You cannot blame "politicians" though even though they appear to be the ones in control of the budget. They only do what the population tells them to. The masses are far more willing to tolerate inefficient expensive bloated progr

When we developed antibiotics we thought we solved the problem. Now we are looking at more and more strains of bacteria resistant to all we got. We have to keep going, turns out we are not done developing antibiotics, forever. So, as I see

Of course, that's an obvious conclusion - OPs point though was about CO2, which is unlikely to be what guides those vicious beasts to ones feet.

You assume waaayyyy too much stability for a body of air. The air around you is moving constantly. Every bit of movement and every tiny heat source causes movement. The problem is people don't see "air", but there are ways to

That reasoning never quite made sense to me because if that was a or the major reason, why do I have the signs of unwanted mosquito encounters mostly on or my feet and ankles? If that theory indeed is true I think CO2 is just a rough guide

Poor people die earlier. More importantly though their quality of life sucks, especially in a country with tens of millions without health insurance. They may have rotten teeth and loads of stress, but hey, they are not dead yet so what&#x2

Full circle. I point to my previous comments. You keep repeating your weird claims as if that makes them seem any less weird. The title is well-chosen. If you had a horrible education that is besides the point, it has nothing to do with t

I would not like to discuss the first question in a public forum. I was below 40 when it was discovered - the total amount was unknown (how much is stored), but fortunately (not common for low-dose chronic exposure) I had significantly elev

You should read the article and take a course in biology. Coursera and even more so edX.org offer excellent free courses. To you last sentence: The fact that you exist. Viruses contributed significantly. If you had read the article(!) you

Unless you have an (irrational exclusive) association of "virus = bad/fear/disease" to begin with the headline is perfectly fine. It's just your interpretation made by adding your own context. You should try to sepa

You create a strawman. Nobody denies what you claim. The issue is not at all the existence of "great people" (for anything). The problem is how do you find them . You have a thousand people in front of you. Now please make a pred
