The biotech industry is already extremely nervous: https://www.axios.com/2024/11/15/rfk-jr-uncertainty-biotech-startups
They don't like this at all, with the hope being RFK just focuses on other stuff.
Or... it could make investor money fly away and collapse the US biotech industry. Great.
This is what I don't get.
Trump is like everyone's marvel superhero, he's whatever they imagine they want, the alternative to everyone else... Even very legitimate and thought out criticism can somehow conclude with supporting Trump when that makes no sense.
What on Earth is the NIH thinking right now?
I mean, what if an moon landing skeptic took over NASA? It's like that. They literally produce this mountain of evidence and organize this stuff, and... yeah.
Don't jinx it.
Especially not if they somehow coincidentally get some government funding.
100%.
I agree with the assertion though. These are the two biggest egos in America, and there's no way they get along for long.
They should keep Alex Jones and leave the broadcast completey unchanged.
Wala. A parody site.
The article itself muddies the waters even more:
Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.
All told, the decision to acquire InfoWars was an easy one for the Global Tetrahedron executive board.
Founded in 1999 on the heels of the Satanic “panic” and growing steadily ever since, InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses. With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal. They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon...
Its is a parody post, but also real, but also The Onion. It's a shining, throughbread Onion article, but also not.

You should submit this as a post. Or I might just repost it. It's insightful!
I really dig the explanation of how the two parties have kind of worked for so long, in spite of everything, and now that balance is disrupted since the "cranks" moved to one party.
Except Russia is not the military power Nazi Germany was.
Lets say he takes over Ukraine. Horrific... but that's not some huge economic windfall. If Russia tries to invade a NATO country in the next few decades, even with America totally out of the pictue, they'd get theit butts handed to them.
Only way it works is if China backs the heck out of Russia. Which is theoretically plausible if America is "defeated" I guess.
Vance is an opportunist, and dangerously smart and eloquent. That's actually a huge positive over Trump, I really hate we have such an actual gullible idiot in office.
Problem is I don't really understand what is actual political beliefs are. It feels like he's just a sycophant in interviews, given his history.
He's hitched himself to the MAGA train, but if, say, he was president with basically no opposition and Trump dead, what would he do?
I'd posit the algorithm has turned it into a monster.
Attention should be dictated more by chronological order and what others retweet, not what some black box thinks will keep you glued to the screen, and it felt like more of the former in the old days. This is a subtle, but also very significant change.
I'm sure the reasoning is "A deal is just around the corner!"
Mhm.
