Scary thought: Two labs in the world have samples of the smallpox virus for research purposes. One of them is the CDC.

“The evil that men do lives long after them, the good is oft interred with the bones”. Can anybody think of anything good that Trump has ever done?

Chief Justice Roberts, my friends are bitterly divided about you. Half of them, I hate to say, say you're a partisan hack who churned out rulings that will benefit the GOP but destroy the lives of so many regular Americans. The other half, however, just thinks you're a sociopath. Who's right?

Understandable given the current political climate in the United States. I hope nobody tells Trump, he’ll think it’s a great idea.

T’was ever thus. The introduction of personal computers in the workplace had a similar impact. Productivity increased, but so did expectations. Predictions of a shorter work week always fall afoul of this phenomenon.

In my opinion Tesla is the Blackberry of the EV industry. Early to market with a great product that helped define the market, but failing to innovate in the face of fierce competition. Final nail is poor, distracted leadership.

Putin used that workaround. After his first two terms he stepped down as per their constitution and installed a puppet for one term. Then he came back after the puppet’s term was up. Then I think he amended the Russian constitution to make himself president for life.

Yet they somehow manage to convince many non-wealthy Canadians to vote against their own economic interests. They do this by also appealing to people’s baser instincts, most notably fear of the “ other”.
