Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Bwahahahahaha! Never mind that there was an Israeli study done decades ago that found a higher incidence of Autism in children fathered by men over 40..
It was noticed by the IDF as it is mandatorily required that every young Israeli does a tour of duty in the military except for those with disabilities.. and at looking at the young Israelis that fell on the spectrum that were unable to serve, guess what was found? Older fathers. Enough so that it stuck out.
This fits with the incidence of autism in the well-heeled solidly middle class families where dad waited until he was set and financially sound in his 40's and married the fertile 20-something wife and all of the sudden, it's that demographic that first started noticing their kids had problems.
The Israeli medical and research industries are rife with scams. They "cure cancer" about three times a year. You can't reasonably believe anything any of their "studies" say. They publish them purely for self interest.
White collar crime is an epidemic in Israel. About 5% of Israels gdp is money laundering, for instance. Thats VERY high. They arent just shitty and criminal to non-zios, they lie and steal amongst themselves as well.
Even then, did they eliminate income at conception?
Parents who wait til later to have kids are going to be more financial sound and thus can handle raising an autistic child with a way lower mortality rate.
Gotta account for income gaps too.
