That's despite research suggesting that it may be cheaper to end poverty than to maintain it.

Price of poverty hurts us all, yet research reveals an easy fix

In 2020, Australia massively increased welfare payments and conducted a live experiment in ending poverty, but when the subsidy was removed, many were thrown back into hardship. Leaving aside the mora...

Since he claimed herd immunity was inevitable, our NIH director invented his own definition to avoid admitting error (from 12/2022).

Since people can only die once, obviously the death rate would go down. This is not herd immunity.

Trump is executing people on the high seas by deeming them "enemy combatants" without any proof.

He's also called his political opponents — immigrants, Democrats, protesters — the "enemy within."

Put it together: How close is Trump to ordering attacks on them, too?
