What standard should a country have to meet in order to exile someone from what that person considers their home? What is the legal definition of home for these purposes? What are the rules that countries and individuals ought to adhere to?

This kind of story makes me favor a blend of the policy proposals of Andrew Yang and Elizabeth Warren. We recognize that the current automated economy has hurt the little person (Yang), but, at the same time, recognize that a few super larg

I find it interesting that the basis of methotrexate's success as a chemotherapy apparently was its ability to reduce a cancer tumor's uptake of folic acid (a vitamin!). damn. vitamins can be dangerous.

The article itself mentions the non-radioactive component of the risk: Though people think mainly about uranium's radioactivity, the danger in water mainly comes from the toxic chemical effects of the metal.
