AIPAC bought the KY-04 seat by pumping so much money into shows demented boomers watch that they completely upset the usual primary voters in the state by getting truckload of demented people to show up from a 30 second sound blurb played over and over that Massie was selling out Kentucky to the democrats. This despite the fact the votes from last term's primary voters basically did not change at all.
It's actually mind blowing how effective AIPAC is. They managed to upset one of the most popular Republicans in the US house by a genius campaign at non-voting demented boomers by tricking them to believe probably the most conservative guy in the entire congress is secretly a Democrat.
A lot of the products they killed were promising, it's just that Google just has no stomach for investing in anything for the long haul if it's not going to either capture the entire market or prevent someone else from capturing the entire market.
You know what? Good. If there is something good in it they can have it. Probably not a whole lot in my case, but still, if this enables people to have better lives, let them go at it!
It's not good. They can sell it to insurance companies as well. Who might decide not to provide you with health insurance based on your genetic profile.
Yes, I agree that is not good. But that is a thing the people need to fight politically for to not be allowed. My main gripe is that OP's post sounded like screw the people who's lives that would improve because I wouldn't get paid for it.
We stopped using evolution for adaptation the moment we started using tools. Our brain size was the last "gift" from evolution. We have been on our own since then.
Yes. The 10 wealthiest men in the world in 1919 didn't have CT scans, ultrasound, dialysis, pacemakers, knee replacements, CPAP machines, asthma inhalers, air conditioning, or computers.
Perhaps the jawbone receding is just a way to make us less attractive, so we are less likely to procreate. Perhaps natural selection just wants us to die once we are out of teeth, and to remove our genes from the pool. It really doesn't care about individuals.
(I am aware that natural selection doesn't "want" or "care" about anything. It is just a convenient way to say it).
