    Liberals push for a bill to make July Somali heritage month

    AI? Really? AI summarizes what can be found online, nothing else.

    Why or why people always make wrong conclusions? GOVERNMENT does not have a monetary interest in this research because the government's goal is not profit maximization. No one has a monetary interest in this research, but because the government is the only agent whose goal is not profit...

    Cost vs return. Too costly with too little profit possibility. Also, free-riding problem for litigation firms (once the problem is found, no lawyer has a monopoly on such cases). For pharma: they will lose more in fines and court costs if some dangerous side effects are found. For universities...

    None of the entities mentioned above would do that unless there is a profit in it (do not see any) or government money allocated to it (are there any?)

    So, how does what you said contradict what I said? The COVID vaccine was rushed (or, if you prefer, fast-tracked), and, while it did go through clinical trials, they were not as extensive and complex as for a regular vaccine. Was it justified? Did "vaccines reduced severe illness...

    Or Franky, you again miss the point and show you conplete incompetence and narrow vision. Please let me know if your TV set is still black and white or you finally got yourself a color TV

    Just to repeat myself: there are a lot of drugs that are useful or perceived as useful at the time they were used. They all undergo thorough testing and their effects are monitored even after they are approved. COVID vaccine was made in a hurry, and it was not tested as rigorously as other...

    You are not a scientist then. There is nothing "clearly" about anecdotal evidence. This is why all drugs are tested and monitored for side effects, regardless of how "clear" their benefits are.

    It applies to everyone, but in case of COVID the concern is real, as any vaccine has side effects and, since COVID vaccine was developed in a hurry, it is worse to study any negative side effect (including the long run) that it may have. The fact that 195 countries cannot fit into a "12-month in...

    True, but if an MP introduces such a bill, it raises the question of why a decent political party supported his election campaign?

    Any Toyota owners here?

    6000km a year for 10 years? Get any new car that you like - they are all fine for that. If you need 15000km/year for 15 years, then get a Toyota, but in your case, KIA will do just fine. Just avoid electric or hybrid cars (more chances for something to go wrong in 10 years), and you will be fine.

    A Former Client’s Perspective: Seven Years in Toronto’s Sexual Services Industry, Long Read

    Of course, especially from the point of view of people who believe that high school math is hard and lack the ability to look at details. I forgot, what is the PC word for such people? (sarcasm emoji here for people who need to see the emoji to understand the meaning). In case someone with hurt...

    A Former Client’s Perspective: Seven Years in Toronto’s Sexual Services Industry, Long Read

    Let me do a little math here. 10 days a month ("every third day"), at $250 minimum ("full service") is $2,500 a month. You are a lucky immigrant from a third-world country. Or just a stupid one who spends all he earns and will rely on social welfare in the future. Or the entire post is a fantasy...

    U.S. middle class suburbanites selling blood plasma to get by...

    The main problem is not that, the main problem is that the dumbness epidemic is real. Otherwise, why do people always need an appropriate emoji to understand the written word? For the infected: here is the one: :D.
