What, why was the black plague not developed in the genetic engineering labs by Genghis Khan.. Maybe because the labs did not exist? How you can compare the history of humanity to the last ten years, the time when we really have started suc

Hypothetical function gain research? You mean the literal proposal to put furin cleavage sites on coronavirus collected in the wild, filed for a grant in 2018, which was rejected for being too dangerous. Also, SARS-Cov-2 is the only beta co

I call bullshit on this. Our best shot at fighting modern slavery is electing politicians who support ending modern slavery and do not conduct free trade with such countries. Anything else is prioritizing neoliberal free trade over human ri

I certainly do not look forward to constant unloading/loading, adjusting seats and mirrors, and pairing bluetooth again every 3 hours.

Yeah, I am no trump supporter but found this whole affair hilarious. Federal reserve kept the interest rate near zero from 2008-2015, and only started raising them rapidly in 2016. To a neutral observer, it felt political that they didn&#x2

That's a big writeup and with a lot to address. No, it does not align with my sentiment. I don't think an Indian should be differently treated than say an Australian based on not just their skin color, or what the Indian and Austr

I'll disagree. No individual should ever be judged on the facets of life they don't control, like country of birth.

Different treatment based on something you can't control like your race is discrimination. And very few people like discrimination, specially against themselves

I've always felt that America always looks everything from the lens of race. Class problems specially are casted as a race problem. I personally think this is the leftover of 1960-70s, when class differences were a taboo because of the

I know. I am criticizing OP on suggesting that it is not hard to immigrate to the USA. As if it is even a worthwhile option to suggest that people leave their families and marry Americans.

What if one is already married? Or in a relationship with a non American?

Consideration means planning. If you caught a policeman planning to shoot an innocent African American, or if a neo-nazi was found to be planning to blow up a synagogue, would you not suggest taking legal action? If I planned to kill someon

Wow, that was a good read. Thanks for sharing

That makes so sense. When they say "it's safer than a human", that should definitely translate to a smaller insurance cost than a human driven car.

Not just that. It is "highway miles driven in a high safety rated premium car by a younger set of drivers on better roads in better weather"

A question for you, and all self-driving safety proponents. If Tesla's FSD cars are so safe, why are they not taking the liability of the cars. Why have only a regular car insurance punted on to the owners? When the manufacturers of se

I think they have a weird definition of creating money. Because they did say "The Federal government (through the Treasury) creates still more by issuing bonds to cover deficit spending.". So, they imagine the treasury printing th

Not everything is wealth. A lot of GDP is consumption which is depreciating assets that disappear. I would be happier if my future income isn't taxed to gift to the wealth of the currently rich. And this extra wealth of currently rich

And have borrowed immensely from the future generations for this. The bill will come due sometime, and some future generation would finally have to pay it up.

Not OP, but let me present my opinion. Interest rates have been on a downward trend for the past few decades. This is a new thing, that has not happened before. The Fed seem hell bent on making sure that there are no deflationary recessions

I think you could buy long term treasuries at the currently high interest rates. When interest rate goes down, your treasury value goes up.
