The epipen delivery system and the Epinephrine inside of it should be sold at cost. Both were developed by the US Military (taxpayers) and American taxpayers should own it.

I believe the patent extension to keep it from going generic was predicated on the 12 hour, slow release, dosage.

Each missle sub has two crews that man it in a 3 month rotation. When the sub returns there is a quick refit and resupply, everything that broke and couldn't be fixed at sea is repaired and it goes back out. The turn-around is very qui

My only complaint is that I would prefer they figure out some way to simulate firearm recoil. As a hobby / target shooter it always takes away from the action when I see guns rock steady every shot. If guns were like that everyone woul

It's possible to irradiate food at such high levels so as to degrade the nutritional value but it will never become radioactive itself. Over 60 countries use low level radiation to sterilize food.

Because a whole lot of cops go crazy when they feel disrespected and running away is the ultimate disrespect of their authority.

I don't believe he will be removed but I also don't believe he will run again. He just doesn't seem to like the job and it's obvious the government doesn't run the way he imagined it did.

Tackling in American football is almost gone from the game. The object now seems to be to smash into the ball carrier as hard as humanly possible and hope he falls down. You rarely see a receiver or quarterback tackled, you see the defender

We are going to have to find a way to tax robots as if they were humans doing the work. Social security can't survive in America unless we do some pre-planning. Robot displaces 10 people? Robot pays the payroll tax times 10, or somethi

I believe this pure split you refer to is the fault of the gun control advocates. In the mind of the 2nd amendment folks every compromise they have made has led to that being the new normal to build the next compromise, thus sliding down th

If somebody is so much of a non threat to society he can be housed in a voluntary prison camp he shouldn't be in prison at all. Establish a real community service program, not one that you can pay your way out of, and sentence them to

This is the reason, at the federal level, diesel fuel is taxed more than gasoline. Diesel = 24.4c/gal and Gas = 18.4c/gal. The difference isn't enough to compensate for the increased wear but there is a difference.

I think it much more likely they will be moving to packaging the web like they package cable television. This way they can charge both ends of the transaction, the company providing the service and the customer of that service.

Americans distrust national ID. Several administrations have floated the idea and have quickly learned that fact. We do have a de facto national ID in drivers licenses. If we had a medicare for all health system we would than have a nationa

Commercial reactors are enriched to about 3% plus or minus a bit. Military (naval) reactors are very highly enriched to minimize the size needed. The cost and availability of the uranium has never been the problem. The Carter administration

Do you really think if a citizen uses a concealed firearm in a movie theater to stop an attack the theater company would attempt to sue them or something? It is not illegal to carry a firearm inside a business that has a no gun policy. The
