All Hail Planetary King Bill Gates!
Submitted by wendy davis on Thu, 02/04/2021 - 12:12pmWhen it comes to preventing pandemics, scientific tools alone aren’t enough. We also need new capabilities, including a global alert system and infectious disease first responders (or what I like to call a pandemic fire squad): https://t.co/53Rf5uvjub pic.twitter.com/rTmM7STl6U

Guilt by Association
Submitted by Cant Stop the M... on Tue, 02/02/2021 - 6:10amMy grandfather grew up poor, and got poorer during the Depression. He and my grandmother went hungry on more than one occasion, and I've wondered, over the years, whether malnutrition was one reason that their first child, my uncle, was born mentally handicapped. It's not good to go hungry while you're pregnant. My grandfather, Bob, got his first real break in the forties working as a salesman for Colgate (he had been rejected from military service because of his flat feet).

Digresion: She was, in her time, a team leader leading teams who did audits of the largest US and US headquartered multinational corporations.
