These are very region dependant. My state has no income or sales tax, but the property taxes are higher, my 1 acre with a mobile home is basically 3k. It's almost certainly cheaper than renting, but you can't just make sweeping statements like that.

As the other comment pointed out, horses used to be found in the America's, but had since gone extinct before Europeans reintroduced them.

My nose runs pretty much all fall/winter, it started about a week ago. No sore throat yet, that's nice, but I just found out a friend I just hung out with a few days ago tested positive for covid, so we'll see how long that lasts...

According to another comment, the sea bass version will only be for sale online. There will be no coming back to stores, normal goldfish won't be leaving stores at all.

Yeah, the dome in the cartoon doesn't seem egregious at all to me. It's that chiiiin.

The last thing the US wants is a civil war and mass instability in a nuclear nation. That has the capability to shatter MAD. At best, the US wants a regime change.

Well, like I said, there is still a chance of collateral damage, which is why there has been so much study to try and make sure that isn't going to happen. We've been sitting on the ability to do this for a long time. As for chances of killing other species, I don't think that is a risk from the method. They basically just breed mosquitoes of the targeted breed, and modify their genes so they can only have male offspring which can also only produce male offspring, etc.

The biggest reason it may be different this time is previously we were all like, "let's exterminate dogs," and it turns out dogs are important. This time is more like "let's exterminate pitbulls." There will still be plenty of mosquitos around if the plan is ever put into motion, we are only targeting a very small slice of them. That doesn't mean there won't be issues, it could well be just as big a mistake as all the previous times. But at least it is more likely to work out.
