  1. The science will stand on it's own merits. I understand that that is difficult for people that have become very accustomed to adopted uncritically politicized medical evidence and research to grasp.
  2. Again, the study will stand on its merits and the level of transparency they practice. If it is all performative and a biased study design, it will be quite obvious, there will be knowledgeable people lined up around the internet to critique every t and i, and the results should be treated as rubbish. This is all independent of your ledge and the political framing. I understand that you are struggling with this distinction.
  3. Same board that was convinced that rfk was cancelling flu strain selection for 2025 season and laughed when I told yall that they would push the study timelines.
  4. Don't use quotes to reflect the things you hear that are made up in your own mind. Here is what was said:
  5. Again, you are just begging the question and vocalizing your own pre-determined outcomes. RFK is not gonna be running the study. He ain'st gonna be writing the protocol or the SAS code.

  6. Today was a good day homies. Have a nice weekend.
  7. Intersection of politics with medical research is not a new thing. We have NIH funded researchers that have been suppressing the results of their research cause they were afraid of the political implications for some time now. I am not particularly worried about pre-determined outcomes, but agree that a lot of people seem to have already arrived at a pre-determined position wrt what this study will show or how it will be conducted. IMO, the study will be subject to extreme scrutiny and the methods, data sources, and analyses will either stand on their merits or they will fail. What iwas stupid was to put out a rush job timeline that was obviously going to have to get walked back. If I was on the team, I would publish all the study documentation including protocol and statistical analysis plan as soon as it is available. Put out the methods and let peer reviewers critique it prior to execution of the analyses. Adopt any well reasonable course corrections, than run the analyses. We're talking minimum like 18-24 months to execute, but you would be much better positioned to weather any criticism.
  8. America's Pastime depending on cheap Chinese aluminum bats is just a bit too on the nose.
  9. Futures banging. Assume the jobs report read out was good.
  10. Flying off and leaving the neocon NSA standing on the tarmac is a good day for America.
  11. It's like found money!
  12. Per the link, the Mennonites in Gaines County are apparently Old Colony Mennonites, not Mennonite Church USA Mennonites. Perhaps a more accurate formulation is "Seems like some mennonites may have problems with some of that".
  13. Fair. Stupid rhetoric like I said.
  14. Maybe @Kyrie Eleison can provide some additional insight. I think he is in that orbit.
  15. No one gave that impression. And I doubt that the mennonites or others so inclines think that there is some expiration date on the ethical issues as they see them.
  16. Not sure why you are cross referencing threads aggy, but my post in that thread below. "Aborted fetus debris" is stupid rhetoric from RFK. But the reality is that many vaccines are grown in cell lines that originated from aborted fetuses. Seems like the Mennonites have problems with some of that. Reality is that a lot of pharmaceuticals and other products rely on fetal cell lines that cross certain ethical lines for some.

  18. Political brain damage is getting in the way of some of yall making money in this short term. All bets off on the medium run. Can't help you there. Long term will probably be fine, but appropriately hedge in case it is not.
  19. I think the classic car market is in for a tough secular future. Boomers shedding their trailer/garage queens. Spend any time at a car show these days. Most of the owners are within a stones throw of the reaper. The market will do what it does. I might need more garage. Last time I pitched my wife on another one we were driving down 620 and the heater core decided to fail all over her side of the floor board. So we all have problem.
  20. FEels like we have been in a meme market since at least 2020 and even prior. Biggest hit, if it comes, will be 3Q imo. But I am just throwing darts and dice. SP Futures currently up ~1% to ~5640.
  21. RFK pushed the timeline out 6 months during the cabinet meeting today. It's still an extremely optimistic, very aggressive timeline.
  22. Per BEA, decrease in government spending and increased imports.
  23. ERCOT had something to do with this, until proven otherwise.
