Americans had something to do with it, but there was no way the Soviet Union could have succeeded. They weren't that strong militarily or economically, they just hid their faults behind a veneer of perfection. The Americans outlasted the Soviets, nothing more.

The Cold War ended because the Soviet Union was bankrupt from years of mismanagement. Nixon didn't do it, Reagan didn't do it, they did it to themselves.

I always knew you were a north African warlord.
