Afaik profit is profit whether it's from subsidies or sales. On top of that, the government gave them grants to develop said vaccines, so r&d was highly discounted... Production of most vaccines as way cheap compared to r&d, so I doubt there is ever any "selling for a loss". Combine that with state mandates requiring kids to get vaccines before attending school (I'm not saying this is bad... Public health is a good thing), and you have a captive customer base.

A lot of Mr brain worms plans would seriously cut into the profits of major pharmaceuticals and agricultural behemoths that are major donors of Trump's campaign. I can't imagine them allowing trump to cut into their profits like that.

I truly miss reveal codes. It was an amazing feature.

If I remember correctly, wordperfect was so prevalent that most of the key combos also worked in lotus word pro/ami pro and Microsoft word out of the box.

I went to highschool in Utah in the 90s and it was covered pretty well... No glossing over or anything, tho I don't remember it being in any text book, I just remembered it from regular lecture time in US history class

Trillian from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. People see the book as satire but she really knew where her towel was.

Polar bears and penguins lack the coordination for true kung fu mastery

Every body (in the blue area) was kung-fu fighting. The parenthetical part was removed for rhyme scheme

No. New Zealand is there. They were not kung-fu fighting. The places they were not kung-fu fight are cored white. It's just unfortunate that it is also the background color

I actually use fish on my personal machine. But the servers I manage are pretty basic to save space and all just use stock bash.

It's been 57 short t years since my marriage has been a guaranteed right in the United States. It just blows my mind since my wife and I have been married for 24 years.

 

It's been 57 short years since it was a guaranteed right in the US that my wife and I could have our marriage recognized everywhere. To put that into perspective, we have been married for 24 years. When we got married I had no idea that there was ever a a question that we could be together. It's pretty insane to me.
