Kids With Pneumonia Get Too Many Antibiotics And Chest X-Rays
Health care has become political and that means everyone wants everything for little money, at least when it comes to their own treatment or those in their family. The other edge of the political sword is lawyers waiting to sue, which has led to high malpractice costs and even higher costs due to "defensive medicine" - running unnecessary tests and engaging in procedures doctors know aren't valuable in order to check off boxes if a lawsuit happens. read more
Psychologists Set Out To Conquer Anti-Science Beliefs About GMOs. Here's What Happened
Though every world science body sees no reason to be concerned about genetic engineering - hundreds of millions of humans and billions of animals have been just fine with a gene in one plant that is simply found naturally in another plant, well funded activist campaigns about "Frankenfoods" have largely succeeded. Organic food has ballooned in revenue because it claims no GMOs all while not mentioning their own less precise genetic engineering - mutagenesis, bathing organisms in chemicals and radiation to get a desired effect. read more

A Split In The California Democratic Party Over The Green New Deal
There has been a lot of talk how Biden is the only viable candidate-- meaning Frackenlooper and Delaney are not viable, just Fox News trolls at this point-- who has not taken a position on the Green New Deal.

*Romina Boccia* *Economics, * With the gross national debt in excess of $22 trillion—nearly 105% of gross domestic product—and mandatory spending like interest on previous debt, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid consuming 72% of current tax revenue, it’s easy to think that America’s fiscal woes have reached their worst point. But that’s not true. Our debt problems are about to get much worse. Car accidents are relatively common occurrences. Train wrecks are a little more out of the ordinary, to be sure.

The U.S. Navy's New Secret Weapon: Heavily-Armed Missile Corvettes?
*David Axe* *Security, * Could it happen? The U.S. Navy should acquire small, heavily-armed missile corvettes and deploy them like modern versions of World War II torpedo boats. And the service also should buy carrier ships to transport and support the short-range corvettes in combat zones. That’s the advice of U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel Colin Smith, *writing* in *Proceedings*, the professional journal of the U.S. Naval Institute. “The U.S. Navy has long identified threats in the littorals and the need to fight within these close waters, but it still struggles with c... more »
