Here’s a template:

I’d put it a lot earlier than that. Nominees for the Best Alternative Album include Radiohead, Iggy Pop and David Bowie.

We should all be pleased he’s set a precedent that we have to pay companies (that make millions, even billions in this case) a ransom to keep a handful of their jobs here in the US. Okay. How is this not corporate welfare? What happened to the crushing tariffs that would FORCE companies to stay that he promised…

How’d he save those jobs exactly? Did he rescue them from the well Lassie style?

And her sister, Sarah Michelle. She deserved a prince, not a Prinze.

You should see her brother, Ross. What a milquetoast loser.

It just goes to show how emotionally fragile he is. The FACT that he will lose the popular vote by more than 2 million votes really gets beneath his skin, because he wants to pretend that the entire country adores him. All he is doing is telegraphing his weakness. I think we should all take every opportunity to…

That’s just not true. First, the economics aren’t there; most front-line HIV drugs are old and off-patent. Pharma companies won’t even do HIV research anymore, it’s a solved problem. It’s government entities (including our own) that would absolutely love a vaccine, and are willing to fund the research.

The real problem…

Counterpoint: the HPV vaccine, iirc the first vaccine shown to prevent a disease known to cause cancer, was developed in the US.

well HIV medications are free at the health department, and now many if not all are generic, so I don’t think the drug companies are making a significant amount of money off of the medications.

The HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN, cited in the article) is a multi-country collaborative effort that includes US researchers and has had several earlier vaccine candidates, including a couple that made it to human trials. There are certainly huge amounts of money pumped into HIV research, but the reason we don’t…

Honestly, I can’t jump on the conspiracy bandwagon - as tempting as it is to agree, and add that in addition the people most likely to have HIV are black and poor, I honestly don’t think the entire Western world’s medical scientists are that disinterested in solving HIV or cancer.

Yes, I’ve heard this “medical researchers are evil” argument before, and I was just as unmoved then.

Or this medicine business be some hard shit?

McDonald’s is Eugenics? Public school are eugenics? Words do not have a meaning anymore, I’d like fish in my coffee, hat!

Tom Hanks is our dad and Tim Kaine is our stepdad (but the good kind of stepdad that buys you gifts to win your love). Joe Biden is our crazy uncle who takes us on inappropriate road trips.

I thought Tim Kaine was our dad. Do we have two dads? Are our dads gay, or is this a Three Men and a Baby situation? I just need to understand my family.
