GREAT NEWS!

 At Least One of Trump's Catastrophic Attacks on Science Reversed

OK, I admit it, I was becoming disconsolate (beyond consolation, a sucko state of mind) about the damage our current Prez and his gang are doing to science in America. Thousands of research projects abandoned and totally destroyed, thousands of our greatest scientific minds being discarded like used tissues, hundreds of universities being whiplashed into confusion, hundreds of thousands of the world's brightest students being barred from studying (and becoming entrepreneurs) in America.... on and on. 

Then one piece of news amped me up to a new level of teeth grinding (no, not the one about spending another $billion to shut down three more wind farms...gag!).  The "money saving" trumpery plan to wipe out our extraordinary ocean observatories, and letting them rust away in storage (that was the plan... barf!).  Then... Then... THEN...

EVERYTHING IS SUDDENLY REVERSED!!

Every piece of gear that's been removed will be serviced and put back in place. No more will be yanked. THE SYSTEM IS SAVED! June 18, 2026, one victory for mankind done.

Better be careful, we might discover more about climate change.

It happened because hundreds of top scientists and business people screamed bloody hell. 

THE LESSON?  We should all scream bloody hell louder and more often about the looting of American leadership!

OK, This Could Be Huge

 I Mean Super Huge! All of us oldies have that nagging hunch we are heading for Alzheimer'sville. It's one of the slowest ways to die -- and it tortures your family, drains your savings and is in general giant pain in the ass  brain. SUDDENLY there is another ray of hope!  And it's from a very credible source, nature , the prestigious Brit science journal. New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium supplement reverses memory loss in mice OK, mice. But this is just one piece of the evidence -- the latest and a very important piece of research -- but there are numerous documented observational studies showing that lithium takers (bi-polar folks for instance) have much less AD.  And get this: Lithium "slows brain aging in general." There's not much detail on this yet, but I'd say that's a good thing. Orotate!!   Not just any lithium works, apparently only LITHIUM OROTATE, a reasonably priced supplement, does the job.  This article is a little vague on the dosage...

The Fastest Fix -- Kill the Cap! Payroll Tax Cap Gains!

Image
 There is No Respectable  Argument Against It* I would hardly miss it! 1. Removing the FICA (Social Security) Cap: Income above $176,100 is currently exempt from Social Security tax Estimated additional revenue: $100-150 billion annually 2. Including Capital Gains: Capital gains are currently not subject to payroll taxes Annual capital gains realizations: ~$800 billion to $1.2 trillion Applying 15.3% total payroll tax to capital gains Estimated additional revenue: $120-180 billion annually Combined Rough Estimate: $220-330 billion in additional annual revenue for Social Security and Medicare combined. THE AMERICAN SYSTEM ALLOWS --  ENCOURAGES! -- WEALTH TO BE ACCRUED. NOTHING SAYS ONLY THE UN-WEALTHY  HAVE TO PAY A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR INCOME IN FICA TAXES.  FAIR IS FAIR, AND IT'S NECESSARY TO HELP FIX THE...  $23 trillion Social Security shortfall and   $46 trillion Medicare shortfall projected over 30 years * I'd be happy to debate it. *G...
