The CyberTruck is 17 times more likely to have a fire fatality than a Ford Pinto was. The Ford Pinto caused a national scandal because the manufacturer disregarded the known flaw, despite deaths it caused. Today, a worse scandal about the CyberTruck can barely get off the ground. Perhaps that is because we are accustomed to businesses treating their customers with contempt, and

This is not a rational response to the problem. I was treated a couple of times by doctors that had immigrated from Albania - I am sure their income was adequate not to need welfare.

[2/2] acts can do to others. Sometimes he just doesn't care. It makes sense that he inclines towards promoting prejudice, hatred and cruelty: because they insulate a person from values and loyalty other than taking away from others. The hardest challenge for those who wish to restore the former (partial and insufficient) role of principle, loyalty and justice will be how to defeat that empire without sinking to the corrupter's level and thus replacing one corrupter with another.

If the wrecker wants to destroy that university, he could do it this way, but that changes little since he could destroy it in other ways. But if what he wants is to have it continue to exist in a subservient way, this could prevent it.

The announcement about "resurrected dire wolves" was more hype than reality. They made genetically modified wolves with around 20 pieces of their DNA copied from fossil dire wolves. At least, that is what they say they have done. There is no report of independent verification of what they have actually done.

Howsoever an effort to prevent such terrorism might operate, its success would work against him. He has already told the FBI to stop focusing on right-wing terrorism. Ending the research too is the sort of long-term completeness that his cunning Project 2025 advisors would think of.

Robert Reich asserts that the saboteur-in-chief is aiming to establish personal control over all parts of the US government that can employ force. He is doing this by *putting into power people who are more loyal to him than they are to the United States.* Once this has gone far enough, he will be able to threaten all opposition leaders with imprisonment or death -- by asking those bent

The wrecker's press secretary claims that he has already sent prisoners to Guantanamo, unauthorized immigrants who were in the US. The wrecker, or someone working for him, has a cunning awareness of the US's sores, and picks at them to exacerbate the soreness. This spreads the feeling that the US will be so

Roman mining activities put a substantial amount of lead into the air, which shows up in Arctic ice cores. This could have reduced the average IQ by up to 3 points.

So the effect could have reached there too.
