I regularly ask servers, checkout clerks, maintenance workers "would you be wearing that mask if you didn't have to." 0/50 have said "yes"
Our system is being hijacked to create a classed system, those that can afford to say no to masks, and those that can't.

GMOs are safe, we would not use them if we thought otherwise. Safe food is, and always has been, our number one priority. Global food and safety regulatory bodies including the FDA and the WHO have also verified their safety. For more facts please visit:

Telling people to "trust the science" is a faith based argument. Unless you can deeply address how something works so clearly that others can understand, you are asking them to believe in your gods rather than their gods. Even if you are right.

All of this student loan crisis began when Congress changed the law so you can't declare bankruptcy on student loans.
This made loaning the money a risk free endeavor so lenders gave as much as they could and universities had no reason to control costs.

My unpopular opinion is that all of the pattern tiling put on corn/soybean fields are an ecological catastrophe because they pull water out of the natural cycle. Nutrients lost, water tables changed and flooding in low lying areas.

People often accused Monsanto of trying to control the food supply when in reality the actual danger has always been - who controls the narrative about what is safe and the right way to live. Dr Oz corners that market with the lowest common denominator: fear of impurity
Today
@DrOz
will talk about glyphosate. He will tell viewers it is lurking in their food, the cause of their darkest fears. He isn’t building anything, he is preparing the way for his alternative food and supplements. Watch for the tweets and assuage the fear he promotes.

Sacrificing a national holiday as intrinsic to our social fabric as Thanksgiving has lasting consequences.
If this is what needs to be done, fine.

Cold chains are critical to the ability to live in places like Arizona and even Southern California. Western civilization undervalues refrigeration because we’ve never known a world without it.

Listening to less news would make you feel more in control of your own future.

Masks are a luxury belief. The people I see wearing masks are the working class; behind hot stoves, stacking things in stores, taking public transport.
Easy to hold an onerous belief if you wear a mask for the 2 minutes to get seated but not all day long every day.

In my childhood home town if someone got sick in your family or had a baby; members of the community would coordinate meals for 2 weeks or so.
It stitched together my family to our community. How do anywhere communities handle this now?

this is a loss for wider civilization. This was one of the first podcasts to find deep experts in all of biology and help them share the meaning of their work with other scientists and regular people like me. Who will pick up this water?
I'm sad to report that I have to suspend production of the Talking Biotech Podcast. I'm unsure what the future holds, but I hate what has happened and am angry with the people that accomplished what the anti-science community could not.

If the problem is packer concentration, then the answer is to lower regulatory burden for new entrants into the market. Careful about welcoming more government in to fix problems they created.
Couldn't be happier to see the White House going after price gouging and pandemic profiteering. The price increases we're experiencing aren't an act of God. In many cases the culprit is corporate concentration and a lack of consumer choice.

How this business strategy works:
Step 1: Frighten people about obscure chemical lurking in food
Step 2: Point fear at specific brands that are well within safe limits
Step 3: Sell brand a label that makes them "safe" again
Step 4: Celebrate labeling as hero's a win.
Repeat
