Inflation isn't causing this. Inflation is devaluing of the currency. What's causing this is increased acquisition costs due to public policy. 6K seems reasonable for a family's annual energy bill. Frankly, it seems on the

Homeschooling takes 2-3 hours per day, not 8, and it doesn't have to be 5 days per week. Once the kids are around 10 or so, they can do a lot on their own as far as reading material. For socializing, there's karate class, or othe

There's lots of useless replies in here so far, and some half-baked ones. First, determine whether you have an intellectual property assignment for this idea. This could be determined by local laws, a contract you signed, and the man

Those stats were from early 2021, and they show the efficacy wasn't similar for Pfizer and Moderna. There's no current recommended 'best' as I stated, because there's no basis for saying which is best at this point

A large portion of it was outright fraud by the mortgage brokers and the rating agencies. The agencies slapped everything as 'investment grade' so the worthless securities could get bankrolled by everyone's retirement plans.

When the vaccines were first being developed, the oft parroted narrative at the time was that by targeting the spike protein, the virus will have to mutate and lose it's ability to infect new cells. It was a totally unproven theory, an

There has always been catastropic weather. The climate has always been changing. The current tag line is 'climate change is accelerating due to human released CO2.' I believe human released CO2 is more or less inconsequential.

If we're never going to colonize it, then it's a net-negative to resources from Earth, and therefore that money is wasted. It seems extremely unlikely that we'll make some discovery that makes this all worth it.
