Heart diseases for astronauts

mardi 2 août 2016 à 02:00

Astronauts that travelled far away from Earth got a big increase in heart disease many years later, compared with other astronauts.

The danger for them was the same as for the general public; but since they were selected for special fitness, they should have had much less heart disease, as other astronauts did.

They spent just one week away from Earth. Mars travellers, spending a much longer time away from Earth, might see a much larger effect.

Philip Morris

Even though Uruguay was not defeated by Philip Morris, the system which Philip Morris used keeps grinding countries down.

Just because it didn't score a hit on Uruguay this time is no excuse for allowing it to continue. These business-supremacy treaties must be killed!

Five non-fossil-fuel electric alternatives to the UK's new nuclear power plant would be cheaper and safer.

Obama's support to Clinton

mardi 2 août 2016 à 02:00

Obama says Clinton will be more of the same.

Right-wing Democrats, since Bill Clinton, have supported plutocratist policies such as business-supremacy treaties and assumed the working Americans that opposed them had "nowhere else to go". That worked because Republicans supported the same bad things, even harder.

Now that Trump says he opposes them, they have "somewhere else to go".

Since Trump has no scruples about lying, they are making a mistake in expecting him to sincerely oppose business-supremacy treaties. As his choice of Pence shows, he is happy to make a deal with the Republicans who support them. We have no idea what Trump would really do.
