People use the vast majority of their lives medical expenditure in their last year or so of life if they make it to old age. Someone dying in their 50s before they hit the ground coats very little. Saying that I hope everyone lives long hea

Highly doubt that. I’d imagine people that don’t wear belts are much riskier drivers and have accidents with higher fatality rates. Hold everything constant and bodies flying into each other aren’t needle movers.

If you don’t want to wear a seatbelt you’re a complete and utter moron. Why are trying to preserve these people? Scrape them off the road before they can pass on DNA.

What about people that make healthy choices and live long enough to bear cancer a few times, shake off a few other diseases, have hips replaced, collect endless Medicare and SS payments, etc? The person who blows their heart out at 53 proba

We had a recession and then they redefined it. We also still have a great chance of entering a recession later this year.

My intuition tells me that the theory here will be more interesting than the current application, LK99. If it pans out then thousands of brilliant minds will iterate on the theory to expand it and to refine applications of it.

Nah you’re blinded by the stats again. Americans are wildly different than everywhere else and far more diverse. Americans distrust of and hostility towards authority is unparalleled. The number of kids with no vaccines has quadrupled since

Scandinavia uses timber frequently. People use what they have and a lot of Europe doesn't have ample timber supplies. North America does so it's used and it's a fine material with a lot of upsides. Modern timber framed homes

There's a difference though. Old homes in the USA are often made from timber and don't have fire retardants like insulation, drywall (instead they have plaster and lath which is more flammable than drywall), etc. Plus the wood is

The activists make a living on it though. There are massive funds allocated for these programs that don't solve the problems but rather manage them. In fact, a larger customer base will only increase their funding.
