Americans innovate in ways that extend beyond software and their questionable patents.

If you catch it early, cold water + baking soda seems to work well.

Hmm, maybe. Vanguard's doesn't. At your target retirement date, it's 48% stocks, which actually seems pretty damn aggressive. Fidelity's product has similar composition.
