hmm... not sure what you are talking about, but you are an anonymous person, with no history... retorting to bullying and name calling... not sure how you are contributing to the conversation.

Yep, it feels very disingenuous.... It is like someone complaining that google map uses x, amount of energy, yet the old alternative (printing maps, and getting lost) was much worse CO2 wise.

They did: 1. They are not mentioning that one reason is that a team had transfered regions/states, and that might be the main cause of attrition on that team, and not the actual treatment. 2. In a previous article, NYT failed to mentio
