Recent wars didn't exactly help with funding health sciences. Seems to be a few questions around our specie's priorities as of late. Still fighting over dirt and who has the highest or fancier sandcastle.

It's a pity we can't compete on cures created or something more useful like, I don't know, carbon removed from atmosphere. There's an interesting competition worth winning.

It's what I keep thinking about whenever I watch the tv show For All Mankind. It would be so much better if we competed on things that are actually important.
Nah, everybody’s at the mall scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking out his credit card out of a fanny pack and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them
Hey, my 3 year old is very happy with sneakers with lights in.
If I get adult trainers with lights in, I'd be very happy too.
Guess Carlin never had such a privilege.
