I'm surprised they think an American company can afford the bad PR in Canada right now.

I know what the hospitals are doing, and I also know insurance companies are using the same bullshit in reverse to make it harder for hospitals, and patients, make claims. The reality is that private health insurance shouldn't be a thing, and procedures should have standards that are overseen by qualified doctors without financial stakes. But neither is true, so we end up with the most expensive and mediocre health care system on the planet.

It doesn't have to be more rare than Earth metals, supply just has to be more limited than demand. Given the rising use cases, and the global population, it's only a question of time until economic viability. Especially in cases, like now, where supply is constrained by political tensions. It becomes a national security issue to not have a sovereign supply. Lunar mining is cheaper than a resource war.

The Moon is a staging area and supply of resources. Lunar launch costs are almost negligible to Earth, so large scale mining of rare earths, deuterium, and other metals is viable. And the low gravity means building/launching giant ships capable of reaching the outer solar system is possible.

The research and knowledge gained from a lunar base would almost certainly far exceed the cost of building it as well. Science and practices in medical and botanical fields that would be directly applicable here on Earth, but are not possible or would not be studied without the existence of a lunar base.

If you're looking at future opportunity, figure out how to make a cheap and effective heat shield out of lunar regolith in a vacuum. The major cost of returning materials to Earth is the return vehicle. Having to send parts from Earth very quickly makes everything unprofitable.

Al Green is reacting the way a normal human would to criminal activity. So naturally, he has no real influence in the House.

Insurance companies are mad the hospital AI is getting around their AI to deny coverage.

US News, regurgitated from India? Who the hell has Trump all the way up at 37%?

It kinda is, there's a heavy Israeli presence in the state.

Biggest issue is getting all the palms greased. Red tape disappears when money gets funnels to donors. They'll straight up eminent domain peoples houses if the right billionaire is getting their cut.

In Florida, it only gets done if it funnels money to established GoP donors. On the off chance something gets funded that they can't steal from, it gets shut down ASAP.

We always said brains instead of milk. I'm still kicking myself for not getting video of our toddler wandering out of his room all sleepy and asking for brains.

Never go into the comment section on news sites. It's the fastest way to lose faith in humanity.
